Definitely Better Than Naked
I put on these shorts and was amazed at how light and good they felt. After the first use, I decided that I definitely needed to get another pair or two!!

Lightweight
I tried these shorts for the first time, and am so pleased with the lightweight material. I like the little zip pocket in the back for keys etc. The shorts are just the right length, not restricting the movement, and not looking funny after longer runs ... they don't ride up. They feel so good you could forget you are wearing shorts at all. I run about 20-25 miles per week, and these will be my favorite running shorts. Highly recommend, and I also got the matching singlet.

Great running shorts!
I found these shorts a few months ago and fell in love with them - I just ordered 2 more pairs! They are so light and they are the best running shorts I've ever had. I run about 20-30 miles a week and these have always been my favorite pair of shorts - especially for longer runs. These are much lighter/airier than any of my other running shorts and they fit a lot better than the ubiquitous Nike shorts you see everywhere. I also really like the little pockets in the back of the shorts, although the zipper seems somewhat flimsy - I never use the zippered pocket anyway. I would highly recommend these shorts!

Favorite Running Shorts
I usually have a hard time choosing athletic shorts- some are too tight around the waist regardless of size, some are too short, and some get into awkward shapes when you're moving around- not these shorts. The fabric of these shorts is great- soft and breathable- and the fit is comfortable, with the shorts not shifting around too much and a waistband that stays on, but doesn't tug at the skin. My hips, where the shorts lie, are around 38" and a Medium fits well; however, the elastic and materials are such that each size would fit a wide range without discomfort or becoming too loose. Not obvious on the photo are the sits going up the sides of the shorts (between the different colored sections), which help keep them comfortable and avoid awkward shapes while taking long strides and moving around. The top section with the elastic folds over and has a string running through it (the same shade as the contrasting color- in the first photo, blue), presumably to help with fit, but I have not needed it.
