Swix Action Short Men’s 9”

Read the abbreviated description of this short and you’re left wanting.  The problem as Active Junky sees it?  A lack of hubris, with a Collection that substitutes on-road and on-trail results for self-indulgent promotion. The Swix Nordic heritage that’s meant podiums, decade after decade, shows up in their Endurance Clothing Collection with rock-solid designs, sensible fabric selections and near-perfect sewing. Testers found the 9” short with a smooth Spandex liner sprinted ahead of the pack thanks to a flowing, non-binding liner.  Legs didn’t ride up when running outside and working out inside.  Non-zippered, dual side slash pockets fit gels and bars without ejecting them even during pushes, saving ID protection for the ample rear horizontal zipped pocket (along with an interior vertical elastic pocket).  Among the most washable, hard-wearing shorts Active Junky’s tested, don’t ignore this new line because Swix is taking a quieter path.  Because it’s one run by winners.
