Makes You Feel Speedy And Snug!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LOVE these shorts. The pockets are snug enough to hold my phone with minimal bounce and I just feel speedy in them! Will definitely be getting another pair.

Bring Back Original Chaser

Really didn't like this fit. Been wearing since the original chaser and the previous updated version was ok--but don't like the 2.0. The waist band keeps getting wider so it fits very high on waist and tended to ride up a lot. If you hold them up to each other these are significantly longer--but it is all in the waist. I am a small but typically size up to Med in running shorts.

Sadly Returned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disappointed with the new design! These were my favorite shorts last summer and I was excited to get a new pair this year. My old shorts were a small, but small was too small on 2.0, medium felt too big. The color is great but something about this wide waistband or the fit makes the shorts really ride up. I gave them a try for 2-3 runs and then accepted my fate and returned. Hope to see a return to the old design in the future!

Great Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great running shorts - prefer to the Lululemon ones that I've been wearing for years. Waistband is comfortable and pockets are helpful.

Simply The Best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are quite honestly the best pair of running shorts I've ever owned. For a woman who runs a fair bit (30-40 miles a week), these are almost always the only pair of shorts I want to run in. The fit is amazing. The fabric doesn't bunch up the way most shorts do in the inner thigh. The waist is snug, but in the good way. The inner liner isn't too tight or too loose, and just the right cut. The pockets are perfect for carrying a small iphone, snack, key and headphones. The fabric is light and airy, but not too light like some other shorts. If I could own a dozen pairs of these shorts, I would. The best.

Perfect Spot For My Phone

My favorite thing about these shorts is the waistband, especially that my iPhone fits in the back pocket (instead of like some shorts where it goes on the side and feels like it weighs down one side) I also like that it means I don’t need a running belt for shorter runs or have to carry my phone in my hand. There’s also a slight compression, which I think is nice.

Good But Needs Some Minor Changes

Likes: very comfortable and flattering, drawstring will be nice to have once elastic wears down a bit Dislikes: I miss the back zipper pocket from the previous Chaser short! 99% of an iPhone 16 with a slim case fits in the back pocket, but the 1% that sticks out is just enough to rub an angry chafe line against my back. The front zipper pocket is nice for a car key, but none of the pockets are sweat proof so my key and phone get wet. It's not Brooks' fault that phones these days are heavy and enormous but the back pocket could've been executed better - a zipper would've been really nice and what I would expect given the price.

Great Features

Perfect running short: — love the wide band on the waist.

Comfortable

Comfortable shorts! I few more hidden pockets would make them perfect.

Great Running Shorts

I bought these shorts for my long distance runs and have not been disappointed. They fit really well and the liner is one of the best I have come across. I love how light they feel and they were so comfortable for my long runs. The back pocket is handy although I haven't used it much as I tend to wear a running vest for longer runs. They're my new favourites for sure and will buy in the other colours.

Massive Thigh Openings Render Shorts Unwearable

Weird shorts. I ordered my true size small. (I'm 5'1, 117lbs). The waist is *slightly* big, but it has a drawstring, which I was able to tighten for a secure fit. My glutes had just the right amount of space; if I sized down, I don't think I would've been able to pull the shorts over my butt. But the thigh openings are HUGE. I wore these shorts for a three mile run and these basically turned into a diaper after a few steps. Loose-fit shorts need to have tapered leg openings so excess fabric does not gather between the thighs. I strongly suspect these shorts were only tested on super-slim runners with a thigh gap. I'll be sticking to my tight-fit, biker-style shorts. (For comparison, I'm comfortable in an XS in the Brooks spark shorts.) I'm not plus-sized, but these Chaser shorts were not designed for bodies with any curve to them whatsoever. All of this is too bad, because the waistband is comfortable and the fabric feels very durable. The navy blue swirl print was neutral enough but still fun. I've noticed Brooks hasn't been using many body shape-diverse models lately; I hope this isn't becoming yet another #thinspo running brand. (I'm an active member of my local running community and runners are such a diverse bunch! There's no reason to only feature size 0 giraffes in promo shots). I've already started a return, but I hope Brooks takes this feedback seriously!

New Favorite Shorts

I love these shorts. They are my new favorite running shorts. Love the color, length, material and features. Love the little key pocket and the waist band pocket. I'm 5'4 and 130lbs and the smalls are perfect.

Love the updated version! nice fit, waistband is perfect. very comfortanle The pocket in the back is an added bonus!!
