These performance shorts are made to move with you. With four-way stretch to keep you going in every direction, and moisture-wicking to help keep you cool and sweat-free, these shorts are perfect for up-tempo runs, cool downs, and meanders. From carbon emissions to clothing - these shorts are made using an innovative carbon recycling technology, LanzaTech. Carbon emissions from manufacturing sites are captured before they're released into the atmosphere and converted into a raw material that makes polyester fibres.

Summer shorts for travelling

"Ideal shorts for taking on holiday. They are smart and comfortable and dry quickly. Not too short either so smart enough for any situation."

— Karen W. (5/5)

Great fit, look good

"I'm wearing these while answering the email request for feedback :-) . They are an excellent fit - having the wide, elasticised waist band means you don't have "muffin top" and the fit well and are comfortable. I wear a shirt hanging over the waistband and they look like normal shorts. I'm very happy with them. The only slight negative is there are no pockets."

— Heather D. (5/5)

Women's Seeker Shorts

"Honestly love these shorts for hiking and pickleball. Super comfy and quick to dry, so impressed I now have 5 pairs incase they stop making them."

— Kim A. (5/5)

Great fit

"These were perfect for what I was looking for, not too short light fabric and really comfortable to run. Excellent value for money"

— Megan W. (5/5)

Love the length, another pocket would be good!

"Great length - stops the thigh chafing without being so long you look like a retired rambler in the English countryside. Waist band is a little baggier than expected if you're someone with a bit of a hip : waist ratio gap so could size down. . . but otherwise comfy!! Just lacking a really decent pocket ;). (The plight of all women's clothing!)."
