Fantastic for small waist and big bottom/thighs

5 years ago

Being a person with a large bottom and thighs and a small waist, it has been extremely difficult to find shorts that give me enough room while also fitting without a large gap around the waist. I wear a size 12 in jeans normally, so I decided to try for an XL in these shorts. I have found my unicorn! They are plenty roomy in the thigh area. The drawstring at the waist is an absolute lifesaver. It’s brings the waist in without bunching too much, which can sometimes be an issue. Overall, I would happily live in these shorts all summer.

Love these shorts, just need bigger pocket

5 years ago

Great material that doesn't stick to the legs when you're extremely sweaty, nor does it ride up. The liner is comfortable and, more importantly, does not chafe, even on long sweaty runs. I like the wide waistband, which is made of a soft, comfy material. I bought these shorts for the pockets. The one in the side of the waistband fits my keys and keeps them securely in place. The zippered pocket on the back of the waistband is small - it only fits an ID card sized item; would love it if the next iteration had a larger zippered pocket to fit a phone or larger sized gels. That's the only improvement I would ask for, otherwise it's a great, almost perfect, pair of shorts.

Been looking for shorts like these for years!!!

4 years ago

I cannot fault these shorts! I have big thighs from cycling and always have to get men's shorts but they never sit right! I ordered these worn a pair for a week in the summer and ordered 5 more! Due to my thighs I get chub rub so the shorts are long enough to stop this happening but also are short enough to allow me to stay cool in summer months! If they do more like this next year I'll buy another 5! The waistband is also good and just stretchy and supportive no tightness! I honestly cannot fault them. After reading the reviews below they say the short is too wide and this is why they were perfect for me!

Awkward cut on side of shorts

4 years ago

I really wanted to like these shorts, as it's not common to find a 5 inch inseam on women's shorts. And these had potential, with a nice waistband and a straighter cut of the shorts meaning they didn't 'poof out' like others tend to do. But the cut of the side of the shorts was the dealbreaker. They rounded side just made the legs look bigger; not sure why the shorts needed such a big uptake on the side.

Absolutely love these shorts!

6 years ago

I absolutely love these shorts! Great length for running and just in general on the go. Running shorts that aren't wicked short are hard to come by these days and the 5 inch inseam on these is just the right length. I also really love the thicker waist band. The zipper pocket is a bonus. Buying two more pairs of these now - More colors please!!

The shorts are great BUT

5 years ago

I had to return them. Based on the measurement chart, I should be able to wear XS or S. The XS I couldn't even get over my legs and the S fit nicely in the waist but the legs were so wide I had to return.

Perfect run shorts

Great fit, originally wanted shorts with leggings within but felt to restrictive. These shorts are just perfect with plenty of pillows let's too.

Perfect fit for my wife

Perfect fit since the very first time - runs true to size. Went out for a 15K run and she felt it really confortable. Dry really quick too.
