La Sportiva

Flow 5in Short - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like these for longer outings when I want a bit more coverage than a split short. The laser-cut ventilation keeps them noticeably cooler, and the liner’s silicone grip prevents any ride-up. The thigh pocket and mesh zip pocket make carrying essentials super easy."

We reach for the Flow 5in Short when our runs stretch into warm, high-output days and we want breathable coverage that won’t slow us down. La Sportiva uses a lightweight recycled fabric with laser-cut ventilation holes to keep airflow moving, making these shorts a go-to for hot trail loops and long training blocks. The integrated liner brings support and stability, with silicone grip to stay comfortably in place as we accelerate.

Details make the Flow 5in Short adaptable across a range of environments. A drawstring waistband lets us fine-tune the fit, while bonded hems minimize chafing when mileage climbs. Storage is dialed for on-the-go needs: a left thigh pocket for quick access, plus a rear zippered mesh pocket for items we want secure. Removable, adjustable reflective loops give us the option to carry poles or extra layers without interrupting our stride. From rolling trails to after-work road runs, the Flow 5in Short stays ready for whatever we’re tackling next.
