I love these shorts so much, best shorts to run in and fit perfect. They don’t ride up on me like others have. The only thing these shorts are missing is a pocket in the back waistband :/
I was hesitant to order these, as I saw a good amount of reviews saying they rode up. I'm glad I took the leap! I can't compare them to the Faster than Light shorts, as I haven't purchased those yet. But they've been great for me so far. I've now worn them on several training runs and on race day, and I love them! They're long enough to prevent chafing but short enough to be cute. Just another reason I love expntl!
I was so excited for these shorts that I ordered them in 2 colors. I have 3 pairs of the Faster than Light shorts and expected them to be comparable but they are not. I wore these on a 3 mile run and they rode up the entire time. The fabric is thin and they do not stay in place. They are now just my lifting shorts but even then, they still ride up. Please bring back Faster than Light shorts!
I love absolutely everything about these shorts! The fabric is super soft but also compresses really well. The pocket is a perfect fit for a phone (it doesn’t budge!) or gels and the cut is super flattering. I wore the older version for a marathon and they were the ideal short for that distance. Can’t wait to wear these on my next one!
I've been wearing Expntl for a year now and have loved everything, so I got these shorts as a gift for a friend. She loves the pockets, the color, and the design in general. Would highly recommend.
