      The best shorts for long distance runners

      a month ago
      I've now worn these shorts for two marathons. They are absolutely the perfect running shorts: not too short, not too long, don't ride up, high waisted but not too high, and tons of storage and pockets for long runs. For women with thicker athletic thighs, these are perfect. They are pricey but worth it. I own two pairs and they are pretty much the only shorts I wear for runs longer than 12 miles. The absolute best.

        Beautiful and perfect

        a month ago
        I love these shorts. Obsessed with them. I don't usually do this, but I am seriously thinking about buying another pair even though they're pricey. I have short legs and thick thighs, and they fit beautifully, and the inseam isn't unflatteringly long or obscenely short. The rubber at the bottom of the legs keeps it in place really well. The pockets are awesome awesome awesome. I even like the soulsonic color. I am just totally soooo happy.

          Best shorts to for a complete running quiver

          2 months ago
          These shorts are my favourite running shorts ever because they are a wonderful "tool" to add to anyone's running quiver. They can be worn as a simple pair of shorts, or function as a running belt for those days when you want to carry a flask or a small stowable layer, phone, gel and keys. I also love the possibility to carry an extra flask in there when going for a longer mission that requires a trail vest. The fit is great and bounce is minimal. I'm a 170cm, 68kg athletic fit and a size 6 works well. Durability is great! I've had these since their first iteration (since the old back pocket & without the grip dots) and they last. A few notes: Just need a bit of care when washing/drying with the tape seams that will come undone faster if not hang-dried. The first version of the Essent shorts had a different seam in the front which I found way more comfortable as this one lands in a strange spot for me and becomes uncomfortable some days, but not enough to want another short.

            Best marathon shorts ever

            3 months ago
            I swear I’ve tried every brand of “spandex shorts” in existence and these are by far the best. I primarily use them for road racing — from 3k to marathon — and nothing has come close to these for comfort and practicality. The pockets are deep, easily fitting 26.2 worth of gels and a phone. The fabric is next level, it feels lightweight but wicks sweat in a way I didn’t know was possible. It has good elasticity but somehow stays in place. (The texture dots on the inside of the cuffs are A+) The shorts’ length and cut and high waistband are perfect for me, and they are the only brand not to leave me with a chafe mark at the marathon distance. Now that the 6” is back, I’m going to stock up. Since I’ve only had one pair, I have saved them for race day and extra long runs but it’s hard to go back to others once you’ve had these. I was unsure on the sizing since I was wearing a S/M/L brand. I’m usually a 6 in Lulu but after trying these on I went with a 4 and that was the right call. If you’re in the D.C. area, stop by the downtown store. Justin and his team are amazing and will get you fitted just right.

              Hi! Do you think the mesh pocket would fit a regular 750ml flask?

            Very well made, sturdy everyday mountain short

            4 months ago
            Cute, sturdy shorts for general summer adventuring. Wear these frequently for running, hiking, scrambling, climbing, and even yoga/gym. The material is pretty thick--thicker than previous years' iterations of this short. It has great abrasion resistance, which I need for climbing and scrambling especially. The inseam is a good length--long enough to prevent chafing and stay put under a harness. The inside of the hems have a grippy material that helps further with holding everything in place. Shorts are super stretchy for good range of motion. Pockets on each side are well placed and hold your phone snugly. My only request is honestly that these come in more colors—I'd snap up a few more pair.

              Great shorts for trail running

              4 months ago
              Love these shorts for trail running! This is my 3rd pair, and love the changes this year. Just the right amount of compression, 6” length great, doesn’t ride up, waist is perfect high rise. Side pockets can fit phone, gels and anything else you want without moving or chafing; waistband pockets also handy. For reference, 140lbs, 5’6 with muscular things and size 8 fits perfect.
