KETL Shorts: Differences Between Virtue, Vent, Shenanigan, Alpine Dip, Blackwood & Skid Mark

We believe great gear starts with thoughtful design. That’s why each of our six shorts is tailored for a specific adventure. Thoughtfully engineered with the features, fabrics, and fit to flourish in its intended environment. Here’s a quick look at our lineup:

Virtue Hybrid Shorts

Our go-to for anywhere. From mountain trails to beach cliffs. 4-way stretchy, quick-dry fabric, packable design, and TSA-friendly zipper pockets mean you’re ready for anything.

Vent Lightweight Active Shorts

Constructed for weightlessness and airflow. Breeze-through summer hikes or hot-weather runs with breathable max-airflow knit, a drawstring waist, and a mobility-enhancing gusset.

Shenanigan Outdoor Shorts

Rugged, quiet, and ready for serious travel or trail time. A stretchy nylon twill material with a built-in belt and utility loops give you both function and comfort.

Alpine Dip‑N‑More Boardshorts

Perfect for alpine lake dips or bark-side hangs. Fast-drying and stretchy, they combine swim-ready performance with outdoor flexibility because water-loving adventures don’t stop at the trail’s edge.

Blackwood Trail Run Shorts

Featherlight and focused, these shorts were born for pace. Sweat-wicking stretch fabric, rear phone pocket, and gel stash pockets keep you moving distraction-free mile after mile.

Skid Mark MTB Shorts

Built for the rigors of mountain biking. Durable stretch fabric, bike-specific rise and cut, four zip pockets, and ventilated design make them an on-saddle essential.

Each pair isn’t just tossed together. They’re the result of meticulous, purpose-driven design: fabric, fit, and function chosen to excel in their intended use case. Below, dive deeper into the features that make each short its own versatile adventure companion.
