REI Co-op  Swiftland 9" Running Short Tights - Men's

Excellent value, great for running and hiking. I was a staunch advocate of hiking 13ers and 14ers in "techy" cutoffs made by a certain bike company, until an extremely long approach caused the hipbelt of my pack to give me sores. Picked these up to throw into my running rotation and took them up a 13er. Amazing. Just thick enough for the chill up top to not kill me, but so comfortable and no chance of chaffing. Also, DO NOT WEAR UNDERWEAR under these. That's a one way ticket to problems and defeats half the purpose. Much like bib shorts for cycling, these are meant to be worn directly against your skin. Anyway, they're so fantastic I'm going to buy a second pair.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Comfortable compression/type shorts. Streamline fit and the materials are a good weight for running in cooler temps.
