“Wow, these are indeed Elite and live up to the name! The fabic is from another planet, possibly from the Silk Galaxy! These are flowy, but still trimmed to offer a nice performance fit. Much more true to size than the Baja Shorts and closer to the Altas standard. The split up the side helps them flow while running, while the cut is a bit slim (which I LOVE) when standing. Construction is solid and noticeable! 3.5" is a spicy length, but you should go for it!”
