Pair the lightweight Track Tee with the featherweight Pace Short for a breathable, quick-drying summer running outfit. Here's why they work together and who should consider alternatives.
Quick answer
The Track Tee and Pace Short form a lightweight, quick-drying summer running kit that works for everything from track workouts to casual jogs, but the Pace Short's built-in liner may not suit everyone.
Why this pair works for summer running
Both pieces use lightweight, fast-drying fabrics that handle heat and sweat without weighing you down. The Track Tee's mesh paneling dissipates heat, while the Pace Short's featherweight nylon outer (40gsm) feels barely there. Together they create a kit that moves with you and dries quickly between sessions.
Trade-off to consider
The Pace Short includes a built-in 4-way stretch half tight liner with flatlock seams. This adds comfort for running but means you cannot wear your own compression shorts or briefs underneath. If you prefer to choose your own liner, the Pace Short may not be your first pick.
Decision rules
- Choose this kit if: You want a coordinated, lightweight summer running outfit that dries quickly and handles heat well. Both pieces are designed for active use and work together seamlessly. This is a ready-to-go kit for warm-weather running.
- Choose the Track Tee alone if: You already have running shorts you love but need a breathable, quick-drying top. The Track Tee pairs well with any shorts.
- Choose the Pace Short alone if: You prefer a built-in liner and want an ultralight short for running or training. It works with any moisture-wicking top.
Product facts
- Track Tee ~ Black/Brown: Lightweight paneled mesh tee that dissipates heat and dries quickly, with color blocking in the same organic shaping as the Track Crew and Track Jacket. You stay cooler during runs and the tee dries fast between workouts, so you can wear it multiple times in a week without smelling stale.
Track Tee ~ Black/Brown - Pace Short ~ Black/ Brown: Featherweight nylon outer at 40gsm (about 1oz) with a built-in 4-way stretch half tight liner and flatlock seams. The short feels almost weightless during movement, and the liner eliminates the need for extra layers while preventing chafing.
