Nice look, awful fit
I can't actually believe that a company like Salomon made these shorts. The fabric and look is nice, but the fit is terrible. They are very loose at the waist (unlike most running shorts that have a snug waistband) and ride up like crazy. I spent the first 4 miles of my run unable to think of anything other than how uncomfortable they were. I'm quite sure I didn't get the wrong size, either, because while the waist kept riding up, the liner is small to the point that I wondered if I'd accidentally bought a G string. Hey Salomon, runners have skinny waists! I'm super lazy about returning products I don't like but I'm determined to return these...
Like-naked feel & zero complaints
I have a couple weeks of daily running in these shorts. I bought three pairs to cycle into my lulu’ rotation but ended up just washing these so I could keep wearing them. As others mention, the fit is atypical. The waist band is loose, (but there is a draw string.) The pocket is for gels or a key; if you try to run with a phone it will jostle about. & the liner is loose and unsupportive. All true. And honestly not an issue. These shorts are amazing *running* shorts. It’s like running in nothing at all. I have done multiple >10 mile runs in them and a couple track workouts. They jam, pure and simple. Fit is true to size.
Great shorts. Bad size shart.
Shorts are great. Didn't use them. Bought mediums because the size chart said waist 33-35. I wear 32-33 waist pants and the medium is to tight to even attempt a stride. Getting a large.
Great Lightweight Shorts
I bought these for summer running on both road and trail & they've been great in both cases. I am 101.5 cm around the hips so purchased both M (99 cm) & L (105 cm) to try on. The inner pant of the M fitted great but they looked a little like hot pants so I opted for the L. The inner pant fits a little more loose on the L, as does the waist, but they synch tight with the waist cord & feel comfortable & free flowing when running. There's been no chaffing anywhere either. I now own both a Black & Green pair (both in L) & and continue to enjoy running in them.
Fantastic shorts!
Having read the other reviews, I just had to add my own different view. These are the most comfortable shorts I own, so much so, I ordered a second pair. The other reviewers talk about mismatch between thigh and waist size, but I just don't get that at all. I'm 183 cm tall, 79 cm waist and the medium size is perfect. The waist band is loose until you tie the drawcord and then they just float on your hips. Perfect for non-restrictive running, especially in the heat. And the back pocket takes a phone perfectly.
Good but the Sense are better
I own both the Sense and the Cross 5´ shorts and they look and fit great. The Sense are more comfortable (inner lining, elastic waistband vs drawcords) and the fabric is more breathable. So, if you don’t carry much and run in a hot climate, spend a little more and get the sense. J’ai les Sense et les Cross et les deux modèles sont beaux et agréables à porter pour courir. Les Sense par contre sont plus confortables au niveau du sous-vêtement interne, de la taille (élastique vs cordons) et le tissu est plus doux et respirants. Donc, si vous n’utilisez pas les shorts pour transporter des choses et que vous courez dans des températures plutôt chaudes, je pense que ça vaut la peine dépenser un peu plus our le modèle Sense. Male 5´10 70 kg and the medium fit good. August 2024
Keeps Changing for the Worse
Seems Salomon changed the design once again, although this time not as drastic. The older model was my favorite running shorts, then came the next gen a few years ago, and now this one. Although the changes are not as drastic, one main change is that these are even shorter, about 1.5 inches shorter than the last pair I bought about a year ago. Logos are larger and the waistband seems just slightly smaller (or maybe the black makes it seem smaller). These shorts are closer to a 3" short and I wish I had bought the 7" which might be closer to the original 5". Pictures show new shorts versus those purchased a year ago. Just seems like my Grande coffee keeps getting smaller. Just don't do it to shorts. If you list it as a 5" short, make it 5 inches. On the fence if I will return these. Pretty frustrating.
Read the reviews before you buy!
I knew the wasteband was larger than other Salomon shorts, so I ordered a size down to compensate because I really like the design and color of the short, I wear a L comfortably, so I got a M. The waste was larger than normal, but nothing that couldn't be dealt with, but the liner and thigh were super tight. Something went really wrong in the planning of this short with the sizing, the proportions just don't make any sense. A real shame as I have never had a problem before.

Odd sizing and drawcord
Based off the sizing chart I went with a size large. The brief liner fits very tight (almost like a medium or even small) and it sits very high up on the butt. The short material is very light and breathable, but short itself fits like an XL. The waistband is very loose and baggy and even with the draw cord pulled tight the shorts are still very loose. The draw cord is also very thin so when then cord is pulled to adjust you and feel it dig in.

Odd size and super uncomfortable liner
Similar to what Zach G and Clay76 had mentioned, the waist is way too big for the size, and the liner is way too small. My waist is in between XS and S, so I ordered a men's XS as I don't want to use the cord. However, I have to as the waist is very loose. On the other hand, the liner is super tight and so uncomfortable; I wonder if they'd shipped out a women's XS, you should be able to understand why I have this doubt.
