"Pros: super comfy material, ships fast, love the sticky border that makes the shorts stay put. Drawstring works well to keep the waist in place—I think these would slip down otherwise. Cons: low rise is not for everyone—especially those of us with curves. These shorts would be amazing with another inch of rise. The pockets are also too narrow for a typical iPhone. Sweat does show through the material but it doesn’t bother me much since I’m soaked after a run anyway."
"I am loving these shorts. They feel really soft but very high quality. I ran a 50k in them and I was able to use all the pockets. They looked so cute and I got lots of compliments. I love them. I am 5’5 and I weigh 135 pounds. I wore a medium. They fit very well."
"I really like the anti slip sticky part in the thigh of the shorts - these don’t move! There’s plenty of pockets for gels, keys, phones, I can leave my running belt at home now when I wear these. Cool options for colors and patterns, fits true to size."
"These shorts fit great, the compression feels secure, I appreciate the mid rise. Where they fail is they slide down to a low rise. They hang on but I hate a pair of running short that surpass the hips. I have my phone and dog treats to carry when I run and they just really disappoint me. I'm sad I can't return them either because they now have no tags since I actually ran in them."
"Fabric was ok not the best, lots of seams on the inside (if ya know what I mean). If you’re thinking of ordering the plus sizes, be prepared for there to be absolutely no compression whatsoever, theres a solid 1.5 to 2 in of air between my leg and the shorts. I told Sprints about the issue and while they said theyd forward my comments, they seemed largely unbothered that the product was not as advertised."
"Sprints is 2 for 2 as the best kit to wear for a race. This was my second time wearing sprints; this time both shorts and matching tank in the pickle print. Comfortable and there’s some sort of magic in the fabric that holds sweat and humidity but doesn’t let you feel it. They aren’t messing around with the shorts either - they didn’t ride up or move - just felt great. I got compliments on the fun print too. Highly recommend."
"I absolutely love these shorts, I now have this pair In Three different colors! Size medium, 5 ft 5 and 145 lb. Great for running and also great for absolutely any other activity! They stay out-they don’t ride up-etc."
"Love the print. Shorts are great. Some of the seams have started splitting with 2 wearings, so that's concerning. The shorts are definitely the right size so that's not the problem. May get another pair of the strings that busted loose end up p being a minor issue"
"I’m usually a medium or large in shorts. I went with large, and it was the right choice. Pros: the bottom of the thigh part doesn’t ride up. Also, with the drawstring, they don’t slide down while running. Minimal adjusting during the run. Pockets are big enough for phone and easy to use. Cons: if you have big thighs or butt, it will show that shear white color from the stretch. (Not squat proof) I don’t think these were made for bigger bodies. Also, they’re “regular” or maybe lower rise? I’ve got some love handles with these because of where they fall. Overall I will wear them, but I’m not sure id buy another pair."
"These are beautiful and well made. I am 120 5'3 and found them to be on the smaller side, so I shouldn't keep them but am too lazy to return. I bought the matching hat which is awesome as well."
