Great Shorts!

Wore these for my first marathon! I tried them on for my 20-mile training run just to see how I'd like the pockets and where I'd chafe etc. The grips stay on exceptionally well, and all the pockets are SO useful. I chafed a tiny bit the first time around, but some body glide in the problem areas prevented that during the race! I put my phone (iphone 15 pro) in a ziplock as I'm a sweaty gal, and put in the side pocket for my entire race, and it was always secure, never bouncy.

Fit was great, true to size (I'm 5'4 and vary between 129-135lbs during training), and even being a little bloated from carb loading, these shorts always felt great.

I don’t even realize I’m wearing shorts

I am very sensitive to the way running shorts feel on my body and am not a typical tights gal. When I wear these I don’t think about them at all. They do exactly what I need them to do and they look great! I’m heavy sweater and these keep me feeling dry.

The best!

I absolutely love these! Such a game changer for my runs. I have thick thighs and I had been so used to biker shorts rolling up. The sticky dots hold them in place the whole time! I am going to need to get more for sure once more colors come out! I am 5’4”, 138 pounds, 29 inch waist and 40 inch hips & the small fits great! I have both the 5 inch and the 7 shorts. I personally prefer the 5, but love both!

By far best running shorts ever! from an ultra runner

As an ultra runner and mom of 4 who has been running and coaching for almost 20 years, these shorts are the jackpot of running shorts.

I'm between 5'6.5" and 5'7, 125lb. I got mediums a while back because some of the comments made me think I should size up. Thaf really wasn't necessary. While they fit and I love them and still wear them, I find my new pair of size small nicer--especially with the pockets full (as they tend to be during marathon season)
