X-BIONIC COREFUSION RUN SHORTS SS26
Trail shorts engineered from the only point of constant contact — the waistband.
Developed across two price points for men and women, the project introduced customized X-Bionic trims and a patented 3D rib waistband using push–pull yarn technology. The construction actively transports sweat, reduces friction, and prevents wet cling during long-distance efforts.
Ultra-durable, slightly water-repellent main fabric built for unpredictable terrain.
Gender-specific pattern engineering supports uphill drive and downhill control.
Core storage in both versions.
Premium edition adds gel pockets, zip pocket, and reflective visibility elements.
