Basket Lining Too Restrictive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike ACG "Lava Loops" Men's Dri-FIT ADV 1/2-Length Trail Running Tights had some smart design choices that made these appealing for running and cycling, however the restrictive basket was too uncomfortable to make up for the other highlights. The basket was very tight and restrictive, the binding was stiff and dug in. I would prefer a shorts length lining instead of a brief style. The outer layer fabric is very comfortable, breathable, and moved well while active. The pockets are very handy for keeping small items like electrolytes or snacks. Overall, there are some smart design elements, but the basket is a dealbreaker for me.
Snug but Comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ACG Lava Loop shorts are fantastic compression shorts that are great to wear either under a pair of athletic shorts or as a stand alone pair. The fit in a snug way that allows both side pockets to secure a phone or wallet while running and/or doing other athletic activities with minimal movement. I wore them for both HIIT workouts and for runs over five miles and was incredibly happy with the fit. Further, the zipper pocket on the back of the waistband was great for holding extra energy packets for a longer run. I will say that my legs are on the skinnier side and even with my somewhat slighter legs they held well. I would highly recommend them for any workout in any conditions. Overall a great addition to the workout drawer.
Multi Terrain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Active mom of four here. We are always traveling. Living the in the bay area, were moments from the beach and minutes from the mountains. My youngest (and last) is two and I finally feel able to run as a part of my self care regime. Even with my size, these are comfortable and supportive of my post pregnancy belly. They stay in place, no riding up or bunching or chafing. They even double as trunks. Traveling, I decided to see how my favorite workout shorts held up against Folsom Lake, CA. It was awesome. They dry really fast, the built in chonies eliminate the need for underwear. You won't get a better product. If you are looking for a pair of running shorts that will not run down, something to keep up with your fire, these are it.
Multipurpose training short
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my new favorite pair of workout shorts. They feel great but best of all they are more functional than another shorts I own. They are tight for stretching and HIIT workouts, keeping me secure and my phone in place when I need to run. Then they move right to walking the dog with good pockets for treats and keys. They look great the tie on the outside is the perfect location. Different colors is the only change i would make
ACG Half Tights
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After seeing an increase in the half tights/compression style at various races, I was interested to give them a try. After wearing them in a few runs, I can understand why the Nike ACG tights are widely used across trail running at all distances. I wouldn’t hesitate to wear these for any ultra distance even though I wore them on a few shorter runs. They’re incredibly comfortable, cut down on rubbing and fit true to size. The “storage” with various pockets eliminates the need for a waist belt (or vest on shorter runs) as they can fit your phone, keys, and gels. I was also impressed with the ability for these to hold poles. My only critique is the liner, but that’s a personal preference as I’m not a big fan of liners. Other than that, these are great. Fabric feels like it would hold up for a long time and is a product that I look forward to using in my future ultras.
Perfect!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These running tights are perfect for the summer. They run true to size and have a drawstring to make sure they fit well. They reduce chafing when running or biking and they fit snuggly so they do not move during exercise. They have a lot of snug pockets as well. I was able to wear these under basketball shorts or on their own as they have good coverage. They wash well and have not stretched or discolored. Great product!
Extremely comfortable!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nike ACG Lava Loops Men's Dri-FIT ADV 1/2-Length Trail Running Tights have exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I put them on, the fit felt supportive without being restrictive, providing excellent comfort for both short runs and long trail adventures. The Dri-FIT ADV technology does an outstanding job of wicking away sweat, keeping me cool and dry even during intense workouts in warm weather. The material is lightweight, breathable, and incredibly soft against the skin, yet durable enough to handle rugged trail conditions. What impressed me most was the thoughtful design. The tights stay securely in place without constant adjustment, and the stretch fabric allows complete freedom of movement on steep climbs, technical terrain, and fast descents. The pockets are practical and well-positioned, making it easy to carry essentials without any bouncing or discomfort.
Awesome shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Nike ACG "Lava Loops" Men's Dri-FIT ADV 1/2-Length Trail Running Tights fit like a glove. Super soft and flexible yet tight enough to stay on and not chafe during a long run. Perfectly opaque so as to not be embarrassed by unfortunate see-through issues. Love all the pockets to carry necessities. They are also a great length, hitting a few inches above the knee. Highly recommend.
Great pair of shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these for my husband for his runs. He liked the overall fit and structure of the shorts. The pockets and strategic placement of them help organize all this things while on his longer treks. They have a mesh lining that helps keep things in place, but he feels like they could have a little more give to allow some breathing room. There’s minimal chafing but a tad bit too much compression for his comfort. The fabric is top of the line and you can definitely feel the quality of this product. These are great shorts but could have a slightly roomier groin area, which is why I only have 4 stars.
Great design and the pocket is clutch, just ran a little snug for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grabbed these for trail running and also wore them as a base layer under my regular gym shorts. The design is great and the pocket is honestly my favorite part, really handy for keeping stuff secure while I'm moving. Comfort was solid too. In the heat they held up fine and didn't get in my way. My one real issue is the fit. I went with a large and they still ran a little tight on me. Nothing wrong with the product itself, they're just not something I see myself reaching for on a regular basis. If you like a snug, compression style fit you'll probably get along with them better than I did.
