I wore these for the first time on a 7 mile run today and I decided mid- run to order another pair as soon as I got home. These are my favorite new running leggings for warmer weather! I had gels and keys in the side pockets and phone in the back pocket and everything was super secure, the leggings did n't ride down or move during the run at all, which I find usually happens with a phone pocket. I wish I had these for the half marathon I ran last week! I love that I do n't need to wear a running belt with these since they hold so much. The leggings are super comfortable, flattering, and did n't need any stretch or wear- in period. I 've tried many pairs of cropped running leggings over the years and they either do n't have pockets, pockets are n't big enough, they ride down, the thigh band is too tight, etc.- these do n't have any of those issues!

5 MargieB
I absolutely love these shorts! I have 2 pair of Method 8 '' and these fit much better. The waistband is very similar to the Momentum thermal tights, with a nice snug fit. And these are true to Brooks tagline `` We 've done our job if you forget you 're wearing our gear. ''

5 AngRuns
These are my favourite shorts to run in. They are comfortable and do n't ride up. The pockets are wide enough to fit my phone in and it gives me confidence that my keys and phone are secure. I ran an ultra marathon( 40 miles) in these and I had no problems. I tried and tested a few brands before I found these shorts( others rub or ride up). I would definitely recommend and I 'll be buying another pair.

5 CabellC
It is all about the pockets! I ran in these shorts for fall marathon. The longer length is nice on my 60 year old legs. The pocket in the back waistband is perfect for your phone. Sometimes Brooks run big, but these were true to size. Amble room for nutrition.

5 AbigailS
Bought this 8 ” short after loving the 5 ” but wanting a longer option- the pockets are amazing, and the shorts never budge or ride up, even after 20 miles. The screenprinted logo is peeling off after just a few washes, and I wish this short came in a 6 ” or 7 ” middle option, but overall fantastic gear.

[ These shorts are my new go to for my casual running. It ’s currently winter where I am so pretty cold but I still wear shorts while running on warmer days. I will be wearing them full time as soon as spring gets here. They are comfortable and very breathable. I enjoy the thin fabric but thicker liner on the under layer. The band around my waist provides control for the areas of my belly that aren ’ t fully toned. There ’s a small pocket in the back to clip phone or headphones, what have you. The design on them is just enough without being loud. I like a darker short. These have the perfect cut along the thigh so not to rub and cause friction while running.

5 Rim
[ I never thought I ’ d be excited about running shorts, but the Women ’s Chaser 3 ” Short 2. 0 in blue proved me wrong! The fit is perfect, not too tight, not too loose, and the fabric feels weightless, making every step effortless. The waistband is soft and stays put, even when I ’ m moving around a lot. Plus, the built- in liner is super comfortable and doesn ’ t ride up( a huge win!). The color is a gorgeous shade of blue that stands out just enough. Whether I ’ m at the gym or just running errands, these shorts keep me cool and comfy. Definitely a staple in my workout wardrobe. now I just need more colors!

5 Lyn
[ The Women ’s Chaser 3 '' Short 2. 0 exceeded my expectations in every way! The fit and feel are fantastic—soft, lightweight, and breathable with just the right amount of stretch. They move effortlessly with you, whether you 're running, hiking, or just out and about. The built- in liner is incredibly soft and provides full coverage without feeling restrictive. Design- wise, they nailed it! The 3 '' length is flattering without being too short, and the flowy cut allows for a full range of motion. The drawstring waist ensures a perfect fit, even if you need to adjust throughout your workout. The fabric is high- quality—moisture- wicking, quick- drying, and super comfortable even on long runs or hot days. I love that they feel so lightweight yet durable at the same time. What I love most: The hidden side zip pocket is discreet but perfectly sized for a house key, locker key, or small essentials. Plus, the back waistband pouch is genius! It ’s ideal for carrying a card, parking pass, or even a phone( depending on size and activity). These small but thoughtful details make these shorts incredibly functional for on- the- go lifestyles. If I could change one thing, it might be adding an option for a slightly deeper pocket for larger phones—but honestly, these are near perfect as they are! Overall, if you ’ re looking for versatile, well- designed, and ultra- comfortable active shorts, the Chaser 3 ” 2. 0 is a must- have. True to size, stylish, and packed with thoughtful features—highly recommend!

