Flattering fit
I’m extremely picky about the fit of my athletic shorts and was shocked that these are the best ones I’ve tried on in recent memory. For me, the liner is always too tight or covers too little and constantly has to be tugged at. The liner on these is generous and the elastic isn’t too tight. While there is some riding up while working out and running (I’ve never not experienced this with shorts), it doesn’t seem as bad as with other shorts. The fit is very flattering, especially from the back - I always prefer when shorts have that curved seam across the butt, the fabric drapes so much better. I also really like the cut of the legs in the front where the hem curves up towards the side slit. I feel like they could make that curve even a little more pronounced since it’s such a flattering cut! Downsides - the waistband might be a litttttle flimsy compared to other shorts with a similar waistband. My running belt drags it down a touch in front. It’s a very comfortable fit but we’ll see how it holds up over time. I also wish the REI logo wasn’t so prominent on the front, it’s just kind of ugly. But even still, I would definitely buy more if other colors are introduced!
Great for racing
Three pockets to fit gels and maybe keys/cards. The zipper pocket fit my iPhone 13 Pro which came in handy for my recent marathon. I felt very little bounce but suggest tying the shorts as much as possible. I really liked how thin the shorts were and how secure the wait band felt. My only issue was I chafed for the first time in forever with these but that might have been bc my shorts were covered in water from pouring it all over me during a very hot marathon.
Favorite Running Shorts
Comfortable airy running shorts with a brief liner. The 3" inseam provides the perfect length for a 5'1" runner. The waistband back zipped pocket only allows for a credit card and ID. Be sure to tie the drawcord before washing otherwise it will become twisted and it is difficult to smooth out. I wish more colors were offered in this 3" mid-rise short.
Favorite running shorts
I love these shorts! I purchased them after owning the Swiftland 5in and thought these may be too short but not so! For me they are breathable and secure. I love the built-in pockets in the back. I use them for running
the best
The absolute BEST running short. Perfect length… I need every color!
