Brooks  Chaser 5" Shorts 2.0 - Women's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great concept, but falls short in delivery. I used these shorts while training on a treadmill. As someone whose inner thighs chafe, it did not provide the inner coverage needed to prevent chafing making it difficult for me to even a run a mile comfortably. Definitely a built in inner spandex lining would be ideal for this issue. However, I do like how comfortable and lightweight it is! But it is a little too light weight, as the pockets couldn’t hold much weight. Therefore, my small items in my pockets were drooping and weighed me down more. Overall the fit of the shorts is slightly on the large side. I still do use the shorts often, for yoga and other cardio workouts! Just not running

I love the Chaser 5” shorts. They are so lightweight I don’t even notice them. I feel the 2.0 are slightly smaller in the waist which is perfect for me. I am 5’4 and 110lbs. I had to cinch up the original to keep them up but the XS was too tight in the butt. The 2.0 size small fit is much better. They are pricey, but last a long time. I average 50 miles a week running and the Chasers survive washing very well. I had a pair lose the logo off the leg, but the material looks perfect. Trust me, the price is worth it. I am looking forward to long hot summer runs!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Women Chaser 5” Short 2.0 are my new favorite shorts! The color I have on is Neo Cayenne and it is so vibrant and bright. I have a walking pad at home in my basement and I constantly find myself reaching for these shorts. I got them in a size L and I’m about 165lbs give or take. They are so comfortable and stay put in the waistband, plus there is an adjustable draw cord. These shorts don’t restrict you and provide a full range of motion. They are very lightweight and it feels like you have nothing on! I‘m 5’6 and the length is perfect for me and provides the right amount of coverage. I love that there is enough room in the leg area for walking, running, and stretching. Now I need a pair of these shorts in every color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how bright colored the Womens Chaser 5" Short 2.0 is. It helps me stay more visible when it starts getting dark. The shorts fitted just right. It is very light weight and breathable. I like that it has a pocket at the center in the back although it would have been great if it could close so I could put me key in there without worrying about it falling out. I like the style in general, not tight but flowy. It is almost like a skorts. The fabric stays dry and holds well when washed. It is definitely one of my favorite shorts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are by far the best running shorts I’ve ever used. I’m on the taller side (5’8”) and always struggle to find shorts that are comfortable, stay put, and don’t run too short. They have a short tight liner that I found helped keep them in place while running. I’ve used them for a few weeks and they were indeed chafe-free. They were also functional with storage to hold essentials while out for a run. I found that these shorts run fit true to size. Aside from the comfort and functionality, these shorts were also flattering.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are one of my favorites now in rotation and I can’t wait until the temperature begins to warm up more to use them more frequently. I love the built in liner that makes me feel secure, but the outer material is more loose fitting and flows so well with movement. These shorts are flattering in all the right places. I received the bright orange/pink color, which as a roadside runner at times near my neighborhood, feels like an added safety measure considering the brightness. I haven’t experienced any chaffing or skin breakdown while wearing these shorts, a testament to friction and moisture prevention. Very pleased!

Stats: 5'6", 149 lbs, fit build with muscular legs. Just ordered a size M Brooks Women's Chaser 5" short. Brooks Chaser was my fav. I wear them frequently. Just tried the 2.0 and was very disappointed. The hip width has shrunk at least 1 inch plus, there is no horizontal vent sewn across the backside, the curve cut at front of leg results in less fabric across the top of thighs. So the fit is now very different. If I went to a size Large, the legs would be way too large I'm afraid. Sorry to now have to search for a new short brand. Ugh. Brooks, why oh why did you leave me? Also, just learned local running businesses are dropping Brooks apparel. What's happening?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are super light and comfortable, and I love the blue-green pattern. I like the way the 5" length looks, and I was hoping the longer-ish length would completely eliminate the legs riding up on runs (my primarly reason for purchasing them). Unfortunately, they still rode up on a long, hot run when I was pretty sweaty. I think I can wear them for shorter runs in cooler weather (and for casual wear), but I might need to get the 7" version for longer and hotter runs. I'm 5' 6" and about 150 lbs (with thighs that have always been a bit large compared to my waist/hips) and got a medium.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very cute, bright color. They hit right at the top of my mid thigh. I bought a longer length specifically so they wouldn’t creep up my thighs during my run, but unfortunately, they were swallowed by my legs almost immediately into my run.

I love the color and quality of this shorts. It is high waisted. A small fits me. I’m 5’1” 122lbs. The only problem with this shorts is the bottom is very roomy and too much material just flapping on my thighs. My thighs are medium and not skinny or tiny.
