Maybe my favorite daily training shorts

For longer runs and race, I love the Janji half tights. But for everyday running, the 5” AFO shorts are pretty much perfect. Great weight, breezy fabric, comfortable liner- can’t ask for much more. I have other shorts from “boutique” and big brands, but I will always reach for these first.

It has been a long time since

It has been a long time since someone addressed the removal of Hind running shorts from the US market. The beauty of Hind was, it felt like you had nothing on, your shorts come the closest to replacing them. This is especially true in the intense heat we have experienced this summer.

Lightweight, great cut

Aerodynamic fit without feeling constricting. Just feels like excellent tailoring. Back pocket holds my Galaxy S22 in its OtterBox Commuter Case just fine, and positions it in good spot for a smooth carry.

Need more 7 inch shorts in stock

I bought running shorts for my son. There were very few 7 in ones left in stock. All bright colors. So I bought a 5 in pair and he didn't like the length. Returned them for bright green 7 in. ones. I agree with another reviewer who asked for more conservative colors in running shorts. My son would have preferred a more neutral color in 7 in.

Favorite Shorts for training and long distance

I love the improvements on the shorts. Perfect for training and long distance, plus the print design is so unique that I don't want any other.
