Light & Durable
Really glad I bought these. They’re lightweight but don’t feel cheap, and they’ve held up after a bunch of washes. I pretty much live in them on weekends now

Quality Investment Shorts
I have been looking for shorts that do not roll up when I squat. These stay put, even on deep squats. Material feels high quality and just fits right. I was skeptical about paying over $100 but I think these will last way longer than my cheaper pairs.

Recommended
As a trainer, I've worn a lot of workout shorts and these standout as the best so far. The design is thoughtful, the fit is perfect (not too tight), and the liner is extremely comfortable (if just a bit on the heavier side). All the pocketing is clearly well thought out and right where things should be. Justifies the price, and they're very well built, so I'll be getting a lot of use out of them. Well done!

4 way stretch is awesome
love them. The 4-way stretch is just enough so every movement is comfortable but like not too thin and stretchy, which is a difficult balance, but these shorts find it. I'm happy with everything so far!

perfect balance of style and function
