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.

Best Short

I love these I have the 5" and 7" and they are the best - great deep pockets and the grip makes it so they don't ride up at all - training for my first Marathon and will definitely be wearing these race day!

GOAT marathon shorts

I have a problem. I can no longer run longer than 6 miles unless I’m in the 7” Pace short. The deep pockets for gels/soft flask/phone and the LEGENDARY silicon grippers, these are the best. I’m 5’7” and all my height is in my legs, with thicc thighs, medium is perfect. I have a pair of the 5” also and they’re cute but more prone to ride up due to where they hit on my leg. Now have 3 pairs and #cantstopwontstop

Amazing fit and feel!

Janji 7-inch Pace shorts offer highly breathable, soft, and comfortable form-fitting wear that stays put with the SiliDot Grippers, keeping these smooth on one's legs.
I went for a size M to have less compression.

Love the 7” shorts

These shorts are very comfortable! Great deep side pockets and they do not ride up! Love them for trail running!

My new favorite running shorts

I know, I know, Janji calls them half-tights. I call them shorts, and I love them. I've lost more pounds than I weigh now. Which means I have a LOT of extra skin. These shorts are just right for keeping me cool and stopping the wild jiggle that's not always comfortable our there. Not a moment of regret. Highly recommend!

Very impressive

I have been wearing these shorts for a couple of years now, but today they impressed me so much I had to come write a review. I showed up for my long run and forgot my belt that carries my 2, 10 oz bottles. You cannot run without water in the Texas heat so I stufffed them in the pockets. I looked like an Oompa-loompa because I had my waters, my phone, my car key and my gels all in the front 2 pockets of these shorts AND THEY STAYED UP THE WHOLE TIME - even when they were drenched in sweat. I don't think there is a short out there that can carry that much stuff and stay up. Well done, Janji!

The Most Comfortable Shorts!

These are seriously game changing! Wear them for long runs in Texas heat with absolutely no chafing!

For me, I enjoy these for my trails runs. Great length, lightweight and the legs dont ride up.
