With the same great fit and durable wicking fabric as the Mello Tight, the Mello Long Shorts are made to stay in place and keep you cool whatever your activity.

  • Comfortable sweat-wicking material
  • Ultimate freedom of movement with 4-way stretch
  • High waist and deep waistband for a secure fit

Four-way stretch fabric lets you move with freedom, whether that’s a quick morning trail run or a full day climbing at sun-baked Spanish crags. With a slightly longer length to prevent chafing and a highly wicking fabric, they’re designed to keep you comfortable and cool when the temperatures climb.

The close (but not compressive) fit is designed to stay in place whatever your activity. A high waist with a deep waistband stays in place, offers more coverage and is more comfortable under harnesses and rucksack hip-belts. With fully opaque fabric so you don’t end up revealing more than you intended!

Able to withstand the (often literal) scrapes we get ourselves into outdoors; the soft nylon knit is deceptively hardwearing, providing extra durability when squeezing past rocks or getting into unexpected battles with bracken after one too many wrong turns.
