We love the original Tracksmith Session Shorts; both the men’s and women’s versions are woven with the brand’s Veloce Blend, an Italian material that wicks away moisture and is UV protective. There’s an interior drawcord in the waistband to adjust fit, and a back interior pocket and external back zipper pocket for storage.

“These are a favorite short,” said Runner-in-Chief Jeff Dengate. “They’re supremely soft thanks to the Italian stretch-knit fabric. It’s light and feathery, and stretches when you stride out. My only gripe is that I think the liner could be a little more snug.”
Jeff lace a 5-inch inseam in shorts when he runs—and had strong opinions on longer inseams. “I won’t wear a 7-inch inseam,” he said. “I think NBA players should go back to the bootie shorts of the 1980s, and runners should free the thigh. Five inches is plenty long.”
Two More Inches
However, not all male runners share Dengate’s mindset, and some let Tracksmith know. After listening to their feedback, the Session Shorts are now also available with a longer inseam, just in case you want a little more leg coverage.

The new 7-inch inseam didn’t cause any lagging in our testers’ strides. “It clings in all the right places,” said one. The Polygiene liner also worked its odor-control magic for a couple of wears before being tossed into the wash.

The women’s update of the Sessions has a slightly longer inseam—3.25 inches—than the original women’s shorts (2.5 inches). The exposed elastic waistband sits comfortably high above the hips. You can fold it over, as well, if the elastic causes irritation (though I didn’t find this to be an issue). The fit is so comfortably snug, a drawcord is neither missed nor needed.

That Polygiene liner made 10-milers no sweat in the heat (i.e., no crotch stains), and I got in a couple more runs before throwing air in the hamper. The leg openings have a nice, loose fit that won’t hinder your pace. In march, I appreciated the airflow up my thighs.
I’ve tested the Twilight and Van Cortlandt bottoms in the past. The Session Shorts are a departure from the Tracksmith shorts I know. No internal back pocket, no ruched waistband with a drawcord. The other shorts are still in my rotation, however, and I find myself reaching for my avocado Sessions when I’m gearing up for a long run.
