        These are wonderful. I'm ordering 3 more pairs today. Good fit-doesn't give you "sausage legs" where the fabric ends. Extremely comfortable.

                  My first pair. I like them better than my running short that ride-up. These stay in place and are comfortable. I would not wear them out just for running but thats while I got them. plan on buying anouther pair.

                      I was having trouble with my legs rubbing together when I ran, even in longer shorts. The compression shorts solved that. I don't have the discomfort of my legs jiggling as a run, and it prevents my legs from rubbing. I couldn't be happier.

                          I'm an 'over 50' athlete and love the longer length of these shorts. I was looking for something attractive, but did not want show to "too much leg". These are perfect!

                          I use them for weight training, group exercise strength classes, running, and spin classes. (There is no pad for cycling, but since I ride a lot, I don't need one.) They have light compression, but do not ride up. The draw string waist is nice, and they dry quickly. There is a small zippered pocket on the left hip area that is large enough to hold a key, ID, and GU packet.

                          I will definitely be ordering more of these in different colors. Love them!

                            Ok, I was having a problem finding shorts that would not ride up when exercising, and I discovered these compression shorts just in time for my first triathlon. They were perfect for the job! After I put them on, I never had to think about them again, which let me concentrate on the activities. It was wonderful not having to adjust them, or pull down the leg, or mess with the waistband. No chafing! No rash! No rigid seam to irritate your skin! I never had such a good pair of shorts. They were more than I hoped for, too, seeing that they dried off so fast! I will be using these shorts for a long time to come. One thing, however, was that I washed the shorts and hung them outside to dry and noticed one of the seams was becoming unravelled. I didn't know whether it was my fault for having a substantial bottom (5'7' 160lbs) or if it was a defect in manufacturing, but I got a replacement pair (thank you road runner sports!) and everything has been hunky dorey since.

                            These are really great shorts for the money. They are great for long runs as when you sweat you don't feel like you are swimming in the traditional shorts. The compression feels nice too. They wick sweat and have breatheable mesh panels. There was no side zip pocket as described however there was a small back non zip pocket to stash a key and a bar or gu. They stay in place very well. The draw string is a little short and easy to sip into the band so watch out. Also the "R" decal is starting to peel off. Overall you get a lot for a good price. I am buying another pair of these. I've worn them now for about 4 weeks.

                              These shorts are perfect for those who are looking for something a little less revealing than most typical running shorts. Although these are described as compression shorts, the level of compression is actually pretty light. There is enought compression to keep the shorts in place and prevent the legs from riding up while you run, but the legs aren't so tight that they cause your thighs to spill out at the bottom.
