How we pick

Every collection here starts with a pile of products and ends with a short list chosen by real men. For lightweight running shorts, that was Ollie, Kwame, Ian, Ade and Tom. They looked at cut, fabric, reviews where there were any and, honestly, whether they'd actually put it on this weekend. Things that look sharp on a model and baggy on everyone else tend to get cut. The full list underneath is everything that matched, from lots of different shops, so you can still have a proper browse.
