Sizing Notes
Measurements are stated in inches unless otherwise indicated. Size chart values represent body measurements, not garment measurements.
SHORT: Some pants are available in short sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 2.5 inches shorter than regular sizes.
TALL: Some pants, shirts, jackets and parkas are available in tall sizes, which generally means an inseam that is 3 inches longer and a rise that is 1 inch longer, a shirt or jacket body that is 2 inches longer, a parka body that is 2.5 inches longer and sleeves that are 2.5 inches longer than regular sizes.
Capri or cropped pants have an intentionally shorter inseam—reference the technical specs instead of this chart.

Perfect running short for mid distance runs
I was looking for a lightweight running short for the 5 - 10 mile distance in the heat and found these. They are perfect, light, and can fit one gel in each side pocket. A phone fits perfect in the zip pocket if you needed to bring that along. I knocked a star off because the liner could be a little bigger and supportive, but overall a great short. I'm 5'10, 165 lbs and the medium fits perfect.
Wanted to love these
I want to love these, but the liner is kind of ruining it for me. These are great shorts in almost everyway, love the fit, love the waist band, love the pockets, especially the increased size of the rear one (from previous generation). My only problem, and it's a bit of a big one, is the liner. The brief style is not it for me. I'm always mildly aware of it, it always feels like my...stuff...is about to come out, it's just not great. If it had more of a boxer brief style like the 7" I would be majorly in love with these shorts.
Not a fan of the brief style liner
Bought multiple pairs before they changed the liner to a brief style liner from the original compressions short style liner. Not a fan of the new liner as much. Definitely preferred the compression liner underneath. Overall great shorts with good zip pocket on the back.
Need better liner
Need to improve the lining on these. The 7" version is designed much better. Everything else is great but had to return because the support was so poor.
Very well designed shorts.
I’m very impressed with the design and thoughtfulness that went into these shorts I love having small pockets for keys AirPods and phone. Also the fabric is super airy and comfortable. I would typically run with a 7 inch inseam but I really like these.
Light running shorts
I just received these and went for a 5 mile tempo run. These shorts are so light and airy, it's like wearing nothing. These are my new warm/hot weather shorts and my marathon race shorts. I'll be buying more.
Great running short at a fair price
These shorts are very lightweight, fit well, the fabric is very soft and the pockets and seams are well made.
Running
Perfect for running. I ran in one and then bought another pair.
