Running shorts are among the hardest bits of kit to get right and it’s certainly difficult to find a pair that works for you. We think the all-new Women’s Dyno manages it. Removing bulky stitch lines, shaping the fabric panels and liner to create a comfortable short without extra weight or excess fabric has been a long-standing challenge but here they are.
The all-new bonded construction of the Dyno Shorts W provides unrivalled comfort. Paired with the supportive and breathable, colour-contrasted brief lining and a wide waistband plus handy storage on the move.
The 6” inseam Flexile 4-way stretch nylon shell is wind and water-resistant but extremely breathable whilst the spandex stretch liner is comfortable over any distance. Both fabrics work together to wick away excess moisture and dry quickly, mile after mile.
By reducing potential rub points with flatlock seams and bonded overlays plus moving stitching away from areas of friction and an extra wide waistband means we have produced what we believe to be our most comfortable short yet.
A simple design that belies the amount of work that goes into the finished product. With an athletic fit and clever panelling for a clean look alongside handy essentials like drawcord adjustment on the waist and a secure zippered pocket.
The 4-way stretch nylon outer is wind and water resistant, providing vital protection in squally conditions and on breezy ridges whilst the supportive liner is soft and comfortable against the skin.

Shorts or Leggings?
Some runners will only wear a full length legging when there is a foot of snow on the ground and a howling gale. Some will even hold out then, opting instead for chapped legs and snow-burnt shins! What to wear whilst running is very personal choice but OMM offers a range of Legwear to cover (get it!) a wide range of options. For fast and light racing, check out the Speed Short, a classic split short made for going fast. Or for those in-between days go for the Flash 0.75, a 3/4 length tight that will see most through winter. When snow is on the ground it is a good idea to protect your shins, the Flash 1.0 will do just that. For multi-day adventures or wearing over a legging, the versatility of the PaceLite Short is a good option too.
What about waterproofs?
You will find our waterproof Legwear both here and over on the Outer Layer Page. So if you’re looking for a full waterproof outfit to satisfy kit list needs, head over there. If you’re just looking for stuff that covers your pins, you’ll find it here.
Leg length and fit
You can find our Size Guide via the link on each product page, this includes measurement ranges for each size. You can also find our Fit Guide there too. Our performances fabrics usually work best close to the skin and we make our Legwear in a relatively close fit to reduces drag and bulk whilst moving quickly in the mountains. Our leg lengths also reflect this; often shorter than traditional hiking or streetwear, this is to keep fabric out of the way of running feet. In the case of waterproofs, it is less essential to create a seal with your footwear, as with hiking overtrousers, since you’re likely to be plunging into rivers and bogs and most running footwear isn’t waterproof. Some of our Legwear is a Unisex Fit, in which case it is often best to go down a size for Women.
Do we use Lycra?
Yes, a bit. We use Lycra in our Flash range of tights but not much. We could make them super stretchy, just like those fashionable high street leggings but we don’t for a reason. Lycra is super stretchy, which is great, but other than that it doesn’t have many other properties that a mountain runner might look for in a piece of Legwear. It is not very thermally insulating, very quick drying or wicking and can lead to quite a cool feeling against the skin; not what you want on a rain-soaked summit. So we keep the Lycra content to minimum and instead use clever panelling of the fabrics, orientating them to optimise the direction of stretch throughout the running motion; clever stuff!
