Good running shorts April 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I like these shorts. A 5" inseam is the perfect length for my tastes (right around mid thigh). Well made, dry fast, inner supportive liner (not too tight nor too loose)and with 2 pockets - an internal fold-over type pocket (no zipper and inside the shorts) and 1 back-pocket type zippered pocket. Good shorts.

I've recently took up running a few months ago (finished my first 5k in July) and wanted to get some running specific shorts. Previously, I had been wearing basketball style shorts (Adidas and Nike) that goes down past my knees. I also didn't like the feel of my underwear getting soaked during long runs.

These shorts fit the bill. The length is perfect (I wear a large and am 5'10"); not too long, not too short. I goes about two inches above my knee cap. The material is quick-drying, very light, and "moves" well. The built in brief was a bit of an adjustment (I'm used to wearing boxer briefs) but after a few miles, I grew accustomed to them and felt a lot more comfortable at the end of the run.

My only complaint is that I wish there were some front pockets. There is a back pocket with a zipper but I'd do like having the side pockets. Overall, a very good pair of running shorts.

Great wicking ability August 23, 2011
I purchased these with the hopes that the fit and comfort level was that of an older pair that I purchased over 5 years ago. Upon arrival of the product I took them out for a run. I'm glad that I made the purchase. I have a problem with most of the other shorts, Nike, BCG, etc. with the liner on the inside being to tight and ridding up and causing discomfort. These Brooks brand shorts don't seem to bother me as bad. I've logged about 72 miles in these so far and no problems. They have good wicking ability and are not to short nor to long. I would definately purchase them again. They also are true to size, unlike the matching shirt which fits verrrrrrrrrrry small.

These are the strangest shorts! They're comfortable and flexible and so light that I hardly feel them on me during my daily one-hour walks. Read more

Good not Great
I think I would prefer to have the 7" shorts over these. On my morning 10K they tend to ride up a bit and I then get a little rub on my thighs. Read more

Excellent-- I don't even notice they're on
I'm quite happy with these shorts. They hang very well without being too loose or too tight. They're short on the thigh, but that's exactly what I want in a good running short. Read more
