Distance 7in Short combines weather resistance and utility for long mountain runs
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"These shorts are a dream for mountain running. The five pockets give me room to carry gels, keys, and even my phone securely. The stretchy fabric with DWR finish is tough and dries quickly, so I can focus on the trail, no matter the conditions."
The Distance 7in Short is crafted for long days on the trail, where durability, comfort, and functionality are key. Developed with insights from BD mountain athletes, these shorts feature a stretchy nylon-elastane blend with a PFC-free DWR finish that stands up to unpredictable weather and rugged terrain. Five utility pockets—including a secure zippered pocket for your phone—let us carry all the essentials without adding bulk. The updated quick-drying interior brief keeps us comfortable on steep climbs and long descents, while the reflective logos ensure visibility during early-morning or late-night adventures. Designed to perform and built to last, the Distance 7in Short is our go-to for trail running in the mountains.

Extremely Baggy
From the pictures included along with the description saying it is a regular fit, I assumed they were not too baggy. If you do not want baggy shorts, do not get these. It nearly feels like a skirt, by far the baggiest shorts I’ve had and I definitely do not have small legs. Other than that they are as the description says.

Great running shorts
Love the integrated liner and elastic waist. The pockets are well thought out and designed to keep things from falling out when you’re moving. The fit is spot on and they dry extremely fast. My favorite pair of running shorts by far.

Great pair of shorts
Got these for running and hiking. I used them recently to run in and they were great. The only problem is that my iPhone 12 doesn’t really fit in the back pocket but other than that they are awesome.

Love these shorts
I have multiple pairs and they are my go to. I am not a fan of the liners so most pairs I have are without. The material is sport on, drys super fast and has max movement. Recommend highly.

Durable shorts
Shorts feel like they’ll last along time. Flowy and the pocket are around the waste band so your goods aren’t smacking you as you run. Pockets are small so good for some small snacks/ keys not big enough to hold a phone

Light and Breezy
Great for any medium or long distance run on the trails with lots of pockets. Back pocket just barely fits phone without a case.

Great Running-hiking shorts

Phone
None of the 5 (unusable) pockets fit my standard-size iPhone so I had to return.
