The best out there
"I’ve worn wolaco half tight in various races, 5k’s half marathons etc. I’m on my 3rd pair and my 1st still looks brand new haha. I’ve yet to find a better kit to manage phone, gels etc. Almost all of my daily runs are in my Wolaco’s, highly recommend!"

Best half tights in the world
"I've never experienced anything like these half tights. I get sad when I wear them because I know that I won't be able to wear them the next day. That just means I'm gonna have to buy more of these. Best quality half tights available"

Not bad
"Phone pocket could be slightly wider for a galaxy 25 with a slim case, it's not simple to put the phone away and it takes two hands. Waist is kinda high. Gel pockets are minimalistic, haven't thoroughly tested the retention."

"Barely used them for the first time for a long distance race and shorts already got ruined. Fabric started to wear off. It’s a shame these shorts are $128+ and can’t stand one run. Never again! Should have trusted actual customers than those influencers online."

My NYC marathon tight
"I love the Wolaco half tights. This is my second pair I have ordered. I have the 8" tight and wanted to try the 10". As it turns out I like the 8" better so have since exchanged the 10" pair however, the Wolaco half tight is my choice for NYC Marathon this year."

Great fit and comfortable
"Great fit with no chafing and great padding for the crotch so it’s not too visible. Love running then working out in them after with seamless transitions. My iPhone 16 pro max fits in the pocket with a case and does not fall out or get in my way."

My daughters were right about “Wolaco’s. ”
"My daughters, both avid runners, talked about their “Wolaco’s” so much that I decided to try a pair. I was skeptical about the price and had never worn half tights before. After wearing them on several long runs, from 8 to 19 miles, I’m a big fan. I’m running the Marine Corps Marathon next month and plan to buy another pair with a longer inseam. I love my Wolaco’s!"

Great short - not great size chart
"The tights are great, but I think there's a lack of sizing information on the site. I'm about 5'8 and have pretty big and muscular quads/hamstrings - from a lot of squatting/lunges and just genetically. Waist wise I run about a 31, so I ordered a Medium. The tights ride up a lot due to being too tight around the thighs so I end up pulling them down quite often which is a bit annoying. I'd imagine a size large would rectify that issue. All that to say, the model pictures for the tights typically show "runner" bodies with leaner and skinnier legs. It would be cool to address or at least show what the different sizes look like on different body types and skeletal structures. May have swayed me to size up on this and get a pair that didn't ride up so much."

Overpriced
"1. Cell phone pocket is to small if you have any protection like an OtterBox on your iPhone. Especially if you’re sweaty, your phone doesn’t slide back in. 2. There should be two gel pockets on the left hand side instead of one it just doesn’t hold enough. Stack one about the other. 3. Gels bounce out of the backpack pocket. 4. You’re just not getting enough for 130 bucks."

Enjoying
"I’ve really been enjoying my WOLACO running shorts\. I’ve worn them on several long training runs, and they’ve stayed comfortable and supportive the whole time\. They fit securely without feeling too tight, and the pockets hold my phone and other essentials without any annoying bouncing. The only small issue is that the phone holder is too tight for my iPhone 18 Max. As the miles add up during marathon training, comfort makes a big difference, and these shorts have been great. They’re lightweight, breathable, and easy to wear for longer runs\. They’ve quickly become one of my favorite pieces of running gear. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone training for a half marathon, marathon, or simply logging a lot of miles\."
