Montane Jetstream 5in Shorts

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

These shorts are minimal, fast-drying and built to move, and ideal for running light in warm weather.

Montane says: 

The Montane Jetstream 5″ Trail Running Shorts are engineered for peak performance on demanding trail runs.

Crafted from super-lightweight AEROFLYTE Lite fabric with side splits for unrestricted movement, they effortlessly manage moisture and dry quickly, keeping you cool and comfortable.

The low-profile, stretch waistband with built-in adjustment and bonded hems delivers a minimal, streamlined fit, ideal for high-intensity training and racing in warmer conditions.

Designed for a precise fit, these men’s trail shorts can be worn solo or layered with the Jetstream 5″ tights for added comfort and versatility.

Our Verdict

The Montane Jetstream 5in Shorts feel properly streamlined—nothing flaps, digs in or rides up. At 88g for a Medium, they’re light enough to forget about but still tough enough for rougher trails. The cut is short and unrestrictive, helped by split sides and a soft waistband that adjusts easily without bulk. I appreciated the bonded hems, which stay smooth even on long, sweaty climbs.

The internal pocket is helpful for a key or gel but won’t carry much more, so layering with tights or a belt would suit longer efforts. They’d be good for summer fell runs, fastpacking or as a breathable spare on longer hikes.
