Brief liner

I have 4 pair,2 pair I cut out brief liner 2 I kept in,I can go either with my own special underwear or with the brief liner,I prefer my own boxer briefs and not regular briefs,and you can't see my boxer briefs that are 5in so that is nice,I would like to see these made with no liner,I have 2 pair of the ultra also but I dont like and yes they don't fit the same as the afo middle short,which the afo med fit perfect,I am 5 10 and 155 ,

Go-to shorts for hottest days

I have usually trained in the fall and winter, but these shorts have been incredible for the hottest summer days. Across brands model, the only shorts I want to wear on days above 90F.

I own several pairs - prefer the darker ones because the lighter-colored ones can show strong sweat patterns between the legs

Only shorts I use.

I found Janji a few years ago, and could not more highly recommend them. The AFO 5” are my go to shorts for every distance and wouldn’t switch to anything else. Great company with great products

Awesome shorts!

The zippered pocket in the back is amazing and my Huma gels didn't bounce around like they do in other shorts. Will be buying more for the long hot runs in the Florida sun this triathlon season!

Fantastic Short

As someone with a #thicc butt and legs running shorts are always tough to find. But these are fantastic! Probably buying another pair or two
