Salomon

Sense Aero 7in Short - Men's

Weirdest looking shorts ever.

Familiarity:

I returned this product before using it

Size Bought:

Large

And, horrible design too. Fit really weird, brief inside isn’t attached all the way along the top so fit is horrible. Salomon makes better trail running shorts than these.

Decent

Objectively a great short, but the sizing is a little misleading. I'm 5'9/175lb and these are a little tight after the first few washes. Certainty still wearable but buyer beware, especially if you're well-endowed. Also, they do not have a 7" inseam. They're probably closer to 5".

Best trail running shorts

Very happy with these shorts. I used to primarily use 2in1s for ultra races, as those would work better for me in dealing with chuffing. I decided to try these shorts and they are much lighter that 2in1s, no chuffing, much better for the hot weather. Considering buying another pair. I thing to note is that I haven’t found pockets to be very useful, but this is purely personal preference - I use a vest for nutrition and small things

Favourite shorts for trail running

Had these last year and was so pleased to see them back in stock. Best running shorts I’ve had. Super comfy and handy pocket at the front which even my large iPhone 14 pro max fits in, perfect shorts

Sense Aero shorts

Used on several training runs during the hot weather, extremely comfortable and the pockets work well with my gels etc not bouncing about. Also quick drying , would recommend.

Get Rid Of The Liner and Then 5 Stars

I love Salomon trail running shoes and wanted to give the shorts a go. I like the longer 7" option and was impressed with the front very useable pockets for placing fuel. This allows me to carry a handheld bottle or two and still access my gels and snacks. It also allowed my to not rely on a vest for shorter training runs or on events that aid stations were plenty. They are lightweight, fast drying and cool. The one thing they state is the brief liner doesn't allow chaffing. Sorry, these are not non chaffing. I even wore a pair of boxer style liners and still got chaffed on a 12 mile run. I really don't understand why manufacturers are not getting the hint that these brief liners cause us problems. Get rid of the brief and put in a boxer liner or just no liner at all.

Comfort and utility

Great shorts . I’ve liked all the sense shorts and this new iteration is no exception. Extra side pockets a welcome addition.

Super trail race shorts

Reimagining running shorts for sure from the fabric to fit to pockets/features. Salomon Sense Aero are my lightest & coolest shorts by far! I’ve tested them in two 50km mountain runs and will use them in my upcoming mountain 100miler. Super comfortable with zero chafing and the pockets work great for me. Maybe not a cool / cold weather short but I’ll be using them for a good part of the year. Fabric is very light so I wouldn’t use them bushwhacking/heavy brush.
