Pockets for days, super comfy. Only issue is, the waist is oddly tight and with very little give compared to the rest of the legging/short.
I bought these just to try…not that I thought they were going to be bad…I just didn’t realize how incredibly perfect they were going to be. The fit is perfect. I am short and have shape so I was worried that they would be too tight or run up in places…nope! These are hands down my favorite pair of running shorts ever. They fit amazing…snug but not too tight. They don’t slip around…they are just amazing. I am now a Janji convert and will hopefully own more of these in the future as my budget allows.
Thank you for making an awesome product and for using models with shape!

I own 5”, 7”, and now 9” janji tights and the 9” trail half tight might be my favorite. Size note: I’ve always been a medium in everything Janji, but I am a small in the 9” trail half tights and they fit just like my medium 7” and 5”. The 9” medium had way too much fabric in the front of my waist and on the hips. I’m 5’8”, 150. The 9” tights (sized down) stay in place even with things in the pockets. Super comfy, lots of pockets, grips are perfect, highly recommend for longer runs.

I love these and the prints! The waist is definitely tighter than the pace, but stay put and is my normal size. 5’6”/ 140#
These fit me so well. I love the banded legs as they don’t move. And the pockets are great.
Women’s compression shorts and half tights are typically sold as mid thigh or shorter lengths. Janji got it right, the shorts are the perfect above the knee length, stay in place, and the pockets are great, deep enough to hold your phone or some gels. Great job Janji!
The waist band is disproportionately tight for the rest of the short but otherwise I really like this product. Fabric is comfortable without chaffing or hotspots even on the first wear. The nonslip cuff on the short is particularly secure. Lots of large pockets for phone, keys, airpods etc.
these shorts stay put exactly as they are supposed to, thus no thigh slaps or gobbles. they get a gold star in my book!
I feel like these shorts are a combination of of the 7" pace shorts and the 3.5" trail shorts. They have the multiple grippy edging to keep from riding up my thighs just like the current 7" pace shorts have, plus they also have the fun pocket functionality of the 3.5" trail shorts. If you love the design of the 3.5" trail shorts but want something with more coverage that won't ride up, then these are a winner. I have noticed that the waistband for these 9" shorts are a bit tighter than I've felt with the other Janji shorts. If you're in between sizes I'd recommend sizing up. I'm 5'5", 140 lbs, athletic build and prefer a size Medium which I also normally wear in the 7" and 3.5" shorts. I like to tighten the drawstring if I carry my water bottle in my side pocket while I run. Would highly recommend!
