Women’s compression shorts and half tights are typically sold as mid thigh or shorter lengths. Janji got it right, the shorts are the perfect above the knee length, stay in place, and the pockets are great, deep enough to hold your phone or some gels. Great job Janji!
The waist band is disproportionately tight for the rest of the short but otherwise I really like this product. Fabric is comfortable without chaffing or hotspots even on the first wear. The nonslip cuff on the short is particularly secure. Lots of large pockets for phone, keys, airpods etc.
these shorts stay put exactly as they are supposed to, thus no thigh slaps or gobbles. they get a gold star in my book!
I feel like these shorts are a combination of of the 7" pace shorts and the 3.5" trail shorts. They have the multiple grippy edging to keep from riding up my thighs just like the current 7" pace shorts have, plus they also have the fun pocket functionality of the 3.5" trail shorts. If you love the design of the 3.5" trail shorts but want something with more coverage that won't ride up, then these are a winner. I have noticed that the waistband for these 9" shorts are a bit tighter than I've felt with the other Janji shorts. If you're in between sizes I'd recommend sizing up. I'm 5'5", 140 lbs, athletic build and prefer a size Medium which I also normally wear in the 7" and 3.5" shorts. I like to tighten the drawstring if I carry my water bottle in my side pocket while I run. Would highly recommend!
These are so comfy! I love how the pockets can hold so much yet things don't feel clunky when I'm running. The fabric feels really light and I think they look so flattering.
I ordered a pair as soon as I saw the email. I received them last night, and ran them this morning. They are *perfect*. Seriously well-built, and I expect as durable as my trail tights have been. The silicone grip on the thigh of the half-tight prevents any rolling (one of my main concerns), and there are more pockets than I know what to do with. They give a really secure feel, verified moisture wicking, and look cool as heck.
So happy Janji decided to make the W's version!
There was a minor imperfection in the stitching that I had to fix. It was like a small amount of fabric had gotten caught in the actual seam right at the front. I was able to cut it without issue. I love the pattern and I love the fit.
Love these, mesh pockets are amazing and length is great to prevent chaffing! Two things I wish they had were tabs on the mesh pockets and a waistband similar to the pace shorts. Otherwise, the quality of these tights is fantastic and the main reason I continue buy Janji products!
I love janji's efforts to put pockets all over the place -- I run a lot of ultras and love having multiple places to put things, as my vest often gets heavy. I like the longer inseam for more full thigh protection and they definitely stay in place! A couple of minor cons/considerations: I find these not the most flattering on my hips (but mechanically, this doesn't really matter of course). Also, the draw string does basically nothing, I'm considering pulling it out.
Overall, I continue to be super impressed and happy with janji products :)
I find the waistband to dig in just a little bit (ties untied) - might be solved by sizing up and it isn't enough to keep me from wearing them but not perfect (honestly pretty close though)
