Just got a pair of these, too, but haven't taken 'em out yet. I think apart from the liners (T8 or PathProjects for me), the other KEY THING IS SIZING, as you note Loyd, as these shorts are really made for the Asian market. If anything, I'd counsel people to size a full size (if not two) UP from the usual as they are... um... form-fitting. But they are great, tons of storage, and great for summer. If you have a bit of belly, the tabs/shorts/string can fold over but they are a great pair of shorts. Great review, as usual.

Great to see! I have a very old and somewhat knackered pair of salomon shorts with the same belt setup. The newer version doesn't look as good as the old and the price in insane. The T8's look really really good. Thanks for shedding light!

Got a pair when i was out in thailand, only short I'll wear in hot weather. Six months running everyday in plus 30° @ 90% humidity and they still look like new!

Great review (as always) and in my opinion one of the best performed bounce test i R4A history! 😃👍🏼

My go to is the Janji trail half tights, 7 pockets and their M 5” shorts

I’ve had the t8 Sherpa’s for some years and they are the best running shorts I’ve ever had. (compared to Salomon, Nike , Acics, Craft, running is dead etc.)

I love my original pair. That's worth thinking about. Also have the briefs and they are so nice in the summer. 👊👊

Hi Loyd, I really like your videos. It’s very informative and also very entertaining. Love that science bouncing test 👍😀 But I would like to thank you for one more thing. This morning I was just lazy and I didn’t want to go outside for run. Then I watched your video from the Loch Ness race and I got shamed of myself. Got out and my run went actually pretty well 🙂 Thank you Loyd for the motivation, I really appreciate your help 😀

Great brand. I have been using the original Sherpa for quite some time and they don´t disappoint. Looking forward to get the Ultra version.

Great to see T8 reach to UK! I am from Hong Kong and a big fan of T8. I have 5 pairs of T8 running shorts and I use them in all my races, be them road runs or trial runs. The problem to me is that the shorts are just so durable that I have no excuse to get a new pair. Thanks Loyd for the review, and I love watching your reviews and race recaps. Great work!

I’ve been using T8 for a couple years now (Loyd brought it to my attention!) I’ve been in the Ultra Sherpa for a couple mths, and these are certainly a step up from the original Sherpa, much more breathable. Only complaint is the pole holder, in the move it’s not exactly easy to get in and out, especially in. Maybe I’m just not doing it right. Otherwise top level shorts, pockets are great, no slipping, bib holder is maybe my favourite feature, especially when paired with the great commandos(I have 6 pairs). Thanks as always Loyd!

Great review, opened my eyes to a new brand. Thanks for making great content. 👍

Love my T8 Ultra Sherpa shorts and Commandos underwear. Great stuff and great review!

£25 will get you a nice pair of Evadict Trail Shorts from Decathlon with plenty of storage options and secure zipped pockets.

I have had a pair for a few years now and they are great

Good afternoon. Interesting description. Like to Run4adventure. A nice weekend for everyone.

T8 sherpa are my go to shorts for maraton. They work amazing!

The bib holders are great on T8 shorts

Thanks for the video Loyd and these look great but to be honest other than the pole carrying feature my decathlon trail shorts which I’ve had for about 3 years worn and washed a hundred times and are still good as new have all the other features of the T8’s are super comfortable and cost just £23. You pay your money you take your choice! 👍

I definitely prefer having a liner with a phone pocket. These look almost perfect but I dont really want to stash my giant phone in the belt bit

Got my pair last week coincidentally but haven't tried them yet, probably tomorrow am!

Got the standard Sherpa Shorts, not the Ultras - they're fantastic

I wish more brands would make decent running shorts without a liner 😢

I have a pair of regular T8 shorts, but unfortunately the storage compartment on the waistband is not long enough to hold salomon 500ml soft flask, and can only hold T8 300ml soft flask. Can T8 Ultra Sherpa Shorts hold salomon 500ml soft flask?

You mentioned which size you ordered, Loyd, but not your waist size..? Care to share? :)

Your video seems to be a succes: the large is sold out 😭😭. These seem to be the kind of shorts i like. So i'll try to find a pair.

Loyd, keep your hand out of your pants!😂

Insanely good running shorts. Combined with the commando it’s my go to ultra gear.

Terrex Agravic are brilliant and have a similar waistband with built in storage

❤❤❤

Who is selling these in the uk? TIA

What about the belt going up too high on the belly?

Great scientific bouncing around test professor Loyd !!!

Do they do women's ones or are they unisex.

👍 look good, but not cheap!

Had T8 shorts for long time. Their under pants are ultra light.

Love their underwear, really comfortable. Shorts look the same good quality, I prefer a baggier short so probably not for me but a great brand.
