Lightweight and super flattering

I have many shorts from many different running brands and these are my current favorites. The cut is both comfortable and flattering, especially for hot & humid summer runs. I picked up the solid Royal Blue as a second pair because I reach for my teal ‘Ocean’ ones constantly. I’m an XS or S in athletic shorts depending on the brand (size 0-2 in pants) and I like the fit of these in a size S, though I’ve tried on XS and they would also work - I just prefer the slightly looser fit in this style.

love everything about this short

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. They are incredibly light and so comfortable, making them perfect for running. The fit is great, especially for my frame. I'm 5'2" and 102 lbs, and I'm glad I chose the XS size, as it fits perfectly. The material feels breathable and soft against the skin, which adds to the overall comfort.

Favorite running slash lounging shorts

I have several pairs of these: a few for running and a few for just hanging out. They're the best – great fabric, band is wide and soft but not TOO wide. I'm usually a medium so I got mediums to run in and those fit well, but I also ordered a few larges just for hanging out in so that they hang a bit looser. Both sizes work well for what I'm going for.

These are my favorite go-to long run shorts. They are airy, not too short, don’t ride up and fit perfectly!

Great short shorts for running or hiking!

I really like these shorts. I am 5'10", ~160 lbs and wear a 10-12/size Large. I purchased size Large and these fit true to size to me. They are ~medium rise to me. The leg openings are wide enough and stretchy enough to be comfortable while moving. The pocket in back is great for a cell phone, and I like the key ring+stash pocket in front.

Best shorts for summer running

These shorts are so awesome that I almost immediately bought a second pair. They are light and airy and wick away sweat like a dream; I've worn them both running and hiking in 100 degree desert temps with no chaffing or rubbing. The back pocket is great for stashing keys, gels, headlamp, etc.
