■ "10-pocket structure" that exceeds the concept of shorts

The greatest feature of the Everywhere Short is its high storage capacity due to the calculated 10-pocket structure.

It can efficiently store not only everyday essentials like smartphones, wallets, and keys, but also small items needed on the road.

By focusing not just on the number, but on "ease of taking out" and "placement that doesn't hinder movement," it realizes a natural wearing feel that makes you forget you are storing things.

The freedom to act without carrying a bag is the very essence of these shorts.

■ "Mobility" that does not hinder movement

With lightweight 4-way stretch fabric and three-dimensional pattern design, it smoothly accommodates all movements such as squatting, walking, and moving.

Furthermore, by adopting a gusset crotch structure, it expands the range of motion while providing a stress-free wearing feel.

It's not just "ease of movement," but a design that makes you "want to move." That is the mobility the Everywhere Short possesses.

■ "Technology material" incorporated by 686

The Everywhere Short utilizes highly functional materials that enable the coexistence of everyday life and active scenes.
The lightweight and supple 4-way stretch material realizes the comfort of moving freely while also combining high durability.
Furthermore, the excellent breathability and quick-drying properties from the breathable design quickly handle sweat and moisture. It maintains a dry and comfortable state even with prolonged wear.
The incorporation of performance required for outdoor gear while being everyday wear is precisely the integration of technology typical of 686.

■ Practical performance that makes summer comfortable

The material, which combines breathability and lightness, maintains a comfortable wearing feel even in midsummer.

It is designed so that you are less likely to feel stress even in sweaty scenes or on days with a lot of movement, and you can continue to use it in the same way in the city or at your travel destination.

These shorts possess the performance that supports not just being "cool," but "the comfort of continuing to act."

■ Earnestly designing "wearable anywhere"

What the Everywhere series aims for is the thoroughness of the "wearable anywhere" concept.

In order to cover different environments such as the city, travel, and the outdoors with a single item, it fuses function, design, and material all at a high level.

The Everywhere Short is one of the products that most symbolizes that philosophy.

Shorts into "gear you carry around."

The Everywhere Short will change the movement and action in everyday life into something freer and more comfortable.
