sustainability

The first rule to making something sustainable? Build it to last. This short is built to endure the rigors of serious wear. We removed zippers, because they will inevitably fail. We made it out of our AFO-Vent fabric — a durable nylon that is lightweight yet tough, abrasion resistant, odor resistant and will retain its shape. We changed the drawcord to an infinity loop that will not get tugged out in the wash and we reinforced the pocket openings with 14 bar tacks.

Our AFO-Vent fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

All the pockets yet magically light

Can’t believe how invisible these feel! Even with my iPhone 14 Pro in the back. It doesn’t bounce at ALL and really just disappears. Wore these in the rain and my phone was surprisingly dry.

Fit is excellent for me: I got my usual Janji bottoms size Small (waist 26”, hips 37”, thighs ~22” circumference). I’ll feel the top hem on the AFO Middle shorts pull a little if I take too wide a stride, but the split on the Multi Shorts give my thighs all the space and then some. Liner fits well on me, seemed similar to the Small in the AFO Middle and previous AFO Vent shorts. Compared to the AFO Vents, the SS23 Multi Short has less of an angle from inseam to front split and the back split is more rounded, but are otherwise very similar. The waistband felt snug while pulling them on the first time—less stretch from the pocketing system I’d a guess—but once I’d carefully got them on, it was good to go! Felt just right, comfortable, and I didn’t have to overly tighten the drawstring to keep the pockets from sagging. The pocket placement somehow perfectly distributes the weight. The S-biner is a nice touch too. The Multi-Shorts have some serious magic going on, staying light and airy while I stuff the pockets to my heart’s content. Can’t wait to wear these all summer!

Perfect trail shorts!!

Love these shorts! I had the original version of these shorts from a few years ago and LOVE the new version! The liner is so lightweight and doesn't ride up at all. The AFO middle shorts liner does not work for me and rides up but the liner on these is great!! The split is super nice and gives great range of motion. I love all of the pockets near the waistband and love that they're low profile enough that if i'm not using them you wouldn't even be able to tell there are pockets!

I'm a bit confused about some of the reviews saying these run small, I didn't find that to be the case at all. I'm 5'10", 170 lbs and a medium fit great. I'm a L in the AFO middle shorts but according to this size chart I was a M and the M ended up fitting wonderfully. I will say, I don't really understand why Janji has size chart variance within their brand - ie in the size chart for these shorts 30-32 waist (me) is a M, but in the middle shorts and pace shorts a 30-32 waist is a L. But, that being said, the size chart for these specific shorts was true to size for me!

So much storage and still lightweight!

I love these shorts, this is my second pair. Please make them in black!!! The top of these shorts sits really well and holds so much stuff, and there is no bounce. The fabric is really lightweight, and together with the split I forget that I am wearing them. I have worn them in a recent marathon and half and they were perfect. I'm 5'5'' 130lb and wear a small in these, I wear a medium in the AFO Middle short.

LOVE! Perfect for a run!

I absolutely loved these shorts! As a marathon runner, I have a lot of pairs of shorts but stick with what I know. Definitely adding these to the rotation!
PROS: stretchy material, super comfy, quick drying.
CON:
Definitely runs on the small size, no pocket to hold gels, keys, etc.

Hi Carrie - so glad to hear you're loving the AFO-Vent Multi Shorts! Check out the pocketing built right into the waistband - perfect for keys (there's a key clip on the front right), gels, and more!

I live these shorts. I always had my fav go-to shorts, but now I always want these shorts clean and ready to go. I live in a hot humid climate, and these are light, airy, and comfortable.

Light, airy, comfy

My go-to shorts for sure, I now have 4 pairs of various janji shorts. The fabric is "barely there", very comfortable to run or just walk around even. In this version, definitely love the number of pockets. My only thing with this company is somewhat longer front crotch to waistband fabric. I'd love to see it shorter than behind to fit better.

Didn't think I would fall in love...but I did!

These shorts are amazing! The pockets around the waist hold just the right amount for an outing with the dogs. They don't ride up and are sooo comfy!

Lightweight & full of pockets

These shorts are very lightweight and comfortable with lots of little pockets to hold extra gels for long runs. Great for training and even race day. They don’t fall easily like other shorts when trying to pack extra fuel for runs.

Great running shorts!

I really like how soft and flowy these feel. Love the split on the legs and built in underwear. This definitely helped while running in the hot Florida sun. I also like all the extra pockets. I would definitely purchase again. Even though the waist is a little smaller than other brands, it wasn’t uncomfortable. I think I prefer these over my Lululemon’s since I love the split so much.

Amazing!

I was a little skeptical at first because the waist seemed a little small. Shouldn't have been because these shorts are soooo comfortable. They're so light, and the split on the side is so freeing. Love all the pockets too!
