Nice shorts

They are great to run in and very comfortable. They are very short though. I'd say closer to 2-2.5in vs. 3in.

Favorite shorts all around!

I’ve worn these shorts running, hiking, camping, and river rafting and they continue to hold up. Super light and dries easily. Very comfortable and flattering!

My everything shorts

I love these for trail running, but I also wear them around casually on weekend adventures and when I’m road-tripping. They are the perfect length, the material is soft and flexible, and the colors are super cool.

BEST Running Short

Fit is great, they don’t bunch up in the front and end up a crinkly mess by the end of a long run. They are lightweight and breathable and have washed up well so far. iPhone fits comfortably in the back pocket with no bouncing and front key pocket is perfect. These are my new go to.
