Short 522 - Women - Albedo

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 designed to hold a 500 mL flask (or 250 mL depending on the version) in an intuitive way while eliminating any bouncing. Its bi-stretch fabric, naturally under tension, combined with a high-rigidity silicone elastic at the top, firmly secures the flask against the waistband and prevents movement during running. The warp and weft structure, with high elastic stiffness (apparent modulus of 0.073 N/%) and up to 65% stretch, strikes the perfect balance between support and accessibility.

This 150 mL pocket is designed to securely hold your keys, gels, or earphones while eliminating any bouncing. Its reverse cross-closure, combined with a bi-stretch fabric, allows for intuitive access to its contents. The pocket’s high elasticity, with up to 80% stretch, ensures a perfect fit for carried items, while its elastic stiffness (apparent modulus of 0.125 N/%) provides support and stability.

This flat drawcord with knot provides additional support to the Möbius Belt™ technology in cases of heavy load or high-intensity running.

The four loops located at the back of this waistband are designed to accommodate a future WISE innovation (Belt Quiver). In the meantime, they are perfect for attaching quicklaces and carrying your poles.

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.

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 fabric of these shorts is extremely elastic, delivering unmatched comfort and placing them in a category of their own on the market. Its bi-stretch warp and weft construction offers an exceptional maximum elongation of 120%, adapting seamlessly to all your movements, while its low elastic stiffness (apparent modulus of 0.054 N/%) reflects a clear focus on comfort rather than muscle compression.

Don’t be misled by its air permeability of 918 L/m²/h measured at rest. Thanks to the fabric’s extreme elasticity, breathability can nearly double when the material is stretched over your quadriceps.

This 250 mL pocket allows you to carry a phone or nutrition on your thigh without any bouncing. Strategically positioned on the outer side of the thigh while remaining easily accessible, it does not interfere with running biomechanics. Made from a stretch fabric with up to 120% elongation and constructed with 10% tension, it instantly secures its contents against the thigh to eliminate inertial movement while running.

This tight features a quick-access opening that allows you to relieve yourself during a run while keeping the shorts securely in place. Strategically positioned to suit both male and female anatomy, this opening enables fast stops by simply adjusting the outer layer to reveal the flap. You no longer need to worry about a fully loaded waistband or the risk of losing your gear during breaks.

The laser-cut finish delivers ultimate comfort, fully revealing the fabric’s elasticity while eliminating any risk of irritation, even after long hours of effort.

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.
