Sustainability

Groundwork Knit is made using a premium grade nylon that has a significantly tighter woven filament than standard synthetics. Tighter filaments mean less microfiber shedding in the wash-cycle, plus greater durability of the garment (longer lifespan, more wearing).

Groundwork Knit fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

Awesome running shorts!

These are the best shorts ever for running. Never ride up, stay in place, great pockets. Super well designed!

Product is great. Only thing I would change is the draw strings being on the outside instead.

So far these shorts have been great. I spent 9 hours in them pacing a friend in a 100 miler and they were comfortable and I had no chafing 😊. The pockets are great, so deep I can put a 15oz soft flask in one.

Awesome

Supper comfortable and great storage. They dont roll up on your legs or fall down off your waste. I wore them for an entire triathlon and they where perfect. Will be ordering another pair!

My new favorite shorts!

I got these to train for my first ultra. They have become my favorite shorts as they are one of the few that don't chafe me! I also love the side pockets.

Favorite shorts ever

I have thicc (tm) thighs that tend to eat every pair of shorts I throw on. These don’t budge or chafe and I don’t have to fix them during my run. I have several pairs and just ordered 2 more because it’s the only thing I want to wear.

Favorite running shorts

The title is the review. These are my favorite shorts for running.

I never have to think about them on a run -- the legs stay don't roll up, the waist doesn't fall down, the pockets keep everything in place. The mid-rise waist makes it comfortable to wear with a shirt (it doesn't feel like you have a bunch of extra fabric) or just a sports bra.

My only desire is a 5-inch inseam with all the fun patterns!

Just what I was looking for!

I needed running shorts that would protect my thighs from chaffing during thru hikes. These shorts don’t ride up, stay put, and feel very comfortable! Janji doesn’t disappoint.
