Best half tights in the game

When you go long put these on. Ability to hold a 500ml full soft flask in the mesh side pocket with no bounce or chafing completely comfortably + other storage and innovative back pocket design allowing you to store stuff, access it easily and hang a shirt through one side and out the other is awesome. Tiny knock for them not being the most comfy/ plush but that’s being super nit picky. 9.5/10

Best on the market

I’m 6’ tall and weigh 165 lbs with a 31” waist. These are my go to for long distance trail running. The main reason is the pockets. There are so many pockets. With these on I don’t have to wear a vest to carry all my stuff. I can stick a water bottle on the right side and a sub sandwich on the left and still have room for electrolytes, phone, rag, sweet treats, blocks and many more. If you’re a dude and haven’t experienced all the pockets on your tights you should totally try them. Also, they are double layered in the front so, if it’s hot and you go commando, you can’t see all the details. If you know what I mean. In colder weather I definitely wear an extra layer under.

These are great

These are my first half tights.

Fit - Love it, I'm 130lb/59kg and 5'9/175cm took S
I wish they added weight in the review template, was afraid they will be too tight as the fit guide waist measurement vs other body parts is a bit smaller compared to other brands.

Pockets - amazing, first time I can run with my phone and zero bounce.
I Would have the back pocket openings a bit larger to fit 250ml soft flask or have it easily accessible (could not fit mine)
Would also trade the internal pockets i'm not sure what to use for with more external waist quick access pockets for gels.
But these changes are not really necessary as the side pockets can fit *a ton*.

Quality - Overall very good, only thing I didn't love was the seams, they look sturdy but a bit fuzzy, and there were some loose threads to trim.
But in case I have a problem, the warranty really is long.

Convert from Shorts

Friends have told me they prefer half tights over shorts and now I agree. These Janji half tights are awesome! The pockets keep phone, nutrition, etc. in check during long runs. The light compression is a plus too. I’ll buy another pair.

The perfect marathon half tights. No chaffing whatsoever. So many great pockets that keep things from bouncing, and space for at least 8 gels plus a phone and my inhaler.

New PR in these last week!

Still Finding Hidden Pockets Everywhere!

This is my first time using half tights instead of shorts and I'm 100% converted! These tights not only carry more than my shorts did, but they carry the gels and soft flask more securely. I can carry enough nutrition and hydration to get in my 22mi/35km runs without needing to get back home. As long as there is a water fountain or two available I'm golden. The number of pockets are plentiful and easy to access. There are so many pockets that after about ten runs I JUST found one in the front waistline to carry extra packets of electrolyte powder/capsules. Yahtzee!

8 inch Half tights

These are my favorite shorts that I own. Endless pockets, comfortable material and fits almost perfect for me. The team at Janji allowed me to exchange the sizes not once, not twice but three times to get the exact fit correct. I hope to purchase more items from Janji in the future.

Best running shorts ever!

These are my go-to shorts for all activities - from training to race day. They’re flattering, comfortable, have seemingly endless storage options, and make you run faster! Ok, the last part isn’t quite accurate but I did set a PB in the half-marathon while wearing these shorts. Also, if you have naturally thick legs like me, these are your best friend.

Second Pair!

Got a pair earlier this training season based on reviews and looking for a storage option without a belt or pack. That’s shorts fit the bill and continue to exceed expectations. Love them and share about them with every runner who asks.
