You asked, we listened! The new 4" Cadence Short is built for runners who favor the freedom of our best-selling hyperlight fabric, but want to up their coverage game. We added a high-rise waistband that's softer than our traditional AFO Middle Short waistband for a smooth fit through the hip, and we lengthened the back hem (just a bit!) so you won't feel exposed on the trails or during post-run errands Read more

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 (a form of recyclable plastic commonly found in single-use bottles and containers) to reduce the impact of our apparel without sacrificing on performance, durability or comfort.

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

Perfect long run shorts!

These are my go to shorts for racing half marathons and doing long runs. They are super light and don't constrict or ride up. I bought 2 more pairs :)

No chafe!!

These are amazing. I have been running for over 20 years, and these are the first shorts I can run long distances (>50k) without any chafe, even in hot, humid conditions and rain! I have been telling all my fellow trail runners how awesome these are and have bought multiple pair so I can run exclusively in these.

The fit and function is everything I wanted. Comfortable waist and roomy legs. Pocket fits my iphone mini. I wear them running and paddle boarding. Could swim in them too.

Amazing running shorts

From the moment I tried these shorts, they were super comfortable and fit great. They are light and airy. The 4” length works much better for me than the 3”, and I appreciate the extra length. The liner is also perfectly made with the proper coverage. I really enjoy running in them and they're going to be my best friends for summer running. Thank you, Janji!

new favorite shorts

I still love the AFO middle shorts, but these are my new favorites - the waistband is super comfortable, and I like the slightly longer inseam. If you're looking for a short with a little more coverage that's still very lightweight, give these a try! I hope in the future they'll have options for more cool surface patterns too :)

Obsession-worthy

I absolutely love these shorts. The length is great. The fabric is light, airy and dries super-fast. The color is great. The waistband is comfy. Only one minor suggestion, could you add a key clip to one of the pockets?
