Trail half tight

I've trained for, and raced my last 3 100 milers in Janji half tights. They're super comfortable, have light compression, and carry my phone + piles of nutrition without bounce. I will continue buying them.

I do wish they were a touch more durable. I find the stitching on the inside of the legs wears out and the material separates. It's not a failure in the material, but the stitches themselves breakdown from the friction. Could they be moved to the outside where there's no rubbing?

these tights are tight, yo

185lbs | muscular but not single, no-kids muscular | size L fits appropriately tight but have to be careful putting them on not to snag seams

my heart eyes:
1) love all the pockets. I can carry soft flasks in the side pockets AND plenty of space left for gels/phone/keys/hat/headlamp/etc.
2) love the loop pocket in the back where I can stow my shirt. i run to the office every day but i refuse to run with a shirt on so this pocket is life-changing for me. i wish ALL my running shorts had this feature
3) keep my wedding ring in the internal pocket up front during summer runs when my digits swell.
4) i'm not a pure runner (aka i lift heavy and my legs are not tiny); these still fit great & keep my thighs from chaffing
5) fit is pretty sweet once they're on. the legs don't ride up, the drawstring works well, pockets keep contents secure (virtually zero bounce).

my ridiculously nit-picky gripes:
1) the internal seam under the gooch does bother me on my long runs. 20mi run = almost broken skin from rubbing on the stitching down there, not annoying whilst running but very un-fun afterwards... the fit around the crotch isn't ideal for my geo. it's a little saggy, could take up a few cm's and have better compression/less rubbing on the jewels
2) material doesn't handle B.O. well at all. granted, i'm a pretty sweaty guy + NEVER run with underwear ...but out of all my running shorts, these smell foulest after the sesh is done by a country mile. like going to a coffee shop after my runs is a no-go in these because the stank will absolutely offend myself and everyone within ten feet of me

overall, these are A++ tights. In general I think I prefer a more compressive short & softer textile like the rabbit half tights, but that's just personal preference. these are probably the best half tights on the market especially for those that don't like super tight compression. if you can get them on sale, buy 2. no brainer!

Be seen!

Love my reflective half tights! Makes me feel safe running at night knowing there's NO WAY a car won't be able to spot me. The reflective parts work so well!

These are great!

I didn't know how I would like running in these, but I was very surprised how good they feel. I can carry two 500ml water bottles, gels, phone, TP and still have room. These have eliminated the need to wear a vest or use a handheld water bottle. I ended up buying two more pair and plan on ordering more in the near future.

Nice tights

Good fit and seems to be made of sturdy but not too uncomfortable material. Lots of pockets. So much pocket space, not sure what to do with all of it, maybe leave my running vest at home on those shorter runs/hikes.

Changed the game

Love running in these. Fit perfectly — not too tight at the waist that they leave marks, but not too lose that they ever start to fall. Can easily hold my phone, earbuds case, and car keys. Probably a ton more if I tried. Love the way they feel and look!

The best and only

Simply the best compression shorts, pockets for everything. Large back pocket big enough for an iPhone pro max with case. Internal key pockets. Solid tightness actually feels like it’s compressing muscles unlike cheaper fabrics. Side pockets can hold 2x 90g’s if needed. Even put my spi bottle in one for longer runs. These do it all.

THE BEST

I've tried other compression shorts and these are, by far, the best. They're soft and do the job incredibly well. I don't always were unlined shorts over them; no need. I'm 5'10", 173 lbs. 33/34 waist

Hope they make a quarter version

Great shorts, I don’t like a ton of compression and the L fits just right at 5’7” 190. I hope they start making a quarter tight version for some more tight freedom.
