Aiguille
$44.99 $59.99
Some runs want simplicity. No tugging waistbands. No flapping fabric. No second-guessing coverage when the trail steepens or the wind picks up. The Aiguille Running Skort is built for those days—when you want to move freely, stay cool, and forget what you’re wearing.
It combines the airy feel of a running skirt with the confidence of supportive inner shorts, giving you comfort and coverage without compromise.
Features that make Aiguille work
-
2-in-1 skort design – Lightweight outer skirt with integrated stretch inner shorts
-
Breathable, quick-dry fabric – Helps regulate temperature on warm or high-effort runs
-
Secure pocketing – Carry essentials without bounce
-
Comfort-first waistband – Stays put without digging in
Performance on the Trail
The outer skirt is cut for airflow and freedom, reducing cling and keeping things cool when the pace or temperature rises. Underneath, the inner shorts provide gentle support and coverage, so you can move confidently over technical ground, through overgrown paths, or into café stops without a second thought.
This is a skort designed for real running—steady miles, hill repeats, and long days linking trails—rather than something that just looks sporty on a hanger. The fabrics are lightweight and fast-drying, making it ideal for summer running, shoulder-season training, and travel where you want one piece to do more.
What Customers Are Saying
“Wore these in Patagonia. Love how they look, very light, fold up small and look good even when they have been in a bag for days.There is an excellent back pocket with a zip which is very secure and easily will fit your passport. The zip on the pocket would make it difficult for someone to pick-pocket. "
