Top Notch Run Shorts

Purchased the Run Shorts in Medium [Crimson]. Fit exceptionally well, super comfortable liner for frequent runs, and the best pocketing options I've experienced yet on shorts. Full of function, but yet so minimal and clean on the exterior. Fit is a good balance between runners cut and not super short. Love 'em.

Dan K. Verified Purchase

Six Stars if I could!

Best run shorts I've owned, hands down. They score a 11/10 across the board: super comfortable, perfect fit, pockets for everything, nothing bounces, soft and airy liner, and super smart features that no other shorts have.

Alistair W. Verified Purchase

Perfect Length

The 5 inch length is spot on for me, gives coverage but doesn’t get in the way of my stride. I am not a fan of the super short run shorts, so are just the right length for me. Super satisfied with them so far.

Excellent Cooling

Mesh panels in the liner keep airflow going, definitely cooler than other shorts I own.

Extremely Functional

I am impressed by the functional design and everything is so intuitive. Very comfortable for my runs, and have held up well so far.

FIVE STARS

Five stars for sure on these—particularly for all features tucked away while they still look so clean.

Ray P. Verified Purchase

Super Soft Liner

Honestly impressed. They feel premium without being heavy, and I like that they work just as well for gym workouts as they do for outdoor runs. The quick dry fabric actually works. I can rinse them and they’re ready to go again by the next day. Worth the price.

Really Nice Shorts

These shorts are versatile. I’ve worn them for running, lifting, and even casual walks around the city. They transition well and look good off the track too. The fit feels true to size, and the waistband doesn’t dig in, which I’ve had issues with before. And the liner does a great job of staying in place without riding up.

Best Running Shorts

Possibly the best running shorts I've ever owned and used. The liner breathes well, it's comfortable (good balance between compression but not constricting) and it does not chafe or ride up. The pocketing is thoughtfully placed. The phone pocket in particularly is easy to use and keeps the phone snug on my leg when running. Really recommend these to anyone who wants the best of everything in a run short!

Travis G. Verified Purchase

GREAT DESIGN

Liner is comfortable and ventilates well, the waistband stays in place, and the back pocket with zipper is very useful for small items like a key or gels. Definitely recommend these.

Run Shorts

The liner pocket is perfect for runs, keeps my phone tight against my leg with no bounce at all.

Great for most activities

Great choice for running, hiking, and even gym when I need more minimal. Pleased with pocketing, fit, and overall design. Solid shorts.

Frank R. Verified Purchase

Easy Choice

I took these shorts out for a 10k in the heat recently and they crushed it. The liner is snug without being restrictive or too tight, and the phone pocket held my device with no bouncing around. Sweat wicked away fast and the shorts never felt heavy even after an hour. Love the little reflective hits too.

Rami H. Verified Purchase

Running Shorts

Very good so far after few weeks of use. We've been running a lot this summer, and the shorts wick away sweat well on longer runs. My phone fits in the pocket snugly so I don't have to hold it or strap it to my arm because it's too big.

WL T. Verified Purchase

Highly Recommend

Thank you from Singapore! My shorts are getting great use and I'd recommend them to anyone!

Perfection

Perfect balance between fit and performance. Not too short, not too long, and light enough that I forget I’m even wearing them. The pockets are well placed and practical. Easily the best run shorts I’ve bought in years.

Joel P. Verified Purchase

Excellent but make a 3" version

I run 3-5x per week and have cycled these into my routine and been extremely happy with how they perform. The pocketing is incredibly smart and the fit is just right for me. They rank among the best running kit I've used. I suggest Sodo adds a 3" inseam version to the line based on this exceptional design.

My favourite run shorts. Just make more colors and an unlined version for winter runs when I need my tights!

These check every box

These shorts check all the boxes for me. Lightweight, breathable, and they don’t ride up when I’m moving. The waistband is really comfortable too, which makes a difference on longer runs. I’ve already recommended them to a few friends.

Nicely Made

Very well made shorts. The stitching and fabric feel durable but still soft enough against the skin, and they’ve handled sweat really well. I took them out for a run and didn’t have any chafing issues. The fit is slightly slimmer than I expected, so I’d maybe size up if you’re in between, but otherwise these are excellent running shorts.

23-07-2025

Chad F. Verified Purchase

Extremely Comfortable

Good product--the built in liner is surprisingly soft and I had zero chafing even on longer runs.

22-07-2025

Brandon F. Verified Purchase

Very Satisfied

I’ve tried a lot of different running shorts and these moved into my top rotation. The fabric is soft but still technical, and the stretch makes them comfortable for long miles. I’d give them 5 stars if they had one more pocket, but overall a great buy.

20-07-2025

Matthew T. Verified Purchase

Great Pockets

Great pockets. Love the back zip pocket especially, it’s big enough for keys and cards without any movement, and the way I can tuck my shirt through it is genius.

