This is my first time using half tights instead of shorts and I'm 100% converted! These tights not only carry more than my shorts did, but they carry the gels and soft flask more securely. I can carry enough nutrition and hydration to get in my 22mi/35km runs without needing to get back home. As long as there is a water fountain or two available I'm golden. The number of pockets are plentiful and easy to access. There are so many pockets that after about ten runs I JUST found one in the front waistline to carry extra packets of electrolyte powder/capsules. Yahtzee!
These are my favorite shorts that I own. Endless pockets, comfortable material and fits almost perfect for me. The team at Janji allowed me to exchange the sizes not once, not twice but three times to get the exact fit correct. I hope to purchase more items from Janji in the future.
These are my go-to shorts for all activities - from training to race day. They’re flattering, comfortable, have seemingly endless storage options, and make you run faster! Ok, the last part isn’t quite accurate but I did set a PB in the half-marathon while wearing these shorts. Also, if you have naturally thick legs like me, these are your best friend.
Got a pair earlier this training season based on reviews and looking for a storage option without a belt or pack. That’s shorts fit the bill and continue to exceed expectations. Love them and share about them with every runner who asks.
Join the revolution! Don't let vanity keep you from discovering what women have known for years. Throw away your glide and squirrel nut butter because chafing will be a thing of the past. No more soggy sweaty shorts because the moisture wicks away like a second skin. They keep your muscles warm on chilly days and help keep the cool draft away from your business. With that said, Janji half and full tights are the best in show. The storage situation is unmatched and the colors and artist designs keep you seen by drivers and assure you are the talk of your town. Don't miss out.
Love the fit and feel. I go commando in these. For distances over 10 miles I use a bit of body glide on the family jewels. No other modifications needed. Plenty of storage for phone, car fob and fuel.
The 8" Trail Half Tight are awesome. I almost always carry water on the trail. None of my other running shorts or tights are good for this, except the UD half tights in which you can carry a couple of half size hard flasks - also a good choice - meaning I would have to carry a waist belt, naked belt, or vest no matter the distance or refill options. This Janji tight is super comfy and let's me carry 1 or 2 soft flasks (I use Salomon flasks from my vest which work great in the side pockets), depending on if its hot or if I have access to water along the route. There are 4 side pockets. I generally stuff a flask in one on one side, and put my phone and gels on the other side - no bounce, rubbing, or issues. My acid test was I didn't even feel items in the pockets after the first 1/2 mile making for a free feeling run while still carrying my essentials. There is a back slide thru pocket for a shirt or rain jacket, or as I've used it, for a 2nd empty flask with Heed or Roctane powder ready to reload where I have access to water.
The only thing I don't understand are two small pockets inside the tights near the groin. Would love to hear what those are used for???
All in all, I will be buying a few more of these as they have quickly replaced most of my other random running shorts for runs where I can now avoid a bulky or slightly unformfortable waist pack, and don't need a full vest storage capacity. (Why not a vest? I love mine, but feel more free and unconstrained now that I can run without one except on long runs or where lack of refilling options necessitate it).
I ran a full-course marathon and it was so good because Iof a lot of pockets.
Used in my most recent marathon, helped me hit a new PR.
Stored 6 gels easily, and stuck my phone in the pocket with no jostling.
Great fit. No sagging even with stuffed pockets. I wouldn't change anything about them. I wish they didn't sell out so fast. I'd like more prints!
