Reviews
Awesome shorts
"I wasn’t sure how I’d like these, but they are really nice! I am very much a minimalist when it comes to long runs, so the pockets are incredible! The green is such a cool color. I LOVE the phone pocket, it really is water proof. I wish there were two pockets like that on both sides and I do love the key pocket too! They do ride up a bit the first mile but stay put after that. Would 100% buy again"

They do not ride up
"I am 51 with thicker muscular thighs. I’ve been experiencing chafing a long runs with other shorts. I tried these shorts. They are incredible. Absolutely no chafing. They do not write up at all. They do not have rubber on the inner rims so I do not know how they stay in place but they do. I don’t think I would run my marathons in anything but these going forward."

My go to shorts for long distance runs
"Obsessed is an understatement. I have a smaller waist and larger hips and thighs and usually struggle with shorts rolling. These don’t move anywhere, but also don’t constrict! The fabric is amazing, the phone pocket is so secure you forget your phone is there, and it has enough pockets for all other gels/fuel you don’t need a vest. Highly recommend!"

Fits perfectly, doesn't rub or

Super comfy- tight on the
"Super comfy- tight on the thighs but not around the waist. Other brands can feel too tight after long miles, but these move withy body. Only complaint: my cell doesn’t fit in the pocket without a good fight to get it in & wish it sat lower, not on my hip."

Love the shorts. Shipping and duties to Canada outrageous
"I love the products. But I won’t be ordering again. I paid extra to have them delivered sooner. Then when I did get them I had to pay an additional 100.00 Canadian to get them. You absolutely could have shipped them another way to not have this order be outrageous"

Bad fit and poor execution
"The size chart says if you’re in between sizes order a size up. For compression shorts, I expected the medium to be too tight, so I ordered a large. It’s way too big on me. It doesn’t feel like there is compression at all and when I run with my phone in the pocket the shorts start to slip down below my waist. I did adjust the drawstring tight so that they don’t, but I feel like I shouldn’t have to do that with compression shorts. Also, the side pocket for the phone barely fits my iPhone, I had to force it in and ultimately put it in the smaller pocket to keep the shorts at my waist. The pockets both seem too snug. I thought with the larger pocket I might be able to hold my collapsible water bottle on a long run, but it doesn’t fit, the pocket is too narrow. I am really disappointed as I have never paid this much for running bottoms and they are nothing special and are a pain to keep from slipping down. Since I wore them I can’t return them, so buyer beware."

New Favorite Running Shorts
"Comfortable, great fit, don't ride up, and good pockets. Everything you want in a running short. Love them."

I wanted to love these
"I wanted to love these shorts but they were just a bit too short for me. The 4" is too short and the 7" is too long. Please make them in 5" like bandit does! I would buy them again in a heartbeat!"

My new favorite running shorts
"I've been so excited to run with these shorts for my second marathon. It has plenty of pockets for my gels, phone, and Airpods. They stayed in place and had plenty of room for period days."
