FlipBeltBlack Athletic Running Shorts for Men, with Reflective Logo and Pockets, Integrated Air Belt Waistband, XS-XL

I appreciate that these shorts are unlined, as it gives me more options to wear my running boxers underneath. My other running shorts all have liners, so having this choice is great.

I have several other FlipBelt men's Procucts.Their Elite Running Short is just outstanding in quality and comfort.The light strong soft material along with a comfortable liner and fit makes this short my favorite. I'm hoping for a 5" inseam down the line...OK, Now for the Athletic Short: The material is completely different.A bit heavier and the feel is not even close to the Elite Short.Hope they re-do the short closer to their better Elite line.I use the short alot for golf or on a hiking adventure.Like the pockets for keys, and phone.

I just received these shorts yesterday and used them on a 4 mile trail run with the dog today. The shorts met all my expectations and more. The pockets in the belt portion of the shorts are easily accessible for adding and removing gear. I put the large water bottle in the rear pocket my phone in the front pocket my keys in the zippered pocket. I put the collapsible dog bowl in the shorts pocket and was able to give my dog water halfway through the run. The gear stayed in place securely up and down hills on rough trails. The shorts were comfortable and lightweight. Can’t wait to use these shorts again on future runs.

Comfy and breathable

Two to three stars.I expected these to be thicker and more durable, able to actually hold on to things like a cell phone or a wallet, but they are just shorts with a thin layer at the top and they aren't comfortable even when not holding something. These, as a basic pair of shorts are not really comfortable, and in using as a FlipBelt with things folded over they're just not helpful or comfortable. I think three stars is more than fair for an average pair of shorts that underwhelm.
