Product description
SOAR x Altra is a new class of trail racing gear — system-engineered from the ground up for all-out performance across demanding terrain.
The centrepiece of the capsule: the all-new Trail Race Shorts. Ultra-light, waistband-free half-tights with integrated storage and advanced support — built for high-output racing.
A zero-waistband construction, secured by internal silicone grippers, delivers a smooth, unobtrusive feel with no pressure points. The French-woven base is lightweight, breathable, and compressive — reinforced with RHEON™ strips for shock absorption across technical terrain. Cut above the knee for precision and control.
A double-layer build forms a 360° storage system: a large front stuff pocket holds bottles and bulky items; darted side pockets expand for fast-access fuel; a zipped rear pocket secures valuables. Pull tabs aid under-pressure access.
At the rear, an external loop system holds poles or a jacket via a cord-lock closure - fast, stable, and easy to use on the move.
Finished with reflective SOAR and Altra logos.
Built for sharp climbs, fast drops and the long haul — where precision under pressure counts.
