These are a much more out-there design than your average running shorts :o) Really good for running in Sydney's climate, love my full-length meggings of course, but let's face it no amount of moisture-wicking compares to exposed skin. Pockets are perfect for a key, credit card / ID & phone and the compression is really nice. One word of advice for my fellow chaps if you like longer-length boxers, these shorts did ride up a little bit when I was going at it in my Les Mills class. That said ... REALLY good in the gym, everything gets held in place during the most excruciating pilates pose or most bum-challenging squat-into-shoulder-press Will definitely buy again, and looking forward to seeing if there are any Performance Pro shorts also in the range this Black Friday :o) I am definitely Lord of MY jungle wearing these ! Just ask my cat.
