Perfect running shorts- stylish and functional
I’d been searching for the perfect pair of running shorts and I finally found them! These shorts check every box- snug like compression shorts without feeling restrictive, super breathable, and they stay in place no matter how far I run. No rolling, slipping, or constant adjusting needed! One of my favorite features is the high waistband, which offers great tummy support without feeling too tight. They’re super flattering and give that smooth held in feeling. And let’s talk about the side pockets- absolute game changer! They’re deep enough to hold my phone, keys, or gels so I can run hands free. They look amazing too! Stylish enough to wear beyond workouts. Whether I’m getting the gym, the trails, lifting weights or just running errands, these shirts are a must have! Highly recommend!
Solid summer option
If you’re planning on trail running, marathon training, or stuffing your pockets with dog treats for the park, these are a solid pick! Material is slightly thick - in a nice, compressive way. Pockets are plentiful and great. Lime green pockets are a fun bonus. Drawstring lets you nicely dial in the fit. My only complaint is I had a little creeping up on longer runs but was not so bad that I was distracted.
Breathable multipurpose fitness shorts
I've worn these shorts for hiking, running, and gym work outs. They are breathable, well fitted, and the pockets themselves breathe (which keeps my phone dry from sweat). The pockets are also deep enough and wide enough for phones/small wallets, but stay taut, so you don't have to worry about losing anything. The shorts have washed well, held their shape, and the fabric hasn't pilled or pulled. While I haven't tried to take these shorts for a swim, I suspect they'd dry quickly. In short, a perfect spring/summer fitness short for just about any activity! My only cons: The seam at the thigh will creep up with a lot of lunge/squat movements, and can be a little tight, depending on where it falls on your thigh. I'd also recommend sticking to the black option to minimize sweat signs.
Fitted Running Shorts that Don't Budge!
These are the greatest little fitted running shorts. It is so hard to find a pair of this style that actually stay in place and these are it. The fabric is great quality and super comfortable. Definitely a winner in my book.
I want to like these…show sweat marks
The fit is good, they do ride up a bit when running but I have yet to find a pair that don’t. Pockets are a little weird, seem to have too much fabric and the fabric is kind of thick, but this doesn’t impact functionality. Sad the back middle pocket doesn’t fit my phone. Yes it fits in the side, but I prefer securing my phone at my back. The material feels really nice and cool for warm weather runs. However….THESE WILL SHOW SWEAT, front and back. Sorry, I canNOT wear these in public without looking like I peed myself after a summer run. I have the green ones—maybe the other colors aren’t too bad.
400+ miles and still (kinda) going strong
I used these shorts to hike the Colorado Trail this summer (483 miles) and they held up reasonably well but do show signs of wear. The mesh side pockets are the most obvious places where there are loose elastic threads sticking out and the inner thigh seams where the fabric rubs the most. The inner thigh rub is something I expect after so much friction day after day, but the pockets seem like a miss for me. I have the previous version of these shorts that also wore out in the inner thigh after a season of hiking/backpacking but the pockets were totally fine. One thing I do love about these shorts is the 6" inseam which is just about perfect for my 5'1" frame. Any longer isn't flattering on me and any shorter leads to chub rub. If you like lightweight bike shorts for hiking/running/exercising, then these shorts are great! However, I would not expect them to last more than one season. This version of the Swiftland shorts seems to run slightly smaller than the previous iteration, but I still fit into the same size just with a bit more feeling of compression.
Love
Love these. REI nailing it with the swiftland clothes. I did size up, I'm usually a medium in leggings/shorts but got these in a large. They're super light and a great length. Perfect pockets. Can't go wrong for hiking or the gym.
These suck - bring back the Take Your Time shorts!
These are really unbreathable and squeeze out fat. I don't know why they got rid of the Take your Time line and kept these. Please bring back the other shorts REI!
Good shorts
These shorts are lovely. The fit is good and they don’t ride up or drift down. The fabric feels good on the body. Pockets are perfect.
My favorite choice for running
Amazing shorts for running. Great and huge pockets and very comfortable!