Great Quality, Solid Fit

Fit is great, waistband doesn’t dig in, and they dry fast after a long run. Back pouch perfect for my phone and a couple of gels.

Wally B. Verified Purchase

Impeccable Design!

These are probably the most comfortable running shorts I own. The waistband is secure but not tight, the 5 inch inseam is perfect, and the built in liner feels softer than most brands. I appreciate the quick dry fabric since I sweat a ton, and they’re always ready the next morning.

Featherlight

Super lightweight and breathable. I barely notice them when running. My new go to pair.

Cal W. Verified Purchase

Very Comfortable Shorts

Wore these during a track workout and loved how they moved with me. They don’t ride up or chafe, which is a big deal for me. The fabric stretches well, and the liner keeps everything supported. Breathability is top notch with the mesh, felt cool even in the sun.

Run Short

Sweat doesn’t stick in these, fabric wicks away fast and they don’t feel heavy after a workout.

Good Fit

I like the fit for run shorts that are not extremely short and awkward; these a good every day length. The liner stays in place well. Design is very intelligent. Great job!

Roland C. Verified Purchase

Standout Shorts!

I’ve tried a lot of brands, and these honestly stand out. The liner pocket is perfect for phone storage, the back zip pocket holds keys and cards, and the fabric is super lightweight. I wore them on a long run and barely noticed them on. Also, crimson color looks amazing in person.

Marcus W. Verified Purchase

Definitely Worth the Price

I wore these for a half marathon and was shocked at how comfortable they were the whole way. Zero chafing, liner was great, I felt supported without overheating. For longer distances, these shorts are perfect. Worth every penny.

THE RUN SHORT

Such a good design and superior materials. The shell dries super quick, ran in the morning and they were already good to go by afternoon. Liner feels perfect.

Fantastic fit, well designed. Caught some light rain on a jog and the water beaded off right away, didn’t soak through. The built in liner is comfortable and does not ride up.

Comfortable, True to Size

Super comfortable shorts. Fit is true to size for me (M, 6ft, 170) and the 5" lands perfectly on the leg. No liner issues. Have 10k coming up soon and looking forward to getting these into action.

Don P. Verified Purchase

Great In the Rain

Wore them on a rainy morning and was impressed by how they shed water. Didn’t get heavy or soak through, which is rare for running shorts. Afterward they dried so fast I could wear them again by the afternoon. Great all weather option.

Danny O. Verified Purchase

Great Shorts, Particularly the Wicking Properties

I sweat a lot, and these shorts handle it with no problem. The quick dry material means they don’t cling, and I can wash dry them super fast between runs. The odor resistance also holds up, which is a huge bonus since I don’t want to wash them every single wear.

Nice Phone Pocket

The fabric stretch is awesome, I can sprint or squat and they don’t hold me back. And the phone pocket is brilliant.

Love These Shorts

I love my pair ... they're really lightweight and no chafing issues ... the back pocket is a great feature ... the phone pocket is tight enough to keep the phone close on the leg but still easy to get the phone in and out of ... the smaller pockets on the liner and also the other side are good for a credit card and gels ... just a great design, I love it!

The Run Short

Excellent Craftsmanship and quality. Phone slides into the liner pocket and stays put, no bouncing around which is a game changer for run shorts. That feature is a standout for me.

Love the details they put into these shorts. The waistband drawcord feels durable, and the back pocket is surprisingly roomy. The crimson color also looks great, makes them stand out from my usual black running gear. Function plus style in one piece.

Battle Tested & Approved

Tested these during sprints and hill work. Stayed comfortable the whole time. They allow full range of motion and don’t snag or stick. The crimson color stands out and adds some style, which I love compared to the usual dark shorts.

Crimson Run Short

Solid material, very light, very comfortable. They fit a tad small for me, but I'm usually between sizes. Bought my first pair to test, and followed on with the other two colors to round it out. Great shorts.

Size M - Crimson

The fit perfectly! I'm 5'11 and 170 so I ordered a M and worked like a charm.

22-05-2025

Frank D. Verified Purchase

Impressive

First thing I noticed is how light they are. Took them for a tempo run and they handled sweat like a champ. They dried so quickly afterward too. Plus, no odor, which is impressive given how hot it was out. Definitely becoming my go to shorts.

Rocky J. Verified Purchase

They Look Sharp

The crimson colour really pops, looks sharp on runs and still works for casual wear too. Reflective on the shorts is a smart detail.

18-05-2025

Todd C. Verified Purchase

Great shorts

Definitely pricey but worth it just for the functional pocketing. The no bounce phone pocket is great.

18-05-2025

Jeremy C. Verified Purchase

Perfect for what they intend to be

After 5+ weeks of wear testing these, they get 5 stars for light and medium distance runs. For really long distances over 10 miles, I prefer an ultra light run short paired with a run vest that has water pouch, so these stay at home on those days. Maybe not my choice for marathons, but perfect I just want to get out the door and do quick 3-5 miles before work.
