Running

These work great for long distance running. I love the way they fit on my body and they move with me when I’m running. They are breathable, and a great quality. Read more

Not too short. Perfect length.

Jeff PlisskenAugust 4, 2025✓ Verified purchase

These are great shorts. Don't let the 3" inseam scare you away. The "rise" is pretty long so the hem of the shorts come to about middle of the thigh. The model pics are accurate. Ordered the medium size and the waist is 15" long unstretched, and the outer seam is 13" long. They are sized exactly. So if you prefer a looser fit, then order a size up. The material is a bit thin. This is a plus and minus. It's very light so it's great for longer runs. But it tends to stick to your skin when you're really sweaty. Also, if you have a beefy legs and behind, the thin material might attract some attention. Haha. Order a size up otherwise. The material has some stretch to it, but not a lot. If your planning to use these as gym short, order a size up because they might rip from doing deep squats. Only dislike is the outer drawstring. It might come undone if you wear some type of hydration belt on your runs. But not really a deal breaker for me. Read more

The perfectly balanced short

Lucas B.April 17, 2025✓ Verified purchase

These shorts are my absolute favorite for both running and hitting the gym. They fit perfectly, with a waistband that isn’t too tight, yet they stay securely in place during my runs. The length is ideal, allowing me to wear them comfortably to the gym without feeling exposed. Read more

No pockets

Only an inner key pocket. That, plus the cheap feel of the fabric meant a Return for me at this price point. Read more

Well made - fits & performs well

Ronald McClinticDecember 9, 2024✓ Verified purchase

My old New Balance shorts - I have worn for many years fit perfectly and performed above expectations are just totally worn out. The NB shorts are super quality - fits as expected - however my old NB shorts had a under scrotum support system which I greatly appreciated. None of the new models offer the option Read more
