sustainability

Groundwork Knit is made using a premium grade nylon that has a significantly tighter woven filament than standard synthetics. Tighter filaments mean less microfiber shedding in the wash-cycle, plus greater durability of the garment (longer lifespan, more wearing).

Groundwork Knit 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 compression

Tested these today on the 13-mile run. The current color is so pretty & the soft fabric & compression was perfect - no riding up, no too-tight areas. Also didn’t notice sweat spots either in this color. Some 7” length shorts feel too heavy & long on my 160lb 5’5” frame but not these! I’ll be buying in more colors :)

Pockets stick out

I’m 5’8 and 135 pounds, 26 waist. Both the small and medium fit okay but the pockets bulge out on the sides in a way that no other tights/short tights do.

Stays put, perfect fit!

First pair of tight shorts that don’t ride up the leg! Comfortable to wear. Nice pocket size for my phone and essential gel packs. Love!

Love these, barely realize I'm wearing them!

Just bought my second pair of these, this time in the CYANOTYPE PAPAYA from the latest collection. They're so comfortable and I immediately wore them in a race and barely felt like I had shorts on! I love the seamless hem along the thighs, don't feel like I'm being sausaged in and restricted! And the updated silicon grippers on the hem (vs the other pair I have with a single strip on the hem) are great, I was nervous about feeling them but they keep the shorts in place but hardly noticeable.

Holy Grail

FINALLY! Shorts that DO NOT BUDGE. I am a size 14 distance runner and I’m constantly pulling down Lulu, Tres Pinas, Nike… these babies do not budge a mm. Comfortable, no chafing at all. Definitely showed some sweat by the end of a long run, which was visible with lighter color. Also, legs were definitely sausagey in them so they weren’t the most flattering cut, but I don’t care.

The best shorts ever got even better

Janji, thank you for making a pair of shorts I can actually enjoy running in! I've been running almost exclusively in these shorts since I discovered them ~2 years ago. I used to struggle with shorts riding up at the thighs and chafing, and constantly adjusting the waistband. Not with these! When I put them on, they stay put and the inseam is long enough to fend off the dreaded thigh-chafing. I recently purchased the spring 2023 version and was delighted to see the bottom hem grippys are a new dots design compared to previous versions that had a strip of the grippy material. I love love love the big side pockets and the back pass-through pocket. I have found myself on 10+ mile runs being able to carry my phone/keys/snacks/dog treats/everything without them bouncing around. These truly have a next-to-skin feel and you can count on burying me in them.

I am 5'9" ~175lbs with strong hip/thighs and I wear a medium in these shorts.

Perfect

The goal is to not think about my clothes while I’m running. I’ve put about 20 miles on these shorts so far and I’ve never had to stop and adjust them during my workout.
