    Nice shorts
  

*by B***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2014*

Nice shorts nice materials and nice fit. Okay they are nice.The material is more substantial than some workout tights and has good stretch to them. They have a yoke in the back and pockets in front that can hold stuff if you are not running. I usually wear a medium in workout shorts and tights so I purchased a medium in these. They are loose and if I lose 10 pounds I could go down to the size small. But I will wash them first and see if they have any shrinkage. They are not tight on the leg like tights or workout shorts and for me they do not work for running. I purchased them as a non-running workout short.  A little pricey but a very nice short. Need more colors like navy or dark gray and I would purchase more of this style.

    Did someone say "pockets"?
  

*by F***7 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2014*

Recently I started walking on the days I don't run, and I noticed that none of my running shorts have pockets.  So in my search (quick because pockets appear to be rare on women's athletic shorts!) I found these babies. I am 5"8" and weigh 145 and always wear mediums in athletic bottoms - but thanks to another reviewer I sized down, and I'm glad I did.  The size small fits me a bit tighter than the model, but I don't feel restricted in any way and these shorts actually look really flattering on.  The pockets - while smaller than I expected - are situated in such a way that they lay flat and don't flare out and make my hips look wider.  I am able to get my Galaxy s4 to stay in the pockets adequately for walking - but no way they would stay in for a run.  Also, I love the material which is a polyester blend and not cottom like most other shorts of this style.  Overall very happy with these shorts.

    Best All-Around Gym Shorts
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2015*

These shorts are perfect for they gym or taking a walk.  They are long enough to provide coverage, thick enough to hide cellulite, and stretchy enough to do anything.  These are not super tight like bike short, but have just a bit of room in them.  I use them for crossfit all the time and like that no matter what I am doing, they keep me covered.  They are not super low cut (hit me just at the bottom of my belly button, which I appreciate.  They have small front pockets - work for carrying keys while walking.  I have stuck my phone (Galaxy S5) in there, but in its case it just looks and feels strange (you can tell exactly what is in there.  My hips are 45.5" and the XL fits me perfectly.If you are looking for super low-rise, tight shorts, these are not for you.  If you want something comfy  with coverage that just stay in place, these are great.
