T8 Ultra Sherpa Shorts – Unisex

T8 is an Asian brand and has a very slim fit, which differs from North American sizing standards. We strongly recommend consulting the provided T8 sizing measurements. As a general rule, choose at least one size up from what the guide suggests. If you are at the upper end of a size range, consider going up two sizes.

The Trail Runner Store does not assume responsibility if the sizing is still not a perfect fit for you.

Bring a (bigger) Sherpa* on your run!

We designed these for hardcore trail runners who love our regular Sherpa Shorts but want to go that extra mile (or 50!) without wearing a backpack.

New features include:

• Extra secure waistband to carry much MORE
• Adjustable and removable pole holders
• Rear padding protects against pole chafe
• ⁠Laser-cut fabric and mesh crotch for extra ventilation

Plus all the same features as our regular Sherpa Shorts:

• Super lightweight 78gsm fabric with 4-way stretch and DWR coating
• Four hyper-stretch mesh pockets for bounce-free comfort
• Handy pull tabs with detachable race bib holders, internal key holder
• 6″ in-seam and reversible drawstring holes Composition – 80% nylon, 20% elastane

Sizing Notes:

These are unisex design so men should wear their regular Sherpa size, while women should size down (eg. women’s M = unisex S). Also, please note the extra secure waistband will feel tighter initially but relax over time.

“Perfect for running Hong Kong 100 without a backpack. I fit three soft flasks, rain jacket, phone, poles, head torch and gels, and all with zero bounce.” – John Ellis, 14 time Hong Kong 100 Finisher and Co-Founder of T8

While colloquially known as elite mountaineer guides, Sherpas are more accurately a major ethnic group in the eastern regions of Nepal. We believe in giving back so 1% of profits from Sherpa Shorts website sales will be donated to the Himalayan Trust Nepal to support their fabulous work. HTN was established in 1960 by Sir Edmund Hillary and provides holistic community-led sustainable development in the Solukhumbu district, with a particular focus on healthcare, education and earthquake rebuilding.
