Good Quality, Runs small

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are high quality well made shorts. They have pockets which is wonderful! The fabric is thick, and they seem like they will last a long time. However, they might get sweaty in hot weather. They washed very well. Although they are supposed to be snug they do run small. I normally wear a medium (I'm 120lbs, 5'1" for reference) and these were a little snug so if you wanted more room I would recommend going up a size. Honestly I will probably wear these mostly under skirts/dresses as they give some support, but also for some exercise. I like the style/cut and high waist. If they were a little more breathable/lighter fabric and true to size they would be perfect.

Great Workout Shorts

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are fantastic shorts! The blue color is a nice break from black but still goes with everything. This hit in just the right spot on both your legs and your torso, and fit true to size (though are a little snug to pull on in your regular size if you have wider hips like me, but once they're up they are perfect!). My favorite part about these is the slight angle in the stitching for the pockets - instead of just going straight down they are at a slightly more natural angle for your hands, which makes it a lot easier/less awkward to pull your phone or anything else out while you are running or cycling.

Comfortable

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shorts, they're the perfect length to prevent chafing and they don't ride up when I run, which is a big requirement for me for shorts because I have large thighs. They're sleek and moisture wicking and super light weight and will be great for the summer. I love that they have lots of pockets. I've done long range running before and I know this would be great shorts for long distance because I would be able to store energy chews in the side pockets and my phone in the back pocket pretty securely. The waist band stays put and is high waisted so it hides my mamma belly pretty well and feels comfortable. I'm wearing a size M and am 5'3" 130lbs and I feel it fits me perfectly.

New favorite running shorts

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are so comfortable and flexible! These have 2 side pockets and a hidden pocket in the back so there is plenty opportunity to store items to be hands free. I don't have much of a peachy backside but these shorts are very flattering and provide a nice look and shape. Color is fun, length is good, it is longer than my usual style for shorts. These shorts are well designed and there is no gapping or sagging in the crotch area. I haven't found any negatives with these shorts, and will continue to wear for many activities.

Great fit

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love these running shorts, it holds me in and helps me contract my abs while walking/running. The length is perfect for me, I personally do not wear super short shorts, so this is great! I love the three pockets, it allows me to keep my house key and my phone handy without being distracted or uncomfortable. The material is very soft, smooth, stretchy and flattering. The shorts do not fall or droop, it stays in place. Overall, it???s a great pair of athletic shorts and I cannot wait get more colors.

Love these!

1 year ago

I'm no longer a runner, but I really like these. I bought a size larger than I normally wear because I wanted them a little longer and less snug, and they fit just the way I want, are super comfortable, and are longer than other shorts. I ordered multiple pairs after buying the first one. I use these for hiking in hot weather and for working out at the gym. I think the secure back pocket for phones is a great idea, and I really appreciate having THREE pockets. I also like that the side pockets have horizontal tops so things don't fall out. However, I rarely put my phone in this back pocket because it's too sweaty there.

Nice compression shorts

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 5'4", about 160lbs, wear 8/10 in pants for reference, and got a size M. These shorts are a good length for working out (they fall a couple of inches below my fingertips). No chafing and don't ride up! It gives a decent amount of support and no major camel toe. The high waist doesn't roll down and there's a flat drawstring. My favorite feature has to be all of the deep pockets. There are 2 side ones and the one on the back at the waist band can hold a phone turned on its side. One change I would make would be the hem line at the bottom of the shorts. They slightly cut into my thighs making me not feel so confident wearing them in public. The fabric is a beautiful deep teal and is very smooth. I love that my dry fingertips don't catch. You can't go wrong with these shorts!

I ordered the Spark 8 inch since the Method is no longer offered. The side pockets are more narrow than the Method, which made it more difficult to store my phone there. Otherwise, the shorts are very good, I wore during a marathon and had no issues with them riding up or causing chafing. I would give them a five if the pocket was made a little wider for cell phone. I am in between a medium and a large size, I bought them in a large, they did not feel tight at all.

My new go-to for long term comfort

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my new go-to short tights for my light jogging and walking. They fit true to size and even stretch enough as my backside is larger. They’re firm in the tummy area which helps when jogging and makes me feel more comfortable mentally. They wash and dry perfectly with no shrinkage, pillage or loss of elasticity. I like the length as they don’t ride up the legs at all. I highly recommend these short tights. They’re comfortable and durable!

Great shorts!

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit and feel of these shorts are great. They are very comfortable when doing a gym workout or on the stationary bike. The fabric is buttery smooth. I???m 5???4??? 162 lbs and the large was perfect, not too tight and not too loose. I like the design and appreciate pockets. The length of the shorts are not too short where the skin on my legs can rub together causing chaffing. Nor do they ride up constantly like other shorts I???ve had. The back pocket is great for my phone on long runs. I just use my smart watch to operate my phone. For workouts I tend to just use the side pockets. The pockets are what I love the most actually. They make these shorts very functional. Not only can I workout in these, but I can also wear them out and about. I???ve only used these for a few weeks, so at this time there isn???t anything I can think of that I would change. Again great shorts!
