Montane Jetstream 7in Short Tights

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Minimalist and breathable, these short tights offer a second-skin fit that holds steady on the move—whether worn solo or under a pair of overshorts.

Montane says: 

Take on the trails with the Montane men’s Jetstream 7″ trail running half tights.

Designed for endurance, these lightweight, breathable shorts offer unmatched comfort and performance on long trail runs. Crafted from AEROFLYTE Stretch fabric, weighing just 65g, they provide superior moisture-wicking and 4-way stretch for unrestricted movement.

The minimal, low-profile waistband, ultrasonic welded seams and silicone grippers ensure a secure fit without chaffing whether worn alone or layered. Complete with an external thigh pocket, they offer convenient storage without sacrificing comfort.

Layer them with the Jetstream 7″ trail running shorts for added coverage and versatility in changing conditions.

Our Verdict

At just 62g (medium), the Montane Jetstream 7in Short Tights feel like they’re barely there, but they deliver where it counts. The AEROFLYTE fabric stretches naturally with the body and dries fast, which I’ve found especially useful on steep, sweaty climbs. The fit is snug without feeling restrictive, and the low-profile waistband and ultrasonic seams make for a clean finish with no rubbing or bulk, even under a running vest.

Silicone grippers at the hem keep everything in place, and they’ve held well without pinching or riding up. The external thigh pocket is compact but handy—ideal for stashing a phone. I’ve worn them comfortably on their own in hot conditions, but they also layer well under a pair of shorts if you prefer more coverage.
