Fit

Overall fit is snug and supportive, providing consistent compression without restricting movement. The stretch properties and knitted structure of the fabric ensure the shorts sit close to the body, while the streamlined cut follows the natural contours of the legs. A secure waistband with internal drawstring, and silicone-gripped hems help prevent shifting, ride-up and bunching, maintaining a stable fit across all running intensities.

Pay attention to waist circumference and leg length to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.

Built for anything from recovery to long runs—and everything in between—these versatile compression shorts are designed for middle- and long-distance runners who demand function without compromise. Originally conceived for easy and long runs, the Prototype #004.1 shorts prove just as effective for higher-speed efforts: tempo sessions, intervals, strides, or even trail races requiring on-body storage for nutrition and hydration essentials.

Designed around two core needs—non-chafing comfort and reliable on-body storage—every element serves a purpose. The main fabric, engineered at 0.79mm, provides a balance of durability, structure, and stretch without sacrificing next-to-skin comfort. It features horizontal elastane strands encased in fine, weft-knitted yarns, creating a distinctly streamlined fit and feel.

On the inside, the soft fabric texture sits tight against the skin to reduce friction. All major seams use ISO 607 4-needle, 6-thread flatlock stitching for a smooth, low-profile finish that minimises irritation while enhancing flexibility, durability, and stretch—allowing the compression shorts to move with you, not against you.

A minimalist front-only liner supports those who prefer to run commando or pair the shorts with Harāra running underwear. No rear liner. No unnecessary bulk. Just the essentials.

Fit and comfort go a step further with a perforated waistband and internal drawstring that keep the shorts secure, no matter how hard you're pushing. Laser-cut hems with integrated silicone grippers eliminate ride-up and bunching, staying firmly in place throughout your run.

When it comes to storage, there’s plenty: two deep thigh pockets, two mesh pockets at the hips, and a wide mesh pocket with two dedicated gel slits at the rear. Space for everything you need—nutrition, hydration, essentials—right where you need it.

The Harāra Prototype #004.1 compression shorts strike the perfect balance between compression and comfort—supportive, not restrictive. No bounce. No burn. No compromise.

How to measure yourself

We recommend measuring one of your existing (elastic) trunk underwear that is comfortable and fits you well, and comparting its measurements with the size chart above.

(1) Lay Flat: Place your underpants on a hard surface and smooth out any wrinkles.

(2) Length: Measure from the waistband to the leg hem. Compare this with Dimension A in the chart above.

(3) Waistband: Measure the waistband. Compare this with Dimension B in the chart above.

(4) Leg Width: Measure the leg opening seam. Compare this with Dimension C in the chart above.

Alternatively, measure yourself and compare your measurements with our general size guide below:

(1) Hips: Measure the circumference on the level of your hip bone (greater trochanter). Keep the tape measure horizontal and snug, but not tight. Compare this measurement with the chart below.
