I know these aren't specifically designated as a running short, but I took a shot because I really like the design (length, no front seem, dual hip level pockets). I ran a 5 miler with them to test out before wearing them for a half marathon race last week. They worked so well!
Pros:
+ Excellent balance of hold, compression, and movement. At not point for wearing them for nearly 2 hours did I feel uncomfortable.
+ Excellent balance of fabric thickness. The weather last week was warm and humid (not my favorite), and these shorts felt light and comfortable the entire time.
+ The pockets. I love the positioning of these pockets - closer to the hip, and not to deep. They are much easier to load and access when running than (for example) the Form line pockets, which are very deep and run alongside the thighs.
Cons/what I would change
- More colors? What gives? I want a pair in black!
For transparency:
While I was invited to run the 2xu Long Beach Marathon and joined the official 2xu Team, these shorts were not a part of the race kit and I purchased them with my own money.
