Utilitarian
11 months ago
I've owned these for just shy of two summers now and absolutely love them. The zippered side pockets are fantastic and useful for holding a wallet or sunglasses. Great wind resistance in the front panels along with a breathable back. However, the material in the rear may be a tad fragile. I've worn them cycling and hanging around the city for a few months and I can already see a small hole in the seat of the shorts. Additionally, I find the back exterior tag/loop with the Veilance logo completely unnecessary for this aesthetic. Useful product all in all.

Delamination after wearing a few times.
a year ago
I enjoyed wearing the pants, but after six months I had problems with delamination. Returned the shorts with warrenty i got a 20% discount code, which was really disappointing. Asked for a replacement, but this was not possible. Next time i think twice to buy products like this.

Clean Veilance aesthetic, a fitted/tapered cut, and very lightweight. Hidden side zipper pockets are well-placed for gym visits (won't sit on your keys/wallet). Front material blocks wind and is not stretchy, back material stretches. Quality is comparably low on these, rendering them not worth the money- after only a few gym sessions they have multiple pulls and pilling. Yes, they're Veilance and not Arc, but it's a gym short, is it not?

Great, but...
a year ago
Great product but experienced some delamination issues with the fabric. The warranty covers a replacement but I need to pay for shipping the shorts back before I get a voucher to purchase a replacement. I have to pay for the shipping costs.

Favorite Short
3 years ago
I just bought a second pair. I can wear these out, or wear them to the gym. I've even worn them to do some sport climbing outside. Love the zippered pockets. The fabric is breathable while still being pretty abrasion resistant. They basically feel like running shorts but have all the features I want out of a more serious short. I also have the pants for slightly cooler weather. I sized down to an XS for the slimmer fit, as the S was a little looser than I'd want. I'm a 29 waist.
Q: Pros:
A: 4 pockets, lightweight, breathable
Q: Cons:
A: ?
Q: Activity
A: Biking, Brunch, Climbing, Gym, Volleyball

Great for working out
3 years ago
These are great for summer, you can wear these to work out or wear on hot days. I like the composite design, thicker wind and water resistant material at the front, and stretchy
airy thinner material for the other 2/3 of the shorts. Super light.
For sizing, if you are a size 32, the correct size is small (not medium). Medium is size 34, which for me was quite baggy. They stretch after a few wears.
Q: Activity
A: Gym, summer
