Love These!

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!

Not Like Faster than Light Shorts

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!

Both Functional and Flattering

Absolutely in love with the EXPNTL Athletics ICON Shorts in Sought-After Sage! My wife is a marathon runner, and she looks incredible in these. These shorts are the perfect blend of style and functionality, designed with both athletes and aesthetics in mind. They fit her like a dream—perfectly flattering while offering all the mobility she needs for long runs. To top it off they don’t ride up! No gobbling!

The color is stunning; it’s that perfect shade of sage, pink, and blue that stands out but still feels effortlessly cool. She’s always getting compliments whenever she wears them, and I can’t tell you how many looks she gets when she pairs them with the matching set. They’re like her secret weapon—every time she puts them on, she feels confident and ready to conquer any distance!

EXPNTL Athletics really thought of everything with these shorts. They’re not only super comfortable but also have the durability and high-performance features marathon runners need, like moisture-wicking and breathability. The material holds up through the longest runs and still looks fresh, wash after wash.

If you’re looking for activewear that’s as functional as it is flattering, these ICON Shorts are worth every penny. Highly recommend for any runner who wants to look and feel amazing on their runs!

Excellent shorts

I am loving these shorts. I feel like they are very flattering and the phone pocket is awesome. For me they did not ride up much with my phone in the pocket.
