I agree with the guy below, the drawstring is bad (I wish it was similar to the trail tight drawstring). But that complaint is minor in the grand scheme of things considering what these offer. These liners are my go-to for any run at any distance. They are very similar to the trail tights, albeit much cheaper, and I actually prefer them for 90% of my runs. The trail tight is my favorite piece of running gear from any company, and I'd wear them for a race just due to the pocket options. But these are a super close 2nd, and I grab them over the trail tights for most outings. The side pockets are deep and awesome, and hold a substantial sized phone just like the trail tights without movement, granted you get a size that fits. Plus the front is thicker, so less of your business shows to any public onlookers.
