Short 122 - Man

This waistband features a bi-stretch warp and weft structure with an apparent elastic modulus of 0.125 N/%, at a weight of just 107 g/m²—demonstrating a true technological achievement and exceptional craftsmanship, unmatched on the market. This exclusive carrying technology enables the belt to deliver maximum support, unprecedented load capacity, and outstanding comfort all at once.

This pocket is ideal for carrying your keys securely thanks to an integrated loop. Positioned in the groin crease, it remains discreet and does not interfere with your movements. Its size, combined with a stretch fabric, has been carefully designed to keep standard keys firmly in place, preventing bouncing or unwanted noise.

Minimalist and intuitive, this elastic drawcord with cord lock provides additional support and allows you to perfectly adjust the waistband to your body shape.

This flat seam, mainly used for base layers, reduces friction by eliminating bulk caused by traditional seam allowances. Combined with the use of textured (soft) thread, it creates a construction that is completely unnoticeable for the runner, making it ideal for underwear, leggings, and base layers.

The multi-panel construction of this tight adapts to and follows the body’s morphology in motion, delivering exceptional comfort. The crotch seam is slightly shifted forward to eliminate friction in this high-chafing area. The three-dimensional pattern, enhanced by a large gusset, significantly increases volume to remove any biomechanical constraints.

The exclusive EverdryAero™ fabric has been developed to achieve the perfect balance between lightness, breathability, and fast drying for maximum versatility in ultra-distance use. Its warp and weft construction incorporates a network of soluble yarns that are dissolved during the dyeing process, creating a grid of micro-ventilation channels that enhance thermoregulation.

Combined with high elasticity, up to 65% stretch, and a weight of just 90 g/m², EverdryAero™ is a true technological achievement from Payen. It provides this tight with complete freedom of movement while ensuring you stay dry at all times.

This discreet 200 mL pocket, positioned against the boxer, allows you to carry a phone, keys, or nutrition without any bouncing. Placed at hip level, just below the hip flexion point, it does not interfere with running biomechanics and remains virtually unnoticeable. Made from a stretch fabric with up to 65% elongation and constructed with 10% tension, it instantly secures its contents against the thigh to eliminate inertial movement while running.

This finish eliminates seams (and excess fabric thickness) against the skin, completely removing friction caused by standard constructions. The outward folded and bonded hem is specifically designed for ultra-light fabrics. By bonding the hem outward so the fold does not come into direct contact with the skin, this finish becomes virtually unnoticeable for the runner.

This double seam, strategically placed at the crotch panel, enhances both comfort and durability. Oriented outward, it remains imperceptible to the runner as no seam bulk comes into contact with the skin, eliminating any friction. Located in a high-stress area, this dual construction (overlock + coverlock) also ensures long-lasting performance.

The FlowLite™ fabric is an Everdry textile with an ultra-light weight of 54 g/m², making this outer layer one of the lightest on the market. Its bi-stretch construction, with up to 60% elongation, allows it to follow your running biomechanics seamlessly.

Despite its featherweight, its exceptional yarn density (88 threads/cm) delivers outstanding durability, exceeding abrasion resistance tests (>30,000 Martindale cycles) as well as tear resistance benchmarks—highlighting both a technological achievement and the exceptional expertise of Payen mills.

This side slit ensures complete freedom of movement, whether during long strides or in technical sections. It also reflects a purposeful construction: a shorter front panel designed to enhance range of motion, and a longer rear panel providing the right level of coverage.
