The JOBOLT ‘Sky’ shorts take everything that works about the biker shorts in the range — thigh pockets, non-transparent fabric, high waist, no front seam — and put it in a shorter cut that’s built for warmer weather, high-intensity training, and anyone who prefers a little more freedom of movement. Black colourway, so they go with everything without a second thought.

Why a Shorter Cut?

Biker shorts are brilliant for most things, but there are sessions and situations where a shorter cut just works better. High-intensity training where you want maximum airflow. Hot summer runs where every bit of coverage feels like too much. Yoga or Pilates where you want to see your leg alignment clearly. The Sky shorts are the answer to all of those — the same reliable construction, less fabric.

The name ‘Sky’ fits. These are the shorts you wear when you want to feel light, fast, and unencumbered.

The Details

📱 Thigh Pockets That Fit Your Phone

Both thighs have a deep pocket — deep enough for a phone, not just a card. On a run or at the gym, having your phone accessible without a separate armband changes how freely you move. Keys and a card fit too, which means you can leave the bag at home.

🖤 Non-Transparent Fabric

The 80% nylon, 20% spandex blend stays opaque through every squat, lunge, and sprint. Shorter shorts make this detail even more important — and the JOBOLT Sky shorts deliver. No surprises, no adjusting, no second-guessing.

🔝 High Waist That Stays Put

The high-waisted cut accentuates the waist, elongates the legs, and stays in place during movement. No rolling down mid-run, no readjusting between sets. It also means the shorts sit securely even during the kind of dynamic movement where lower-rise shorts tend to shift.

✋ No Front Seam

No front seam means no pressure point and no chafing — particularly important in a shorter cut where the fabric sits closer to the body during high-intensity movement.

How to Wear Them

  • HIIT or circuit training — maximum airflow, thigh pockets keep your phone accessible, non-transparent fabric means you can focus entirely on the session
  • Running in warm weather — lighter and cooler than biker shorts for summer runs. The shorter cut reduces heat build-up without sacrificing pocket space
  • Yoga or Pilates — the shorter length lets you see your leg alignment clearly during poses and stretches, which makes a genuine difference to form
  • Casual summer wear — black shorts with an oversized white tee or linen shirt. Simple, clean, and works anywhere
  • Gym to street — throw a hoodie or oversized jacket over the top and these transition from gym to errands without looking like you’re still in your workout clothes
