District Vision Men's Ultralight Nylon Trail Short - Recycled Half Tights with Japanese Shell

The District Vision Men's Ultralight Nylon Trail Short combines recycled half tights with 5" ultralight Japanese nylon shell. Built with concealed phone pocket under the outer shell, secure rear technical zip pocket, discrete waistline key pocket, and substantial drawcords for secure, customisable fit.

 

 

Recycled Half Tights with Ultralight Japanese Shell

The liner uses recycled four-way stretch half tights (78% recycled nylon, 22% elastane) from Italy providing supportive coverage. The 5" outer shell employs 100% ultralight Japanese nylon weighing just 53gsm—creating barely-there feel whilst protecting the tights beneath. This dual-layer construction balances coverage with minimal weight.

 

 

Concealed Phone Pocket Under Shell

Phone pocket positioned under the outer shell keeps devices secure without visible bulk on the exterior. This concealed placement prevents bouncing whilst maintaining clean lines. The under-shell location protects phones from weather and sweat better than exposed pockets.

 

 

Technical Zip Pocket with Waistline Key Pocket

Secure rear technical zip pocket handles cards, gels, or valuables during trail runs. Discrete key pocket sewn into the waistline eliminates key bounce without requiring separate storage. Substantial drawcords provide customisable fit adjustment. Fabric sourced from Italy and Japan with weight ranging from 53-135gsm depending on construction.

Are These Trail Shorts Right for You?

For trail runners wanting the support of half tights without sacrificing storage or weather protection. The ultralight Japanese nylon shell at just 53gsm adds barely any weight whilst protecting the recycled Italian tights from brush, weather, and abrasion on technical terrain. The concealed phone pocket under the shell keeps devices secure without the visible bulk or bounce of external pockets—particularly useful during steep descents where everything else shifts around. Rear technical zip pocket handles nutrition and valuables, whilst the waistline key pocket eliminates the annoying jingle and poke of loose keys. If you prefer the coverage and support of tights but need shell protection and proper storage for trail running, this combination works without feeling like you're wearing two separate layers.
