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!"

I wish the side pockets
"I wish the side pockets were stretchier. I can't easily fit my phone in and out with a case, and on the first rail run I used these on, I lost my hydration flask out of the back pocket. I'm not going to return them, I've already used them, but I find myself already shopping for new half tights after two runs, not the place I want to be after spending $100. Well made, other than that, but unfortunately those are big deals to me. :("

Worst chafing ever
"As mentioned in my other review for the sprint short, these shorts gave me the worst chafing ever experienced. While it only occurs after 10+ miles, I am disappointed that such an expensive product advertised as no chafing would produce such extreme chafing. Their support recommended wearing clothing underneath, but that defeats why i bought them and I honestly don’t know how anything underneath them would work. Unfortunately their refund policy doesn’t allow returns, even though I have had them less than a month. The quality is obviously there, but the seams on the inner thigh rubs horribly after long runs. I wish for the price the result was better. As it is now, I can only wear them for my shorter runs, not ideal."

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."

"I recommend to size up as they suggest. I liked the extra pockets. However, the phone pocket barely fits my iPhone 15. Overall great feel! I would highly recommend!"

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!"
