Swift Lite 4in Short - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"These are my go-to running shorts when I want something light, breathable, and comfortable. The quick-drying fabric with movement-mirroring stretch keeps me cool on hot days, and the built-in liner adds extra support. I love the zippered back pocket for my key and the stretchy side pockets for gels. Whether I’m hitting the trails or logging miles on the road, these shorts keep me moving without distractions."

When every second and every step counts, the Swift Lite 4in Short delivers lightweight performance we can trust. Designed with technical features for trail runs, road training, and race day, these shorts balance breathability, stretch, and comfort to keep us moving with ease.

The quick-drying fabric wicks away sweat, while the laser-cut hem and side slits enhance mobility for a completely unrestricted stride. A built-in brief liner ensures a secure fit, and laser-perforated ventilation at the back yoke panel helps us stay cool when the miles start adding up. Thoughtful storage—like the zippered back pocket and stretchy side pockets—keeps small essentials secure, so we can focus on the trail ahead.
