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!
Fantastic quality, don’t ride up, lots of pockets. There is a good reason these are always sold out. Best 5inch option out there. Trust the size chart.
I LOVE THESE SHORTS. I have the black ones and I'm (impatiently) waiting for these to be released again so I can buy all of the colors. I am obsessed. They fit so well, stay put and feel so light on my runs!
Absolutely LOVE these shorts. I’ve run (trail and road), and hiked in one pair consistently all summer, and they are hands down, the perfect shorts. The pockets fit just about whatever you may need, don’t run up or cause chafing, and are short enough that I have a reasonable tan line.
Please release more so I can buy another and alternate colors, please!
I had previously bought and worn the 7" and loved them except for one thing: I'm super short (5'1") and they made my legs look like stubby little Vienna sausages. Not the shorts' fault, but still. But now, behold: the 5" are absolutely perfect. The second I put them on, I knew; I was so confident, I even wore them for the very first time to a BAA race, because I just knew they'd work great. Ever since, I wear them for running, hiking, running around with my kids, etc. I LOVE them.
I bought these for the extra pockets. Love the deep side pockets for extra phone protection. Very comfortable waistband. Moisture wicking.
Can't wait for the next release of these. Somehow just feel like that much lighter than the 7in.
These are my all time favorite pair of shorts. They are the perfect length and stay in place no matter how many miles I run in them. Thanks for putting out such an awesome product!
These are so comfortable. The inseam is the perfect length for me: not too short but not terribly long. The grips keep them staying put, and they aren’t very heavy material at all. Light but not see through. Perfect for a long summer run!
My Favorite running shorts. Don't ride up. In the coastal color they do show some sweat . Fit true to sizing.
