Will Not Buy Without Trying On In The Future.

Disappointed. I have another pair, same design, from a couple years ago, that I love. This pair, disappointed. Liner is thin and slides up. Waist band is to tight. I’m 5’5 130lbs in size medium. Same size as the old shorts that I like.

Cute But Liners Don’t Stay Put

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Waistband elastic is a bit uncomfortable. Only one leg pocket and on the liner shorts. Liners also ride up the leg, very cute look and color, but will consider my activities before choosing this pair to wear.

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.

Dash 2-in-1 Short

Super great fit! Nice and comfortable. Currently using it for my runs and it doesn’t slip or ride up.

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.
