When it comes to vacation, everyone needs time to get away. I know for myself, I always pack way too many clothes and items, only to end up wearing the same three things over and over again. The V2 Pants are designed for exactly that kind of trip.
With the pocket fabric sewn to the full leg length and featuring 20–40% vertical stretch, it adds more flexibility for squatting and everyday activities.
Today we planted trees to help offset our carbon emissions and continue building Northrune with better practices in mind. It’s one small step in creating products with a lower impact.

The Northrune Shorts feature a forward-positioned pocket design that improves hip mobility and overall comfort. The updated construction allows for greater stretch while creating a more natural, accessible pocket opening than traditional side-seam pockets.
Inner Pocket Fabric Update
Updated inner pocket fabric for Northrune pants to a more structured feel while keeping the same black color. New fabric is higher quality and reduces wrinkling after washing and drying.
We just donated $100 to the Arbor Day Foundation to help plant trees and offset our emissions.
With 5 pockets, double-knee fabric, and a comfortable cut, the Northrune Pant is perfect for traveling.
Back Pocket Upgrade
Back pocket sewing process updated to occur before removing extra slack in the pocket. Originally, there wasn’t much slack, but this change improves durability. Each pocket is now sewn before attaching the legs, with the left and right legs sewn together for added strength.

This collection introduces all-season pants—lounge, athletic, utility, and everyday—for both men and women, in natural colors, along with a range of accessories like graphic beanies and unique tops, including graphic tees. This is the biggest collection we’ve ever launched, built from customer feedback, and it will serve as the foundation of Northrune—our Core Collection.
The Northrune Women’s Shorts are completely made by us in Minnesota. From sewing to overlocking, every step is handled in-house—period.
These are mid-low rise shorts with a 3-inch inseam and an elastic waistband sewn directly into the base fabric to prevent any unwanted bunching. A cotton drawstring keeps the fit adjustable, and the Northrune patch on the left leg is durable and long-lasting—far sturdier than vinyl.
The fabric is a double-knit material taken from our original best-selling Northrune pant. Inside, it’s silky smooth against the skin, and outside, it has a durable, everyday-ready feel. The fabric is also wrinkle-resistant and handles sweat and daily wear effortlessly. Our signature evergreen stitching lines the interior, a small detail that marks these shorts as authentically Northrune.
We designed these shorts with cut and fit in mind. They’re flattering, comfortable, and allow full movement. It wasn’t easy—we went through 12–15 prototypes, learning from each one, before landing on this final version.
The result is a short that’s practical, durable, and made to move with you—whether you’re out on an adventure or just lounging at home.
