Get Your Size Right

Terrific shorts. Light and well made. Needs another zip pocket. Size was slightly smaller than stated.

Review Update

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last summer I purchased the Breakaway 3" shorts in both lime and black. My only problem was with the waistband curling because of the "notch" in my own waist. But training for a marathon I lost a few pounds and my notch is less noticeable. So when the neo blue color went on sale, I ordered a pair in that color, too. In Mississippi's heat and humidity, they are cool and comfortable; and since winter weather comes in days around here, I get chances to wear them pretty much year-round! I like the inner pocket for keys and the side zip pocket for a couple of gels on a longer run. Now I give it five stars instead of four!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the shorts. The side slit isn't as long as it seems in the photo, but they're not bad. I'd buy them again to use for training.

Breakaway With These Shorts

I absolutely love this short. Although I was worried about the length it is perfect on some warm days. It is comfortable lightweight and moves well.

Great race short. Comfortable for long runs and hot days.

Great Fit, Needs Another Pocket

great fit, true to size, light and comfortable. I wish there was more than one pocket.

Light And Comfortable But Zipper Pocket Is Low Quality

I bought these shorts from a local running store primarily because they were on the shorter side, had a split, and had a zipper pocket. The shorts themselves are very comfortable, breathable, and light, even in the hot summer months but still feel like they are made from good materials. Although it may vary person to person, I noticed that the shorts tended to ride up a little bit if I did not knot the drawstring pretty tightly. However, even when the drawstring was tight, the shorts were still very comfortable. The only issue I've had so far is with the zipper pocket. I primarily use the pocket to store my house key on runs. Since the pocket is on the front of the thigh as opposed to on the back of the shorts, it feels like my keys jostle around a little more. I stopped at a crosswalk during one run and noticed that because my keys had been moving around, they had poked a hole through the lining of the pocket and had started to work their way out. This was probably my third or fourth run in the shorts. It's a little disappointing to have the pocket get a hole after that many runs, especially as the shorts are pretty nice in all other respects and the zipper pocket was a big selling point for me. The shorts definitely have a place in my rotation, but I will need to find another solution to store my house keys.

Since shorter casual shorts are coming back into style, I'm not as self-conscious wearing shorter running shorts. These are nice for hot summer morning runs, comfortable and cool, and dry fast, especially with a light breeze. An inside pocket in the left front can hold keys or ID, while a zipper pocket on the left seam can hold a mid-run snack or a couple of gels without falling out, and they're easy to reach. Like the Sherpas, I still have a little trouble with the waistband rolling on me, but I think that's due to the "notch" in my waist rather than the shorts themselves. I now have these both in black and limeade and may get the neo blue soon.

Super light, good fit, and great zipper pocket on the side. Best shorts I’ve bought in a while!

Perfect Fir The Heat

Shorts fit well. Zippered pocket is a plus. Excellent range of motion.
