Best shorts to run in
These are my favorite shorts to run in. They are comfortable. The pockets hold my iPhone and keys. They dry quickly if I sweat and most importantly they stay in place.I have many pairs and have worn them for years. They fit true to size.

Love the light grey and charcoal grey
I have a few of these from prior year(s) where they were mid-rise and I don’t mind high-rise although I also don’t find these high-rise shorts to rise much higher than the mid-rise. I love the pockets on both sides but the one on the waistband has gotten thicker since the prior versions so you can see it a bit on your tummy which I don’t love. My weight has fluctuated a little the past few years but these shorts always fit great and look flattering. Personally I do not like the materials used for any of the colors or patterns except the light grey and charcoal grey. Those are like stretchy cotton blend which is comfortable for lounging and working out. The material for the other colors is a cold, shiny, bathing suit-like material that feels gross and shows spots once I start sweating. On one hand I think they’re a little over priced at $20 but on the other they fit great, they’ve held up well (washing warm gentle and air drying flat on rack) and I did come back for more… It would be AWESOME if they could make other colors in the fabric/material used for the charcoal and light grey!!2024 Edit I still love these charcoal classic and light grey classic shorts and I really really wish they made full length leggings in these fabrics. As I noted before, I personally cannot stand the bathing suit like material used for all the other colors, so I avoid those. Unfortunately their leggings are only available in those yucky fabrics. Just putting it out in the universe I would buy several pairs of the leggings every year if they were available in the charcoal classic and light grey classic fabric! Buying more of those shorts now!

Great biker shorts
8” inseam, 2.0 here. Drove me crazy seeing pictures and not sure how long they were 😂 these are very comfortable, true to size for sure. Very stretchy. I bought these for run days to prevent thigh chafe and I do feel like these will do just that. They seem to be made well so I do believe they will hold up! No riding up in the legs, a littttle bit of having to hike them up at the hips but nothing that isn’t unusual to leggings and my shape. Will likely be purchasing another pair!

UPDATE: Fabulous, BUT–quality varies by color!
I’m updating my review because the seller completely fixed my problem, but I still think I should mention briefly that I originally purchased the CHARCOAL and they were not what I expected (although they may be what some people are looking for so I left the original review down below). However, I now have the BLACK shorts and they are everything I wanted.They’re the spandex-y, tight kind that I wear for running or hiding my pot-belly, but they’re also really lightweight and comfortable. The little pockets are FANTASTIC. Before these shorts I did a lot of weird things to secure my belongings while running (usually to no avail), but now I simply pop in my headphones, slide the iPhone in, and go! They’re like a second skin but with more security :-)And also they’re just the right length. I’m too self-conscious to wear short-shorts and fully expose my thighs because they’re covered in scars, but I sweat like a madwoman in the summer so I didn’t want to wear leggings either. These shorts are the perfect in-between: I’m not melting inside them but I can also focus on running without worrying about accusations of exhibitionism.I’m really glad to have these.Here’s what I wrote before about CHARCOAL:So these shorts (I got “Charcoal”) fit extremely well and are really stretchy and soft and comfortable (I got Medium and am a 5/6 in most clothes), but the first thing I noticed when I put them on was how thin they were! I wasn’t expecting it because most of my exercise pants have a little bit of a thicker, shiny fabric, but these are just soft, thin cotton so I had to keep pulling down the crotch to disguise my cameltoe D-:Another thing: Because these are so soft and thin, the “tummy control” feature doesn’t really hold in the little pot-belly I’ve gotten over the past year (I gained FORTY pounds from medication side-effects and am newly self-conscious). I thought the fabric would compress my thighs and my belly but it doesn’t.I’m also concerned that sweat will become visible during an intense workout. It’s a dark-grey fabric, but I went out in the rain for a minute and there were black spots where the pants got rained on.The bottom line is, these are thin, soft, stretchy shorts with nice little pockets on the side (perfect size for my iPhone which doesn’t slip out), but they don’t do the job when it comes to compression (I wish I got the black ones instead of charcoal. From the information I’ve read it seems like they are more of the type of fabric I was expecting) and they are unfavorably revealing–I mean I wanted my butt and my belly to look tight and hard in these pants but instead I just feel naked with a layer of cotton cradling my bottom half.

Just been out in these for 11 mile run and they are extremely comfortable. What made me buy them is the combination of high waist, 8” length and plenty of large enough pockets. I was a bit dubious because of the low price but the quality is great. I’m 5ft 3 and weigh 121lb (55kg) the XS are a nice snug fit which I like. I just ordered all the other colours available. The material on the charcoal shorts are slightly different, softer material, I like them both.

El short es lindo y funcional, sin embargo, solo conviene si no sudas o sudas muy poco. No es transpirable y no evapora para nada el sudor, lo cual lo hace incomodo para las personas que sudamos o que hacemos alguna actividad demandante.

Los pantalones son muy cómodos y perfecto para correr cuando hace calor afuera. Me gusta mucho los bolsillos para el teléfono y los llaves. Voy a pedir más!
