    Auster Short

    The La Sportiva Men's Auster Short looks like a pair of standard running shorts, except it's more durable for longer use on the trail. Its stretchy fabric still breathes and dries quickly like you'd expect out of performance-oriented shorts—it even has a mesh brief—but it's even better when you're running through bushes with poking twigs.

    • Running short is durable enough for the trails
    • Stretchy fabric breathes and dries quickly
    • Rear mesh lining enhances ventilation
    • Elastic waist with adjustable drawstring
    • Two side pockets and zippered back pocket

    Garbage

    • Familiarity: I've used it several times
    • Fit: True to size

    Have worn for 2 weeks since it took 2 weeks to ship. Can't return now. Order May 15th received late May.


    The skinny: Elastic waist band is tearing off after 2 washes. Nice big hole there between the elastic and short. Also its pilling badly after 2 washes.

    Not a good product. Don't waste money unless they correct the problem.

    Measure under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest.
    Neck:
    Measure around the base of your neck.
    Natural Waist:
    Measure around your natural waistline, keeping the tape a bit loose.
    Inseam:
    Using pants that fit well, measure the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg.
    Sleeve:
    Measure from the center of your back to your wrist with arms held out.
