LOVE these shorts!!

I’ve been searching for a nice pair of 5” compression shorts that won’t ride up, and these are amazing!! Wore them for the first time today 8.5mi in the pouring rain…don’t think I could have tested them any harder than that if I’d tried, and they were incredible. Comfortable, excellent pockets, perfect amount of compression, zero chaffing, and they didn’t move an inch, even soaking wet! If you’re on the fence at all, buy them! You won’t regret it. For reference I’m 5’10”, 150lbs and the medium fit perfectly.

Favorite running shorts

I only wish they would make these in 10 different colors and I would buy them all. These are the only shorts I’ve found that actually stay in place while running. Pockets are deep and hold everything I need. No running belt required!

Comfortable, lightweight, & didn't budge!

I have been searching and searching for running tights in a 5" inseam length that have pockets, are comfortable, and won't ride up while running. Look no further, these shorts are perfect. The fabric is extremely soft and comfortable and doesn't chafe, there are useful pockets for your phone, keys, and gels, and they did not move once during a 6 mile run. My only gripe is that there aren't more colors in the 5" inseam length. Lightly compressive fit so they are snug but comfortable. The size chart is pretty accurate.

The only short I wear.

Have these in five different colors, and they’re fantastic. They fit perfectly at the waist and thighs, staying comfortably in place even during a 100k run. The pockets are perfect for holding a phone.

Please bring these back!

Purchased the 5in in black and they are the perfect length for me! Don’t ride up when running, hiking, climbing, etc. I wished I had purchased every color before they sold out, please bring them back :)

Would wear everyday if I could

As a short tight convert, this was the pair that stole me away from the likes of teeny tiny flowy shorts. These shorts got me through countless training runs and my very first marathon. They hold up in all sorts of weather conditions, have a delightful amount of storage, and are the pair I save for my weekly long runs. The gentle compression is comfortable and the matrix of grippy dots hold them firmly in place.

I fluctuate between a small and medium in running garb, settling on these in a M to accommodate my legs and using the drawstring to tighten the waist. The 7” is slightly too long for me, so I’m waiting patiently for another 5” to drop. Would recommend these to everyone!
