My new go-to running shorts

Ran 15 miles right after receiving these shorts and absolutely love them. They are super comfortable. The 2 side pockets held my phone, 2 gels and a small water flask without any issues. The silicon grips prevented the Shiites from riding up.
Highly recommend these shorts.

Janji shorts continue to deliver

I've worn Janji shorts/leggings almost exclusively for running in the past few years and these are another great pair. The pockets are noticeably smaller than the 7" but they still hold my small phone fine, and the shorter cut is preferable sometimes! I'll be interested to see how they hold up over time, as my 7" shorts stretch out after ~6 months of wearing 3-6x/week and washing 1x/week.

Best running shorts of all time

These are legitimately the best running shorts of all time. I've tried every brand you can think of. These work (don't ride up and provide coverage) AND are cute because of their shorter length. I have three pairs so far, please please PLEASE release more colors and patterns.

love!

I love these shorts. They move with me and the grips on the bottom are snug but not too tight or uncomfy. The pockets are steady and can hold a good amount without bouncing. Love!

Great Shorts!

Every year I buy a new pair of shorts with pockets to wear while marathon training. This year, I picked these shorts! The pockets keep my phone snug as I run. The shorts stay put and don’t move around, so chaffing shouldn’t be an issue! The material is on the thinner side, so it will be great for warm summer training sessions. Overall, this is a great product!

Best shorts

Great packet sizing and accessibility and the grips on the leg keep the shorts in place and from moving while you run
