Decent fit but a little tight in the thigh area
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I really like the Spark 5" Short Tight. The color is versatile and can easily be paired with practically any of my workout shirts. I love that the waistband is not too tight and is mid-waist which makes for a more flattering fit. I love the length of them but noticed that the thigh area is a little too tight/restrictive for my preference so I wish there was a little more stretch. The shorts seem to stay in place and require minimal adjustments on my part no matter what type of workout I am performing which is a huge plus. I also love how smooth/contouring the material is which helps disguise my flaws. The length of the pockets is ideal for storing keys, my phone, etc. while on the go!
Outstanding new go-to shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks Spark 5" shorts are remarkably comfortable when running or walking indoors and outdoors. The inner-thigh panel defines comfort! Paired with the smooth, breathable fabric and modest 5" length, the Spark Short Tight checks all the boxes for everyday wear. There are multiple pockets that provide options for storing keys, phone, or rehydration pouches. The key feature of these is the built-in draw string that prevents it from ever being lost inside the waistband. While I do think these shorts run large, I would love to own more pairs of the Brooks Spark 5" Short Tight!
Runs Small but Comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fabric of these shorts is just as advertised: lightweight, breathable, comfortable, soft, and compressive. They run small - I usually wear a size small/medium but I got a size large and they fit me well. One of my favorite things about these shorts is that they have three pockets - one on each leg and a hidden pocket on the top in the back. The pockets on the side can fit my cell phone and the one in the back would be perfect for a credit card, keys, etc. I like the length; the 5 inch inseam isn???t too short and not too long. They do seem to ride up a little bit but since they???re not super short it???s not a problem. The only thing I would change about them is the sizing, but otherwise they???re great shorts and I will enjoy wearing them more often.
Great running short
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these shorts for my wife, who is a casual runner that is getting back into an exercise routine. She thought these were great. Her favorite feature are the side pockets and the back waist pocket, all great places to stash keys or a credit card when she's out. She did think the side pocket was a little snug to exercise or run with her phone for a long time, but was fine for a short errand. She also liked the material, which felt smooth and comfortable and the right weight.
My new favorite tights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few pairs of tights in my rotation but these are my new favorites because the material is high quality, the pocket situation is well designed, and the 5" length is perfect. I like having the option of putting my phone in the center back pocket (and knowing it won't fall out because the "turn and lock" design) or one of the two (!) side pockets. The fit is supportive without being constraining. I ordered my usual size small and it was true to size.
Comfortable, but runs small
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am 5???4??? tall and 130 pounds, for most, if not all brands I typically purchase a small. I ordered a small in these and they seem a bit more snug than I normally like. The fabric is comfortable and it???s really nice that they have the phone pocket on the side (a must for any leggings these days, right?). There???s also a pocket in the back that is handy as well. I might consider getting these again but would probably size up.
Feels great once on, getting on with ease requires certain body type
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The feel is great. The fit isn’t for me. I usually wear a medium but these in medium are cumbersome to get on. I’m not slender but more soft and boxy so getting them on & then off to use the restroom was difficult enough that I won’t wear them regularly. However, once they’re on and in place they feel great. I like the length of the shorts and the rise. The pocket is in back is sleek and doesn’t rub. The fabric is nice too- it is firm, but stretchy. I need more stretch for my body though. However- I think for people with a more slender body type these would be perfect and have no issues and be comfortable due to the tightness of the stretch. Basically- these are great but not for my body as it is right now. I’ll wear them still though on occasion. They make my booty look great so that’s a bonus too. Brooks makes quality items and these are definitely that.
Comfortable and Cure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have loved wearing these shorts. They are thin but thick enough to provide better coverage for bends and help to prevent chafing. They keep me warm as well for my outdoor runs and do a great job at helping with my sweat. I haven???t had any issues with ride up or down waistband fold downs and am very happy with the fit and feel. They are perfect for running, walks or just lounging around the house.
Perfect Running Shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my new favorite running shorts! They fit great, the length is perfect not too long, but long enough that you do not get that annoying chaffing that can happen on the inner thighs, if they are too short. The waist is also great, love that is it higher waisted and does not fall down while running. The material is soft and I have not seen any pilling with several washings. The pockets are a great bonus, the side pockets are deep enough to not worry about smaller items falling out and the back pocket in the waistline is great for holding keys or ID cards securely.
Comfortable Running Tights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are amazing! They have just the right amount of support and compression but are still so breathable and comfortable to run in. The 5" length surprised me in the best way possible – not too short, not too long, just perfect. I've recently switched over to running tights vs traditional shorts for a group fitness class that incorporates running with weights and rowing (IYKYK) and these are the perfect amount of coverage. The side pockets are a bit snug for larger phones, which is a minor inconvenience, and overall these are perfect. My new go to running attire!
