HURON (men / women) is AYAQ’s dedicated trail running short: designed for intensity, heat, uneven terrain, and efforts where every movement counts. Made from a lightweight, highly breathable recycled technical fabric, it combines a stable fit with a zippered pocket optimized for minimal carry. This is a short built for running — not just “working out.”
1. Recycled technical fabric engineered for speed
The fabric used on HURON (men / women) is woven in Europe. It was selected for three key reasons:
- lightweight, essential for intensity and long climbs,
- breathability, to prevent overheating as pace rises,
- quick-drying, crucial for sustained comfort over time.
The texture remains comfortable against damp skin, a vital feature during prolonged efforts where sweat never fully stops.
2. Stable fit for technical sections
HURON (men / women) is designed to stay put when other shorts shift or bounce. Its cut offers:
- natural support at the waist without excessive compression,
- full freedom of the thigh for short steps, unstable footing, and quick accelerations,
- no friction points, even on long or fast descents.
The short disappears: it never disrupts your stride or adds unnecessary resistance.
3. Zippered pocket designed for real trail use
A key feature of HURON (men / women) is its zippered rear pocket. Positioned centrally on the hips, it fits:
- a compact phone,
- keys,
- and a few energy gels or bars.
Its placement minimizes bouncing and shifting, even on switchbacks, technical descents, or quick bursts. It lets you carry essentials without a vest or belt on short to medium runs.
4. HURON (men / women) within AYAQ’s trail ecosystem
HURON (men / women) is part of AYAQ’s comprehensive approach to intense effort. It pairs naturally with:
- MOLVENO and TENNO t-shirts for heat and sweat management,
- the active fleece jacket KOKANEE (men / women) for cool starts or altitude sessions,
- the windbreaker SHANDAR (men / women) to block wind without overheating,
- and hardshells SKORA (men / women), LONAK (men / women), or LONAK-XT (men / women) for full weather protection.
The goal remains consistent: lightweight, breathable pieces that adjust protection without compromising performance.
5. When to choose HURON (men / women)?
HURON (men / women) excels in:
- technical trail terrain,
- long climbs where body temperature rises quickly,
- intense sessions like tempo or threshold runs,
- summer running,
- and short outings when you want to run without a vest or belt.
It’s especially effective when you need a lightweight yet stable short that supports a demanding pace.
6. 100% European manufacturing & recycled fabrics
True to AYAQ’s philosophy, HURON (men / women) is made with:
- recycled technical fabrics woven in Europe,
- manufacturing in Portugal,
- and the same high standards applied to mountain gear.
Recycled materials are used only when matching the performance of non-recycled fabrics — as is the case here for breathability, comfort, and mechanical durability.
Conclusion
HURON (men / women) is AYAQ’s trail running short: lightweight, stable, breathable, and ready for challenging terrain. Designed for intensity, heat, and efforts where stride and temperature control make all the difference.
