[ Great relaxing shorts, it feels like nothing is there lol

It has cool side pockets and the big back pocket. The back pocket feels slightly too tight for the phone, but it keeps it from bouncing inside the pocket.

Love the big pocket on the back and the pole holders seem to have more room to fit my trekking poles better, compared to previous versions. Great running shorts.

These shorts are super comfortable, stretchy, the green color is beautiful, and the fabric is somehow really magically cooling. I would highly recommend the matching sets. The only con I would note is that I find they don ’ t really have a compression effect so if you ’ re looking for something that will hold you in these are more stretchy. I personally like this about them and think it makes them more comfortable.

5 Izzy
Love the color, the fit, the lil pocket in the back. I feel like a cute leprechaun. Very smoothing and the seam details are nice

5 Char
My new favorite bike shorts! These are a little shorter on me, but I don ’ t mind. They are extremely comfortable material.

[ My son loves them so much, that refuses take them out.

5 Rxtofu
Very roomy, key loop is convenient. Quality is fantastic and so is the material.

5 Tofu
I wear shorts 90% of the time and these blew my mind. The quality is so different from all the others I ’ ve tried. Lots of thigh room for making leaps or stretching legs far apart. Key loop is a game changer and the branding holds up in the dryer. Highly recommend.

5 TAFB
The fit and length of these shorts are great. I like how short and high above the knee they are. Keep in mind they are kind of high waisted, otherwise you 'll feel the shorts pulling funny while you walk.
