Year Track Short

These shorts are cut from a crisp, lightweight ripstop that holds a structured, slightly flared shape away from the leg. The wide, multi-stitched waistband provides a secure, high-rise anchor, while the white piping detail at the side seams offers a sharp, vintage-athletic finish. It is a no-nonsense technical piece designed for movement, best paired with scrunched athletic socks and trail-ready footwear to lean into the utilitarian aesthetic.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: Composed primarily of polyester and spandex, this garment is a petroleum-based synthetic that lacks natural breathability and may trap heat against the skin during exertion. The high synthetic content raises concerns regarding microplastic shedding and potential chemical transfer through sweat.
