Brand Introduction


Running enthusiasts are likely familiar with the versatile sportswear from Sweden's CRAFT, which has been a bestseller in Europe for many years. CRAFT, a functional sportswear brand, was founded in Sweden in 1977. Utilizing unique fabrics and sewing techniques, their clothing offers excellent moisture-wicking performance during intense exercise, maximizing comfort and creating an ideal microclimate for the body. This ensures a comfortable experience during physical activity, helping you achieve optimal performance. Today, CRAFT clothing is successfully used in a wide range of sports, including football, basketball, running, orienteering, and cycling.

Unboxing


Upon receiving the shorts, the first impression is that they are very light, with a delicate, smooth, and elastic feel. This series features lightweight 5-inch running shorts with an inner triangle lining, suitable for marathon training and competitions. The classic black color can be paired with any running top. The fabric is made of high-tech polyester elastic functional fibers, which quickly wick away moisture and dissipate heat. The waistband is designed with high elasticity, providing a comfortable fit without being too tight like regular shorts. It includes a flat drawstring that can be adjusted to your waist size to prevent slipping during intense exercise. The sides of the waistband are ergonomically cut with a streamlined design, and the back of the waistband and sides of the legs feature breathable mesh panels for faster heat and moisture dissipation. The sides of the legs also have reflective points, and the right side has a CRAFT reflective logo for added safety during exercise. The back of the waistband has a zippered storage pocket for storing cards and keys. The split design at the hem allows for greater freedom of movement. These shorts feature a two-layer design, which is a unique interpretation of CRAFT's functional sportswear. The inner layer is a lightweight triangle brief that ensures sweat is successfully transferred to the second layer, keeping the body dry.




Field Test


You only know by trying, and you only understand by running. First, relax with a short video.


 

On the track, during interval sprints, they feel as light as air, fitting snugly and reliably, giving you the freedom of the wind! Let your exercise be effortless!


The sides of the waistband are ergonomically cut with a streamlined design, and combined with the high-tech polyester elastic functional fabric, they allow the hips to move freely.


The back of the waistband has a zippered storage pocket that can hold a small phone, cards, and keys, as well as energy gels and salt tablets during competitions.


During a 10K morning run at a pace of around 4 minutes per kilometer, the CRAFT running shorts remained dry except for a bit of sweat at the back of the waistband. The split design at the hem allows for greater freedom of movement.


During a 5K desert trail run, the close-fitting feel was very comfortable, and the airflow inside the shorts was excellent, keeping them very refreshing! At high speeds, the unique design of the hem allows wind to be expelled from below, wicking away moisture and providing breathability, letting you enjoy running from the inside out.


These lightweight 5-inch running shorts are very suitable for marathon training and competitions and can be used for multiple sports. They are characterized by being lightweight, dry, breathable, safe, and stylish. The most notable feature is the high-elasticity waistband, which provides a very comfortable fit. Personally, I think the small pocket at the back of the waistband could be slightly larger, or elastic mesh pockets could be added on both sides. During competitions, you can store your phone, energy gels, salt tablets, disposable raincoat, etc., making your exercise more secure.
