Best colour combos!
"My favourite material for shorts, super lightweight, quick drying and the colour has not faded yet after 12+ washes. I would say true to size, I’m usually a small 6 and I wear a size XS. I have 6 pairs of these and will happily buy more as further colour combos come are released. No shrinkage at all from washing, (I line dry inside)."

Perfect running shorts, barely notice they're on
"These are fantastic running shorts and the lining is great. I like the slit on the side because it doesn't restrict my running. Would purchase again! I did purchase in a medium and they fit 'just right'. For reference, I'm 5'7" and 135lbs with an athletic build."

I have 5+ pairs
"These shorts have replaced all my athletic shorts. I play indoor and grass volleyball and have thicker thighs than most but a smaller waist. I love how these flow around my thighs and don't limit my mobility. Usually split side seam shorts have spandex shorts underneath that ride up, but these have a brief style liner that is comfortable and stays in place! The most I have to do is pull the fabric out from my lack of a thigh gap with these shorts. I get compliments all the time on them and love the different colors and styles!"

Perfect shorts for running
"I’ve struggled to find good shorts for running. Most of the ones I’ve purchased in the past don’t combat chafing or are so long I’m giving off Adam Sandler vibes. These are great, love the pocket at the back and they come in a range of colours. I will continue to purchase these for years to come :)"

AMAZING PRODUCTS BUT EVEN BETTER CX
"I accidentally ordered the wrong short and reordered the one I wanted but it was outside of the window to cancel it. When I got onto the CX team they replied so fast isssued me a refund and cancelled the order but it still came!! And when I offered to return they told me to keep both!!! I’ve bought a lot of gym gear from different brands and I’ve never got this level of customer care ! THANK YOU"

Short but so worth it
"I was sceptical buying these as I have always been a tights curly. Surprisingly, they have become my favourite shorts! So lightweight and breathable, comfortable and they look good. They are a little short if you don't like short shorts or have a bigger bum, but I feel so good exercising in these."

Fun colors
"Loved that they’re lined, I don’t have to worry about lip slips when I’m doing burpees 😂 I have a little mom pooch and the high waisted ones makes me feel secured. I love all the fun colorways and these are my 4th pair and I want more! For reference I’m 5’2 and 135lbs and got a medium"

Great, but…
"The cutest colors ever! Quality of shorts are great. Issues I have are that the split paired with the short liner is super revealing! I would love these same shorts but with a long liner underneath. More like shorts liner for more coverage. Not all of us girlies are confident enough to have the goods out 🙈🙈 For reference I’m 5’3” 133lbs 27-28inch waist? I got the high rise one in a small and the mid rise one in a medium! Small fits just right but a medium would’ve been great for a looser fit because of the waist ties!"

Perfect
"My hyrox comp brand for all future events"

My second fav running shorts
"I love the pacer short and I thought I would give this a go as this style has more colour. The shorts ride up when running but otherwise very comfortable. I love the indigo blue but pacer shorts are still my favourite."
