the mako short vs. the versatility short: a brief comparison of epic shorts
Often the hardest choices are those that make you choose between two great things. Such is often the dilemma between our beloved Mako Short and the incredible Versatility Short. How is it possible to choose between two great pairs of shorts? The first step is to figure out what makes each one great and where each one thrives. And who knows...maybe at the end of the day you'll find yourself in need of both shorts. Let's get into it.
VERSATILITY SHORT
Let's be honest.
We aren’t gym rats, Instagram influencers, or six-minute ab models. We don’t live to train. We train for life, and we need a short that can keep up. Meet the Versatility Short, inarguably the world’s best short for, well, anything. Boasting unmatched durability, incredible comfort, and peak performance, this short can handle anything you can throw at it.
WHY YOU NEED IT
If your training pushes your boundaries and you're simply looking for a short that can keep up, you need the Versatility Short. Here are a few reasons you'd want a pair (or three) in your arsenal.
-
4-way stretch fabric (when you move, the Versatility moves with you, not against you)
-
Lightweight warp knit fabric (when you breathe, your shorts breathe)
-
Sweat-wicking (keeping you dry mile after mile or burpee after burpee)
-
Interior waistband drawcord for adjustability (synch up or down depending on your needs)
-
Lined and unlined options (running, jumping or downward-dogging, you've got this)
-
Flatlock seams for chafe-free performance (less rub means you can do more)
-
Zippered invisible pocket (don't be that guy who holds your keys while you run)
-
Abrasion-resistant fabric (rep after rep, round after round, the Versatility will hold up)
IDEAL ACTIVITIES
Honestly, anything you put your mind to. (Crossfit, tennis, AM cardio, hiking)
MAKO SHORT
Train, lift, whatever, these shorts were built to operate during any workout. With enough pockets to hold your phone, wallet, cards, and keys, these shorts have you covered for indoor and outdoor workouts.
WHY YOU NEED IT
-
9" Inseam or 7" inseam
-
Pockets: Two side pockets, media pocket, zippered back pocket, hidden zipper stash pocket (go from the gym to our and about with pockets a plenty)
-
Gusseted seams for mobility (burpees or bedtime wrestling, you're covered)
-
Drawcord-adjustable waistband (sometimes things just need adjusting and sometimes you need that extra security)
-
Four-way stretch fabric (when you move, the Mako moves)
-
Quick-drying (DWR finish) (sweaty or not, the Mako is ready for any workout)
-
Vertical side seams for shape retention (wash after wash, the Mako holds up)
IDEAL ACTIVITIES
Pick up soccer games, kettlebell workouts, weightlifting, running to the store
