Shame about the removal of the lining
a year ago
I have the older version of this short with the two pockets and the liner from I think 2022. I must say I think this lined version with the two pockets were far superior to the unlined version.

Best Running Shorts
a year ago
In a rush I purchased the shorts as my standard shorts have started to fall short. Bought three pairs and the boxers as well. So light, great fit, almost like they aren’t even there. Fit is right where I expected, which is always great when ordering online. The intention is for them to be trail shorts but no issues with rolling them on the road.

Everything but the sizing 100%
a year ago
Want to love them. I have bought the medium and returned and bought the small. Year later bought the medium. Small is too small, medium is too big. According to the numerical sizing chart I am a size 31 which equates to 83cm waist (which is what I am exactly), and a 98cm hip, (which I am also exactly), these only come in the alpha sizing in which a size S equates to a 81cm waist and 95cm hip and a size M equates to an 86cm waist and a 100cm. So S is 2cm too small, and M is 3cm too large. Now I am a fit guy ,10% body fat, very active in the gym, ski patrol, etc.. and theres nothing I can do about my hip size, cant gain or lose muscle to fit. Kind frustrating to find sizing. Do a size revision (for all bottoms for that matter) and you got 5 starts a customer for life for bottoms.

Sick pants, could use some more room
a year ago
Material and quality are great but the crotch area has very little room. Basically its not very discrete down there however this could be a result of my larger thighs which fills up the pants in ways it wasn't meant to. I understand this is a running short and not designed for body builders but I still think the design could be improved to suit a wider range of body types. Still love the shorts and will wear them anyway. Also note before buying that there are no pockets except a little pouch on the back of your waist!

Beware of customer service
a year ago
Bought these for my son’s birthday. There was a defect
around the waistband with a 4 inch hole that appeared 2 weeks after purchasing. We are still working on an exchange. The hoops that we are having to jump through have been frustrating. It has been slow and ridiculous. With the high price tag, damaged product and poor customer service I cannot recommend this product.

Lightest shorts I own
a year ago
I've been testing a range of higher quality shorts lately and decided to give these overpriced shorts a try and boy am I glad I did. My use case for them would be runs(3-5k), pickleball, and anything high intensity. I can confirm that these shorts are great for any physical activity I've put them through, even lounging around the apartment. Its amazing how they make the material so light and thin yet feel so premium at the same time. It really blows my mind on the comfort level and the fit. I am about 5'6 with a slim athletic asian male body and the size small are perfect. I much prefer 5" seams over 7" after getting these, even though I do have the incendo shorts at 7" which are also amazing. My only con with these shorts is the back pocket. It's small. Tough to fit my iPhone 14 pro with a case back there. It's just big enough to fit my small set of keys which is what I am bringing out on my runs. Maybe they got rid of front pockets to save on lightness but the 7" version of these shorts have 2 back pockets which I would really prefer on these. Now when I wear them, I just have to be conscious of bringing a cross body bag or backpack to carry extra belongings.
Q: Pros:
A: high quality, lightweight
Q: Cons:
A: small pocket
Q: Activity
A: pickleball, running, bouldering/climbing

Unlined & Limited pocket
a year ago
The material is nice, but that's about it. There is no liner boxer/brief. There is 1 pocket in the back and it's not large enough to hold a phone -- maybe keys and 1-gel. That's it.
There needs to be more and a larger pockets and briefs otherwise this is a non-starter for most runners.
Q: Pros:
A: fabric
Q: Cons:
A: non-liner, poor storage
Q: Activity
A: running

Great Unlined 5" Shorts
2 years ago
Most running brands seem to exclusively produce lined shorts, meaning I (and others who prefer to wear running underwear) have had to cut the liner out. These are the best unlined running shorts I have found. They're also light and have a secure back pocket that will comfortably fit several gels.
Q: Pros:
A: Unlined, light, fits several gels
Q: Cons:
A: Size L is bigger than other brands
Q: Activity
A: Running
Q: Your Height:
A: 6'2"
Yes, I recommend this product.
