SHORT: Some pants are available in short sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 2.5 inches shorter than regular sizes.

Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Try them!
I was curious to try running tight shorts after seeing them in a catalog and these don't disappoint. I went on a surprise rainy 5 mi run in these and forgot they were on they were so comfortable. Shorts would have gotten uncomfortable and my thighs would have changed in them. They fit pretty tight: I am 5'10" 155 lbs and am on the edge of S/M for pants but fit comfortably in a M. Also great for stretching/yoga and excited to try them on a Peloton at a hotel gym.
Fantastic for your daily spring/summer runs
A great choice for the "daily" run days (not much storage for long runs). Material feels great, seems like it will hold up over time, wicks sweat affectively, no binding or chafing. I've used and washed these many times now and they're still looking new. I will absolutely add another to my spring/summer running gear shortly. I have many comparable brands as I've been comparing quality/features, but these are my go-to for my shorter weekday runs for sure. For the price I don't think these can be beat!
Very good
For hiking trip out west, one of these short tights bought for 39 yo dad, one for 14 yo son. Previous review for me, this one for the boy. We both like these tights for wearing in hot weather on the trail. Grey is nice. Material is medium weight, breathes nicely but you can see underwear through the material. A 14 yo was a bit shy that his briefs showed but no big deal when it is 100 degrees in the desert. All-in-all, these are great.
Great fit, Comfy, Maybe a little overpriced
I bought these along with Brooks' equivalent. These are great in all necessary respects -- comfy, no chaffing, no riding up, good fit, etc. I don't run with my phone, but it fits in these pockets (the Books' pocket was too narrow). I like the lighter color, but it makes any bulges, etc., a little more obvious than the darker colors. I think the Brooks shorts are a little softer, but it's marginal. I would think these would be ~$5-10 cheaper than the Brooks pair, but that's oddly not the case.
Size Up
The sizing is absolutely terrible. I'm a 29"-30" waist and thus a small by the sizing guide. I couldn't put the shorts on without worrying about ripping the seams. Now the medium is out of stock. Incredibly disappointed with this purchase.
So far so good
I bought these about a month ago and have been using them several times per week in the gym thus far. I bought them hoping they’d hold up to barbell movements, in particular movements like the clean, front squats, dead lift, etc. They’ve been great so far, with no issues like pilling or abrasion damage from the bar scraping against them. It’s still a bit early to know if they’ll hold up long term, for from what I’ve seen so far, I’m planning on getting another pair. Some things to note: the pockets are awesome. The waist while stretchy, can be restrictive when putting them on or taking them off, so I’ve already heard some snapping threads in the waist band from stretching them a bit too far. The black color is black, but has a weird finish to it, giving it a soft black color to the eye, almost like spandex that was pure black, but faded overtime. It look good, just not jet black.
Great for the gym, too.
I know these are billed as running shorts, but I got them for leg day at the gym. I listen to a podcast while working out, so the pocket is perfect for holding my phone. They are comfortable and fit well, with neither binding nor sagging. The material is thick enough it feels rugged and does not show anything underneath. Time will tell on the wear factor.
No frills short tights
Comfortable compression/type shorts. Streamline fit and the materials are a good weight for running in cooler temps.
Best running shorts/tights
Great running shorts! I especially love the side pockets. The fit is great. They're comfortable, just snug enough, and don't feel too revealing. More importantly, they're durable. Recently wore a pair during a Spartan race and they were perfect for the job. Stayed comfortable throughout the race and allowed for complete range of motion.
I like them
Been using these for 1-2 months and I'm happy so far. As a heavier runner they stay put decently and prevent chafing. Works well with underwear, unsure about performance without, seems like your goods might rub the seem in the middle. Based on the good experience I have ordered some additional pairs.
