Chance is a Spain-based running brand with a tight local supply chain of designers, pattern-makers, and seamstresses producing everything in Portugal at Petratex, one of the more technically capable garment factories in sports apparel. The Marathon Short v.2 is their training and racing short.
The shell is a 5" fully woven 4-way stretch fabric from Payen, a French technical textile manufacturer. The distinction between woven and knit matters here: woven construction is more abrasion-resistant and holds its shape differently than a standard stretch jersey, while still moving with you. It's light, fast-drying, and rated UPF50. The brief liner uses hosiery-grade seaming, which sits flatter against the skin than conventional stitching and is the main reason the short works for long efforts without chafe issues.
The BounceLess storage system sits in the waistband and has been revised for v.2: deeper rear pocket, tighter mesh construction to reduce movement, and pull tabs for easier access mid-effort. Fits a phone, gels, keys, and a flask without much issue.
Unisex fit. Manufactured ethically in Portugal.
