sustainability

Our AFO fabric is composed of 88% recycled polyester. We use high-grade recycled polyester made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic like rPET (commonly found in single-use bottles and containers) to reduce the impact of our apparel without sacrificing on performance, durability or comfort.

Lightweight, comfortable. Great for hot days!

A great short for hot days. The material is really soft, light and stretchy. I like that they have a built-in briefs liner. All things together, you barely feel like you're wearing anything (in a good way on a hot day!) once you start running.

I get a little bounce from the phone pocket and have since learned sizing down might help, which I'll try next time. It's not so much that I'd drop a star from this review, though, but might be worth thinking about if you're a longer distance runner than me (5 miles max)

Awesome Shorts

These shorts are amazing! They are soft, light, breathable, and are made with great materials. The strings in the waistband seem a little delicate and feel like they might get easily damaged if they snagged on something. Other than that I would highly recommend for exercise and normal use.
