Perfect outfit for running!
These shorts fit perfectly. I am 4'11 and 120 pounds. I just started running and they are perfect for that. The opening on the sides makes them super cute and comfy as well.

3” Split Shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Women’s RC Ultra Light Split Short 3” I tried these shorts twice. I like them but don’t love them. I got a size medium and the size fit great. However, the shorts did ride the inside of my thighs a lot. I will have to wear a shorter shirt or it will look like I am not wearing anything on the bottom. I will likely wear these for short easy runs

Perfect running shorts!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are super comfy, lightweight, and breathable—perfect for runs or workouts. They fit really well, feel airy without being too revealing, and still give good coverage. The built-in liner and flexible design make them easy to move in, while the material keeps you cool and comfortable.

Best run short ever!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shorts are ultra lightweight and soft, and an absolute breeze to run in. Doesn’t chaff or fit weirdly in any places, a true 10/10 race short. The color I got matches with almost everything, and looks good with any type of running top!
