Wonderful run shorts

These little shorts are light and effortless. I was initially apprehensive about the pocket in the back for the cell phone, but it stays in place. I love the green and blue colors but overall the comfort during a long run on a hot day is the best aspect.

Running shorts made right

I am 5'11, 140lb, run 50+mi/week on roads and mountain trails. I have a 30" waist and went with the mediums based on the sizing chart - I could have probably got the smalls, but am happy with the mediums. Once on, the shorts disappear. No chafing. Liner provides support without being too tight or too loose. Enough space to carry a key and a couple gels if needed. On long runs in humid conditions they do tend to wet out with sweat - more so than other shorts (found that out when traveling). However, in dryer climes, there isn't a short at any price point I could recommend over this one.

I don’t want to wear anything else in Bali

I bought the shorts for yoga, dancing, swimming, and hiking. Weightless and can secure a key in the ocean were the selling points for me.

Best 3in Shorts I Own

As a bigger / taller man I find most 3in shorts ride up, but not these! I feel all ranges of motion with these and they are so comfortable! Will def be getting another pair

Another pair of amazing shorts

While I really love the traditional AFO shorts, these split shorts are by far my favorite. The material is really soft, the fit it perfect and I really appreciate the extra ventilation from the side slits. I hope Janji continues to produce more of this style in future collections.

Great shorts!

Great shorts, perfect length, and just enough pockets. I would add another pocket somewhere, and I would loosen the liner’s elastic leg openings a tad bit. I love the stretch drawstring, which for myself, absolutely fine tunes the waist fitting. This is a quality running short and the fact that I have 3 different pairs says these are my ‘go to’ shorts whether for a solo run, or on a half marathon race day.

Best shorts I own

Janji continues to be my favorite brand ever for running shorts. No other brand even comes relatively close. Best design, best confront, and the best environmental message. Buy these shorts!
