Get clear answers on sizing, liner, pockets, and the V-notch cut of the BOA 3.75" Slasher V-Notch Shorts before you buy a pair for training or everyday runs.

Sizing and fit questions

What sizes does the Slasher V-Notch come in?
The BOA 3.75" Slasher V-Notch Short is offered in sizes S, M, L, XL, and 2XL. Not every colorway carries the full size range in the supplied catalog: Black and Checkers list S through 2XL, while Military lists S through M. Check the available variants for your preferred color before ordering.
How should I choose my size?
The supplied product record does not include a size chart, waist measurements, or fit notes beyond the available sizes. Use your usual BOA short size as a starting point, and if you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit for training, consider sizing up. Because the catalog does not confirm garment measurements, avoid guessing based on the 3.75" inseam alone.
What does the V-notch do for fit?
The V-notch is a cut detail at the side of the short that can add room for leg movement. The supplied information does not describe how deep the notch is or how it changes the fit compared with other BOA shorts, so treat it as a comfort feature rather than a sizing guide. If you have worn other BOA running shorts, start with the same size.
Is the 3.75" inseam short enough for speed work?
The 3.75" inseam is a shorter cut than many everyday training shorts, which can suit runners who want less fabric around the thigh. The catalog does not rate the short for specific activities or distances, so choose it based on your own comfort with shorter inseams rather than a performance claim.

Liner, pockets, and daily use

Does the Slasher V-Notch have a liner?
Yes. The supplied record lists a ventilated copper-infused anti-microbial liner. That means the short is designed to be worn without separate underwear for many runners, and the liner is described as ventilated and anti-microbial. The catalog does not provide care instructions for the liner, so follow the care label on the garment when it arrives.
What pockets are included?
The short has comfortable side pockets and a zippered key or card pocket. The side pockets are described as comfortable, but the catalog does not state their depth or whether they are secure for a phone. Use the zippered pocket for keys or a card, and test the side pockets with your own items before relying on them for a phone during a run.
Can I wear these shorts off the track?
BOA describes the Slasher V-Notch as a versatile short for on and off the track. The side pockets and casual cut support that use, but the catalog does not specify fabric weight or stretch, so judge off-track suitability by your own preference for a short with a liner and a shorter inseam.
Which colors are available?
The supplied variants list Black, Checkers, and Military colorways. Black and Checkers appear in S through 2XL, while Military is listed in S through M. If you need a specific color and size, confirm the combination exists in the variant list before ordering.

Buying and care questions

What should I check before ordering?
Confirm three things: the color and size combination you want is listed in the variants, you are comfortable with a 3.75" inseam and a built-in liner, and you have a use for both the side pockets and the zippered key or card pocket. The catalog does not include a size chart or fabric details, so if fit is critical, start with a size you already know works in BOA shorts.
How should I care for the shorts?
The supplied product record does not include care instructions. Check the care label sewn into the garment for washing and drying guidance, and follow it rather than guessing based on the liner or fabric description.
