With the trail season now open, I’d like to give a shout-out to the new trail running shorts from NEDAO. “I already like the shirt, but these shorts are amazing!”
.
The highlight is the large 360-degree waist belt, which fits snugly and holds a lot! You don’t have to carry everything in your hydration pack; you can distribute the load around your waist to relieve your shoulders and upper body (for shorter distances, you might not even need a hydration pack). It can fit a large smartphone, a 500 ml soft flask, and energy gels, and it also has a pole holder at the back (though I haven’t tried this feature yet, because I didn’t bring poles)
.
.
The fabric retains NEDAO’s signature DNA: it’s lightweight, comfortable, breathable, and incredibly quick-drying! I usually sweat a lot, but no matter how soaked I get or how long I lounge in the water, it dries quickly when exposed to air or sunlight (I was completely dry by the time I crossed the finish line).
.
The inside is a highly breathable compression liner (you don’t need to wear underwear at all; it’s snug and flexible without being baggy), and it also has additional inner pockets.
.
.
I didn’t test this beforehand, but I wore them straight into the Run for the Wild 50 km race. They felt great, with no chafing or irritation. The side slits also make running comfortable, allowing for unrestricted stride.
They also come with a whistle (which is a required piece of equipment for many races).
.
These will definitely become my go-to shorts for races.
.
They come in three colors (though sizes may currently be limited).
Neon Green 
Black 
Nedao Blue.
For women, the trail running skirt model is: Nedao Trailflex TrioSkirt Power Pouch
