Nordstrom Has an Unbeatable Discount on These Lightweight Vuori Running Shorts

For guys, the list of essential running gear is pretty short (at least in the summer): shoes, socks, and shorts. Nordstrom can help you with the last part of that trifecta. The retailer is in the middle of its blowout Anniversary Sale, and right now it has the best-on-the-internet deal on a pair of lightweight, super-stretchy Vuori running shorts.Normally $98, Vuori’s Terrain 5-inch Lined Running Shorts are on sale for $73, a 26% discount. Nordstrom has the best price I could find for these shorts—it beats the prices at both REI and directly from Vuori. The sale price applies to the Slate Rock and Black colorways, but Slate Rock has the best size range in stock (S up to 2XL).Vuori describes the Terrain as its “pinnacle run short,” and this pair is built to maximize comfort and mobility for distraction-free running, even when going long-distance. The Terrain is made from a breezy and stretchy ripstop polyester-elastane fabric, and its five-inch inseam length reduces bulk and keeps the shorts out of your way when running. The shorts have a built-in liner, so you can skip the underwear, and dual-drop-in side pockets are perfect for housing gels. There’s also a single zippered hip pocket for keeping small essentials secure (interestingly, the Terrain shorts on the Vuori website lack this pocket). The wide, flat waistband and drawcord help you get a secure, slip-free fit—a make-or-break factor with any pair of running shorts.The Terrain shorts have a proven design that works well. They’re built with pockets to carry small items, but weight and bulk are kept to a minimum, and the built-in liner simplifies your running outfit. At full price, these shorts are on the expensive side, but now’s a great time to score a pair at a significant discount. Sizes are already selling out, so grab your pair ASAP before they’re all gone.Shop the Vuori Terrain Shorts on NordstromMichael is a freelance writer with years of experience covering gear and the outdoors for Runner's World and other publications; when he's not writing, he's usually biking, hiking, and running in the mountains around Los Angeles, where he lives.
