Lightweight and built for movement, ideal for high-output days.Rab says:The Talus Light Shorts are stripped-back, minimalist legwear for when youre counting every gram on ultras and long-distance mountain runs. These ultralight, ultra-breathable 3-inch running shorts have a streamlined design and a simple waistband construction, so youre never carrying more than you need. With only the essential fabric and storage, the Talus Light Shorts are light and airy in warm conditions, and ideal for runners who like to keep weight and bulk to an absolute minimum.Our VerdictAt just 89g (UK 10), the Talus Light Shorts from Rab are purpose-built for fast, warm-weather runs. The Matrix fabric breathes exceptionally well and dries quickly when the pace picks up. Ive found the inner brief supportive and chafe-free even on longer runs, and the flatlock seams help keep everything comfortable next to the skin.The fit is minimalist and close, with a no-fuss waistband that stays in place without squeezing. Theres no drawcord, but the stretch is dialled in enough that it never felt like an issue. Storage is limited to two small rear stash pocketsfine for gels or keys.- Reviewed by Ultralight Outdoor GearFeaturesElasticated waistband2 Rear elasticated easy access stash pocketsLightweight Inner brief, with gusset and flatlock seamsSpecificationsUK 8 weighs: 83gUK 10 weighs: 89gUK 12 weighs: 91gUK 14 weighs: 97gMaterial & ConstructionLightweight Matrix single weave stretch fabric (84gsm) with fluorocarbon-free DWRFlexile 100 with fluorocarbon-free DWR waistbandLining: Motiv Aero single jersey fabric with subtle mesh structure (85gsm) with odour control treatmentMain Body: 86% Polyamide, 14% Elastane, Waistband: 75% Polyamide, 25% Elastane, Mesh: 80% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, Inner Brief: 56% Polyester (Recycled), 44% PolyesterHelp & advice:About RabRab Sustainability and Responsibility