5 MKEmama
[ These are the times that I wished I lived in a warmer climate. The Brooks Chaser 3 '' Short 2. 0 are everything I want in a short. Soft fabric, cute design, cut to not creep, plenty of pockets! Unfortunately, it's winter, so they have n't been my go- to due to weather. I 've tested them out during my limited indoor workouts, but they have n't let me down. I love the big back pocket to fit my ID and a locker key. The backside also had a dependable zipper pocket which will be useful on longer runs this spring/summer/fall. The waistband is a bit wider, which I personally really like and has a hidden drawstring if needed. I 'm currently 31 weeks pregnant and it fits comfortably under my belly because of the stretchy fabric. Looking forward to a lot more use in the coming months!

5 Ricksauce
[ I got these runner shorts for my wife as she needed some that were comfortable and airy while she ran. She doesn ’ t like the tight biker style shorts that are usually on the market so I thought I ’ d get her these. She loves them and wants to get more in these style as well.

5 KrystalH
I normally don ’ t write reviews. But these are by far some of the most comfortable and flattering running shorts I ’ ve worn in a long time! I ’ m 5 ’ 5 ” 115lbs and the XS was perfect. Waistband just right, not too tight or loose, and the rise is in- between typical mid- rise and high- rise so I don ’ t feel like I ’ m having to roll them down or pull them up to be flattering. Sitting down they don ’ t bunch up. I went back and bought them in every color. Just buy them for yourself before they sell out!

[ I ’ ve always loved spandex shorts, whether alone or under other shorts. These have pockets, so you dint have to worry about where to put your phone, chapstick etc. The black is great as someone who sweats, as they don ’ t show any marks. They ’ re also sweat wicking and super comfortable.

5 Nwiltsey
[ These are great athletic shorts! These are size small and fit me really well. I ’ m pretty scrawny, right now but if I weighed a little bit more, I would probably go up to a medium. They do come with an interior draw string to tighten up the waist if need be. There a handy zipper pocket in the back with is my favorite feature! It ’s perfect for a couple of small essentials. And the pockets on the side are perfect for your phone! These shorts also have cute little reflective details. Love them!

5 Kramer212
[ I usually do not wear shorts like this. I like my denim shorts for all occasions. However I have been trying to walk and exercise more often and the denim is uncomfortable. I decided that this was a good time to step out of my comfort zone and try something new and different. These Nike shorts exceeded my expectations. The fit is perfect and they are so comfortable. My family remarked that they looked great on me. They were so comfortable that I now wear them for other occasions and not just exercise. The design is attractive and the shorts are high quality material. I love that there is a pocket on both sides. I can keep my phone in one pocket and my keys in the other one. There is also a zip pocket on the back waistband. The zipper is not noticeable. Once you put these on you will not want to take them off. They will look great and be very comfortable. Buy a pair and see for yourself. You will not be disappointed. I need more of these in my life!

5 mamabee888
[ I ’ m usually picky when it comes to biker shorts because they ’ re pretty much all I wear during the spring/summer months. I love these ones specifically because they ’ re form fitting and flattering( they hide the mom pouch!) and they ’ re very comfortable. They ’ re size accurate and come down to a nice length for biker shorts, they ’ re not too short and seem appropriate for most situations especially during the summer since there ’s no pattern/giant logo so you could easily dress them up with a longer dressier shirt or pair with any shirt to go work out. I ’ m very excited to have these shorts!

5 Kelly
[ As an active stay at home mom, I pretty much live in leggings or biker/running shorts. These shorts are so comfortable. The material is on the thicker side and is SUPER soft and buttery. They feel very high quality. I love the depth of the pockets( both sides!). They fit my phone and keys and I don ’ t have to worry that they ’ re going to fall out. If you ’ re thinking about buying these shorts, just do it! You won ’ t be disappointed.
