Specialized Traction Mens Shorts

Tough trails demand tougher gear—and the Men’s Traction Short delivers. Developed with input from Loïc Bruni and Finn Iles, these shorts are built from abrasion-resistant, four-way stretch fabric with fast-drying yarns and laser-perforated vents to keep airflow high. At just 168 gsm—59 grams lighter than before—they’re as light as they are tough. A curved waistband and snap closure provide a secure fit, while multiple pockets keep essentials close. Bonus: an iron-on patch for quick fixes.
