Our Verdict

The BD Sprint shorts are designed by a man who knows a thing or to about trail and mountain running, Joe Grant known for his extreme mountain marathons has created these with the highest level of functionally and comfort in mind. 

The Sprints offer a range of features that make them perfect for those looking for a short that will help them cover longer distances in the hills. The five utility pockets give good space for things such as a mobile, energy gels, car key etc… while the DWR coating means that you don’t have to worry about them getting soaked if the rain does come done. The inner liner is heavily wicking and great at removing any undue moisture, so no need to worry about discomfort on warmer days.

The Stretch Nylon fabric is the level of durable you need for mountain/trail environments while offering no restriction to your movements.
