sustainability

Groundwork Knit is made using a premium grade nylon that has a significantly tighter woven filament than standard synthetics. Tighter filaments mean less microfiber shedding in the wash-cycle, plus greater durability of the garment (longer lifespan, more wearing).

Groundwork Knit fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

Awesome shorts!

I typically only wear tight shorts like these with a 6" inseam or greater because of chafing and riding up, but I just purchased these for a half, and they were great! They did ride up some, but not an uncomfortable amount and no chafing! The storage in the pockets in next level - I'm talking multiple water bottles, phone, snacks, keys, shirt.

I'm 5'7" and 145 lbs. and typically wear a Medium. I ordered a medium and they fit me perfectly

Best Trail Running Shorts!

I’ll buy these for life! Absolutely love them. They do ride up a little, although the elastic helps. I wish they made these in 5” for that reason with all the pockets! Running with water bottles is a little unrealistic- it was just too much bouncing. But I load the pockets full of dog leashes/bowls, phone, jackets, sunscreen, and so many snacks!

Absolute favorite shorts

I love these shorts. They are light weight with just enough compression. They have so many pockets In exactly the right places. The side pockets hold a slim water bottle perfectly which doesn’t move while I run and I can keep my phone in the other pocket. These shorts are really perfect!

The POCKETS! I love the deep pockets that these shorts have to offer. I run marathons so I need places to shove everything! They are perfect!

Jangi Trail Shorts

I bought a pair of the 3.5” Jangi trail shorts about a month ago and liked them so much that I ordered a second pair. These shorts are so lightweight and comfortable. I am one who doesn’t like carrying water bottles in my hand on my long runs. I have tried carrying water in belts but they just bounce all over. The pockets on these shorts are just what I have been looking for. I can easily carry a water, even two if needed, and still have room for fuel without any bouncing. I am totally hooked on these shorts!

These are not just women's shorts

My friends, do not let the title of these shorts categorize you. Clothes hold no gender! And these shorts are no exception. The shorter shorts are so much better than the 7 inches that are only offered under the "men" section. Love the oversized pockets. Great for 18 oz water bottles for those long runs.

Running trail tights

These are good love them, just can’t put my phone in pocket it wiggles around..Also wish I had ordered a small, I ordered a medium from all the reviews. They we’re probably saying this cause they put big water bottles in the pockets.

Great trail shorts

I love these shorts! I use them for trail running and the pockets come in very handy - I can fit snacks, a phone, mace, and my sunglasses. I am 5'4, 25" waist/35" hip and usually an XS but I bought a S based on reviews. These ride up slightly on me but that probably wouldn't have been an issue if I had bought my usual size. I liked the S enough not to exchange.
