My nephews first half marathon

I bought these shorts for my nephew— his first half marathon. He loved them, ran great, and will definitely be ordering again.

20 mil views while wearing these shorts

I have a unique skeletal dysplasia that has my torso being much too long for my legs. One benefit to that is it makes my quads look as if I could squat this country out of the two party system we are stuck in and maybe bring everyone a little closer together. Thanks to Janji making the AFO middle short in an XS, my quads look even more huge. Couple of holiday hams attached to me.

Go to hot weather running shorts

These feather-weight shirts are perfect for hot weather exercise. Minimal pockets and thin lining make it my go to when I want my kit to feel super fast.

I’m normally a L but glad I got the XL (5’1” waist 34 and abou 187lbs) otherwise my belly would be uncomfortable. XL gives me what I need and looks great! Recommended!!

Great Lightweight Shorts

Tried these out immediately before a race and quickly knew it was one of my favorites. Wore them for a 100k in 95 degree heat at altitude and find they stayed dry and cool. They were very comfortable climbing steep terrain. Great shorts!

Lightweight & comfortable. Does not support the weight or size of my iphone16. Internal key pocket should be deeper to secure key. Wish there were a few nutrition pockets

Hard to say

I absolutley love the Janji shorts I've been running in for the last several years (early adopter.) I cannot tell you what I think about my new gear since it has not arrived. I don't know what the problem is, but the lack of communication as to why is kind of a bummer/

Very light and breathable. Helps keep you cool on hot days. The back pocket is big enough for a phone with a case and the front key pocket has a clip to keep your key secured.

solid shorts with a great fit

Overall, these are solid shorts with a great fit and comfort. They’ve gotten too expensive for my budget, and the back pocket zipper durability could be improved, as could stink resistance, but Janji does a great job of standing behind their products with a 5 year guarantee. If you have an issue, reach out to them. These aren’t cheap shorts and that guarantee seems to be part of what we’re paying for…. So use it.

Great Shorts

Super lightweight and breathable. Doesn’t ride up in the inner thigh and the back pocket is large enough for essentials. The liner is also comfortable, but could be a bit tighter (personal preference). Will be my hot summer day go to for mid miles

Mid

Decent shorts but they developed a stink quite easily and then the zipper on the phone pocket totally fell apart, leaving me with a permanently open pocket. I've enjoyed Janji shorts over the years, half tights especially, but the 5" AFO is a quite mid for these prices we now see. They are good shorts for $45 or less, but $72? Sorry, Janji, you're overestimating yourself. Stop living in a Satisfy world, no one is here for it.
