Men's 5" Fuel n' Fly — storage-first training short with liner for long runs when gels and a phone need to ride on-body; hotter than splits, smarter than empty race shorts for marathon blocks. I'd shortlist it for fuel-focused pocket layout for long-run nutrition. The trade-off is storage panels add a little bulk vs pure racing shorts — Brooks Sherpa 7" 2-in-1 Short (Men) is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a running apparel, not a one-product rotation.
