Why We Like The Black Diamond Distance 5in Short
Working with their athletes, Black Diamond developed the Distance 5in Short for those ultralong trail runs. The high-stretch material, split-leg design, and elastic waist give us a range of motion limited only by our own mobility, while the interior brief delivers the quick-drying support we need when going fast and far.

Tried and tested.
Fit great! Wish the side pockets were a little bit bigger but overall 5 stars.

Great shorts
The Distance Shorts have quickly become my go-to for weekday summer trail runs. Light, long enough for coverage but not too long, great pockets for all the necessities, and a light weight material that I expect to hold up over time.

Extremely Baggy
From the pictures included along with the description saying it is a regular fit, I assumed they were not too baggy. If you do not want baggy shorts, do not get these. It nearly feels like a skirt, by far the baggiest shorts I’ve had and I definitely do not have small legs. Other than that they are as the description says.

Great running shorts
Love the integrated liner and elastic waist. The pockets are well thought out and designed to keep things from falling out when you’re moving. The fit is spot on and they dry extremely fast. My favorite pair of running shorts by far.

Great pair of shorts
Got these for running and hiking. I used them recently to run in and they were great. The only problem is that my iPhone 12 doesn’t really fit in the back pocket but other than that they are awesome.

Love these shorts
I have multiple pairs and they are my go to. I am not a fan of the liners so most pairs I have are without. The material is sport on, drys super fast and has max movement. Recommend highly.

Durable shorts
Shorts feel like they’ll last along time. Flowy and the pocket are around the waste band so your goods aren’t smacking you as you run. Pockets are small so good for some small snacks/ keys not big enough to hold a phone

Comfortable and Durable
I have been enjoying these shorts this summer…they have been comfortable and durable during a cabin build.

Light and Breezy
Great for any medium or long distance run on the trails with lots of pockets. Back pocket just barely fits phone without a case.
