These 10 Running Shorts Are the Secret to a Chafe-Free Workout

Patagonia Multi Trails Shorts ($69)

Made specifically for trail running, hiking, and just about any other adventuring you want to do, these Patagonia running shorts are designed to hold up to both chafing and outdoor wear and tear. Not only are they made of a blend of sweat-resistant, chafe-resistant polyester and spandex, the sturdy yet stretchy fabric also features a protective layer of DWR (durable water repellent).

Why we love it: Along with their sweat-wicking properties, these shorts also have a layer of HeiQ on the inside to combat odor. One happy customer reports wearing them for running, yoga, hiking waterfalls, and even surfing.

What's worth noting: As one reviewer who's 5'3" noted, these shorts can be a little long on shorter people.
