Men's Cypher Titanium Alpaca 1" Elite Split Shorts

These split shorts are fantastic! Bought these and the jorts 1inch and they are both great quality and look nice too. Love BOA and will continue to order running clothes for our runners from them. Fabulous customer service and exceptional product!

Shorts felt great, wicked sweat away and didn't get soaked, even after 22 miles for my first run in them. Did run into a chafing issue with them being loaded up with 4 gels and my phone in the center pocket. Had to tie the drawstring super tight to keep them from falling off and ended up with some chafing from my phone bouncing and the tightness of the string. Totally manageable though with some lube in those particular areas. Unfortunately my phone, even being in a ziploc bag, did not survive 3+ hours of sweat and succumbed to water damage. Not the shorts fault for that though, still need a separate belt for that my phone so it doesn't get as wet.

The weight, fit, and look of these are as close as it comes to perfection.

Would be a 5 star but the recommendation to size up for this shirt was incorrect. I’m a medium in everything and per the guide I sized up to a large. The liner is too big and almost feels like it isn’t there and they are more like a 3 inch short (same length as all my 3 inchers). The material of the shorts is great though and the split is perfect. Won’t glue itself to your leg if you run in humid conditions. The pockets are perfect too. I tried the shorts on and made the mistake of thinking they would work so I washed and ran in them. Too late now. Anyways, my advice would be: don’t size up!

The fit is great, just like all 1" splits. Was worried before I ordered them that my gels (Science in Sport) would be too tall to fit in the pockets. They fit fine and I cannot feel them while running. Great race day short.

The first time I ran in these shorts, I almost didn't feel the shorts because of how lightweight they are. They are holding up very well and durable on intense trail runs. The plus is the amount of pockets that can hold plenty!!
