Still Chaffib

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am disappointed in the spandex on these shorts. The material is rough and they don’t stay in place. I bought them because of chaffing and they haven’t helped. I’m still looking for the best shorts

Wanted To Love For My Run, But Too Much Chaff!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are so cute; however, for my run, I had a hard time with chaffing. I wanted to love these so badly!! They just don't stay tight against the thigh and ride up really easily. They need more compression to stay in place. Overall, I love the color and kept both pairs for other workouts like lifts, etc., but I couldn't wear these on a run unless I had a chaffing stick.

Good Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good shorts. The inner lining rode up during my run. Trying the second pair I bought later this week.

Uncomfortable Waistband

I really wanted to love these shorts -- I'd been looking specifically for purple short to wear during my marathon. I absolutely love the color, and the fact that they were 2-in-1 and a good length, but I found the waistband so uncomfortable. It was very wide and didn't sit on my waist, despite the fact that I'm short. Sizing up would've meant the compression shorts underneath would've been too loose. For reference, I'm 5'3, 120ish, and a true size small. Returning them and hoping I like the chaser shorts better, but I'd really wanted the 2-in-1.

Love But Runs Small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love everything about these shorts - color, pockets, flow, and fit. Just runs small. Usually, I am a L and had to go up to XL. Normally, I love Brooks clothing because sizing is consistent, but it feels like even the XL is a bit tighter than I would like.

Horrendous

The dash 2 in 1 is a complete miss for Brooks after how good the chaser 2 in 1 was. The Dash liner has no structural integrity and rides up along with the outer short while simultaneously sagging on the side with the phone pouch. The inner pocket is no where near as nice as the rear zipper pocket from the previous iteration. I had planned 6 miles in them but ended up having to turn for home at 3 and change shorts from all the chafing.

Too Small & Too Short

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually wear a medium but these were too tight and too short and they rode up my thighs. I'm returning them.

Light And Breathable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Dash 2 in 1 shorts are my new go to running shorts. Since it’s winter I have been wearing them to the gym for treadmill runs and weight training, but I can’t wait to wear them on my beach runs. The shorts are super lightweight and don’t move or ride up when running or biking. I was worried that the liners wouldn’t prevent chafing, but they have been great on my treadmill runs. The wide waistband is both comfortable and flattering and has both elastic and a drawstring. One of my favorite features is the pocket in the liner, which will be perfect for holding my fuel during my long runs. Overall I think they are a great lightweight short combo and are my new go to for long runs or even training sessions at the gym.

Comfort And Coverage In One

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of two returning to fitness, the Brooks Dash shorts really check a lot of boxes. The fit is true to size, at 5'6 and 140lbs, the medium fits me just right. The lightweight fabric is super comfortable, but the star is the built-in liner which allows me to run confidently knowing that my shorts will stay in place. The built-in phone pocket is another great feature, perfect for holding my phone, keys, or earbud case. Overall, these shorts are comfortable, practical, and reliable for my daily runs and fitness routines.

Love These Shorts And Color!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really impressed with the Dash 2-in-1 Short. The fit is absolutely true to size. They are snug where it should be without feeling restrictive, and the waistband stays comfortably in place during both runs and strength sessions! The fabric feels fantastic on the run: lightweight, breathable, and smooth against the skin. Even on longer or warmer runs, it never felt heavy or clingy, and it did a great job wicking away sweat. The inner liner adds just the right amount of support without causing chafing, and that same support really shines while lifting weights—everything stays secure without limiting movement during squats, lunges, or deadlifts. What really makes these shorts stand out are the thoughtful details. The 2-in-1 design provides both comfort and confidence, whether I’m logging miles or moving through a lifting workout. The overall construction feels high-quality and durable, and the pockets are well-placed and practical for carrying small essentials without bouncing or shifting. On daily runs and while lifting weights, the Dash 2-in-1 Short has performed consistently well. It transitions seamlessly from cardio to strength training, making it a versatile, reliable, and comfortable option that’s earned a permanent spot in my workout rotation.

A Comfortable Workout Short

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dash 2-1 short is the perfect short for working out. I typically wear a small or sometimes a medium and in this case I could have sized up to a medium. I do believe the shorts run true to size and they fit but I would have liked slightly more room. I do like the spandex short inside the shorts which kept from chaffing and an overall pleasant experience. The fabric is extremely light weight which is a huge plus and the color was cute. Definitely felt good wearing them not only to workout but for the style as well.

Lightweight Classic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was very pleased that these shorts ran very true to size. I am a consistent large and these shorts fit perfect. I am pretty short, 5’4” and the length of the shorts was pretty short on me. Fabric was very lightweight and wicked very quickly. Appreciated the side pocket on the inner shorts for a fuel gel or to stash a key. Only comment is that I would appreciate there being some sort of non slip grip on the inner shorts as they do ride up slightly and that becomes bothersome by the end of my run.

Great Shorts For A Run Or Gym Workout

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a long distance runner, I appreciate a good pair of shorts and that is exactly what these are. The two-in-one style is awesome because they feel freeing like a typical running short but offer more coverage and help prevent chaffing. I love the color fit and style, but I do wish the shorts underneath were slightly longer. With that said, sometimes with styles like this the shorts underneath ride up, and I can honestly say these stayed in place even on long runs so no true complaints! I think these will be my go-to for runs and gym days moving forward.

Beautiful Color

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are really pretty in person. They are a beautiful shade of sky blue. They have stretchy, thin bike shorts inside, and oversized shorts on the outside. They have a drawstring made of the outside shorts material. I picked "slightly small", and I am referring to the waist, not the legs or backside. I normally choose a Large, because I like the waist to be a tiny bit loose, but these are not loose in the waist at all. They are not too tight or uncomfortable for me, but if you are on the "upper" end of a size Large, then you might want to size up. The fabrics, both the inside and the outside, are very soft and nice-feeling. They feel thin without feeling "cheap". These are good quality, I like them.

Nice 2-in-1 Running Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These nice 2-in-1 shorts are great for runners who want a little extra coverage, like me. The wide waistband is comfortable and not too tight, while the ventilation holes just underneath add nice breathability. Be aware that the tights are quite thin, almost to the point of being sheer. I don’t mind that, and I think it will help when running in hotter temperatures. But we will see how the fabric holds up. My biggest complaint is the pocket size on the tights. It can barely hold my phone and only with a lot of effort. These probably won’t be my casual go-to shorts as a result. But for 2-in-1 running shorts, these check the boxes I look for and I’d recommend them. I did size up and would suggest that for those in-between sizes or wanting a more relaxed fit.
