So I originally ordered these just to prevent chaffing, camel toe and well just riding up when training for my half marathon, and well they have EXCEDED my standards. First off I am curvy (5’8” 160lbs), so yeah my thighs gobble everything and I mean EVERYTHING: regular bike shorts, shorts, even my legs themselves…whelp I should clarify everything BUT these! Omg these have changed my running and made me appreciative for things I didn’t know I should be appreciative for. They fit perfectly snug which is nice to have everything compressed and not feel like I’m lugging around extra weight. I ordered both of the various length sizes (expecting to return one) incase the shorter ones chaffed but I fell in love and kept both!!! I was so excited to try these before I left for an international trip, but unfortunately i opened the package the night before (haha yes last minute shopping) and took the risk of packing them as one of my few items for my trip to Thailand and let me say these did not disappoint. Training for my half marathon abroad I have gone on many runs in extreme conditions, I’m talking 90F+ degree heat 80+ humidity, random downpours, sweating cups of liquid everyday, and many uses between laundry (sure call me gross but backpacking life). They not ONLY survived but became my staple running and backpacking items. They stay down and do not ride up (when out to the test in any of those conditions listed above) they do an amazing job at wicking any moisture away. And sure call me a gross backpacker but I didn’t wash these for three runs in a row and they didn’t stink?!?! Like wtf is this magic… and what genius invented these, like two pockets that are deep and stretchy?!?! I have shoved plastic water bottles, change, money, phone, keys, and more in these and they fit everything snuggly and nothing fell out. On top of that well traveling I have lost some noticeable weight, and guess what? THESE STILL do everything they need and more. The little waist band is nice to be able to adjust it to make sure they fit to any body type. I do not know who invented these but everything is so thought out and lovely. BUY THEM!!! I’m serious you will be thanking me when you do. I got this brand recommendation from a running redit thread about camel toes and ridding up and I 100% agree this is the best brand…No I was not paid to leave this review I just LOVE these pants and wear them everyday. Now they are more than running shorts and have gone on so many adventures.
