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!

So close…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shorts are almost perfect. The fabric is light and breathable. I wish I would’ve gone up a size because they do ride up some at faster paces.

Comfortable, lightweight and stylish!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very stylish and comfortable run shorts with inner brief and beautiful breathable materials that moves with you. They were super comfortable when I ran, and I experienced no chafing.the small inner pocket fit my small phone, but can also be used to store chapstick, gels, etc. Overall wonderful shortsthat keep you comfortable and dry during long runs.

Versatile Running Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Versatile pair of shorts - wore for both a few mile walk and a run. Better for running as designed than the walk but more comfortable than anticipated.

Great for warm days

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the lining and the waistband of these shorts. They are a new style for me but I really like how they move.
