I bought two pairs of these shorts during the sales. What attracted me to them was the multitude of pockets they have. The one and only zipper pocket stores my phone securely but note the pocket is not waterproof - there was no expectation from me that it should be by the way. The other pockets are 'looser' and don't have any zipper on them. This caused me a little concern so I tried running a long run with a single gel in them and a small bottle of sun screen to see if they remained in there which they did. While this gives me confidence I can put items in there, I would still be a little hesitant to add anything of value in there. Concerning fitting, my waist is at the bottom an end of the XL size tolerance and it shows. These shorts fit a little baggier than I expected causing me to wear additional lycra shorts underneath to ensure the crown jewels do not suffer from chaffing which they almost certainly would do in these loose shorts. Other than all of that, I cannot fault the shorts, and I am sure if I had ordered L instead of XL they would get 6 stars off me if there were six stars to select.

Quality Nice But Sizing And Use Issues
I bought these and ended up returning them. I work from home full time so athletic leisure wear is a large portion of what I wear for around the house comfort and I feel it looks good that suits me for regular daily wear outside the house as well. I love my Brooks shoes and had high hopes but ultimately was disappointed. The quality of the materials was nice, the rest of it wasn't for me. Pockets way too shallow to have any real world use of holding anything in. Sizing ran way small. If you want to use them for near skin tight running shorts with nothing in your pockets these are your short, otherwise pass and look at other shorts.

Awful Shorts
Really poor quality shorts. Don’t fit well, don’t tighten well, and top hem bunches and folds over. Brooks’ shoes are great but avoid these.

Would Recommend, Very Easy To Run In
Previously enjoyed the unlined version so when I saw these on sale I decided to give them a try. Have found them really comfortable even in humid conditions and still love all the pocket options

Great Short, Comfortable If Not Expensive
Comfortable, great pocket for phone which hugs (as its new). I got a size smaller as some said the waist was loose. I got them in the sale as I wouldnt pay this full price for shorts!
