W's 4" Trail Short

Great short with lots of deep pockets and options for storage

W's 4" Trail Short

recently ran a 50 miler in these shorts. will never ever ever wear anything but these shorts again. seriously you need these if you’re a runner! i’m 5’1 and have thick muscular thighs and theses stayed perfect with no sliding!

Love the pockets!!!!

Shorts were comfortable, stayed in place and provide plenty of room for hydration and carbs, as well as a carabiner to hold my keys. Would highly recommend. Went by the size recommended on the website.

Checks all the boxes for an amazing trail running short not only on the trail but during those end of trail mountain scrambles as well!

I ran all winter in the longer trail tights. I loved them so much that I had to have the shorts version too. These shorts are so light and so comfortable! The band around the leg is tight enough to keep them in place, but not so tight that it's uncomfortable. I really like the pockets because they hold my iphone without bouncing. I do have to take my phone out of my wallet case in the shorts to keep it from bouncing too much (in the pants it was fine in the case), but it's a small price to pay. I can put something in all four pockets and everything stays put and comfortable. It's worth noting I've only run up to 7 miles at a time in these, so I can't speak to how comfortable they stay for longer runs. For context, I'm 5'3", 117 lbs. I wear a small in the long tights and got a small in these and it was perfect.

I'm a road runner, this short perfect for long distance runs. The new version with key clip are the best, these are the lightest ones out there. No riding up, stay put short. Thank you!!!

I tried the previous version of the Trail Short (the 3.5") in a Size Small and returned them because they immediately rolled up into my crotch. I decided to give the updated 4" version a try and was pleasantly surprised that the fit had improved. I will say that the leg openings definitely still creep up while running, when I am running faster (7:00 pace) they definitely end up with in an inch of my bikini line, just at the top of my inner thigh pooch, but they don't roll at least, and to be honest, I find them comfortable sitting there, since the laser cut seems don't irritate anything. I do wish they didn't ride up quite so much, I think the leg openings could be tighter to help them stay down and grip. I have pretty large, muscular thighs and still think they could be tighter. Overall, I think if you are fine with the shorts sitting higher on your leg, these are still very comfortable and the pocket layout is too great to pass up.

I also think Janji needs to update their size charts. I am solidly an XS according to their size chart - I have a 26 inch waist and 36 inch hips, 5'7" and 130 lb - but I have always worn a Small in all Janji shorts. I ordered these in both an XS and a Small and while I liked the tighter leg openings on the XS, the waist band was too tight. I kept the Small. I wish I could have the XS size leg openings on the Small to give them more grip.

UPDATE after running a marathon in them: I loved these shorts, they are my new marathon race shorts. Didn't even notice them at all during the race, no adjusting or pulling up or down or anything! And perfect for carrying all of my gels and phone and id and hotel key, etc! Will be purchasing more, please don't change them and make them in more fun colors and prints!
