    Great length, bulky waist tie

      Comments about Womens R-Gear Inspiration 7" Lined Shorts:

      These shorts are great for us runners with imperfect thighs. They never ride up, and are long enough to eliminate chaffing. I wear mine nice and loose, and am never self-conscious about any jiggle. My only complaint is the elastic waist band tie - it's bulky and sticks out, which isn't flattering. Otherwise, these are the best shorts I've found! Hope they come out in more colors.

      Comments about Womens R-Gear Inspiration 7" Lined Shorts:

      Ok, I have searched high and low for longer running shorts for taller, athletic gals like myself. I am 5 ft 10 in and 165 lbs. and the large fit me perfectly. XL was way too big...bunching around the top after pulling draw string in. My waist is like 32/33 if that helps anyone.
      I like the length and the zipper pocket in the back. The zipper pocket could be bigger. It will only hold like a key and maybe two GU gels.
      I have been searching for longer running shorts at many stores and these may well be the ones I run in for my first marathon at the end of April.
      My only suggestion is that zipper pocket be a bit bigger or add a zipper pocket on side and that they make these shorts in different colors as well as in 8in and 9 in lengths as well. I would buy them all.

      Kudos to Victoria at Atlanta store as well. She held sizes so I could try on and see the fit. Very helpful on phone and in store.

      Like the fit through the hips and upper thigh. The shorts stay in place and don't creep up when running. The shorts also don't fall around the butt when laying down to do crunches, etc.

      Dislike the waist bowtie/stretchy strap thing. Would prefer inside tie, or no tie at all.

        Comments about Womens R-Gear Inspiration 7" Lined Shorts:

        I love my RRS running skorts and capris but wanted shorts that were as comfortable. After trying several pairs at shorter lengths (4" and 5") that rode up and were generally uncomfortable for my training runs, I was about to give up on shorts until I discovered these. They are awesome! Very comfortable - the fabric stays in place and I have no issues with chafing, the fabric getting wacky or any other discomfort. They're longer than most running shorts but still hit well above the knee. The fabric is lightweight but sturdy and the cut of the shorts is very flattering. I have already ordered a second pair.

              I use these shorts for running and bike commuting in warm weather. I'm mostly a climber and these would be great for that too - long enough to stay put under a harness. Anyway - I am about 5'3'' 112lb with pretty narrow hips and I need a xs. Small is ok but I like shorts that are slightly tighter than most running shorts. I'd love to be able to buy them in an xs. Please stock more colors and all sizes!!!!

                These are an OK design. If you have hips like me, and they are 42 inch hips, these will pull across the hips in the large size. I think XL would be too big, but they are not offered anyway--too bad! So, I sent these back, even if I LOVE the zipper pocket and the shirring on the sides. So, these are constructed for narrower hips, IMHO...TOO BAD. RR Sports, you need to offer more longer inseam shorts (7"+) with zipper pockets for gals with hips, please!

                  Would definitely buy again! VERY comfortable. Easy to run in. Flattering to middle aged, post 4 kids hips! Only con: the drawstring recedes easily when laundering. Probably tying before washing would solve this. Great product! Keep it up!

They stay in place and don't ride up. I now don't have to spend time pulling my shorts down while running. I felt great while running. They only downfall is there's not enough colors. If there wasI would buy them all!

                          Runs a bit large so order down a size. Besides that I love them!

                            Very comfortable, great for long runs. I'm 5'4'', 150 lbs and did not experience any problems around the upper thighs. And the shorts did not ride up. Only con is that there is no built-in inner. Otherwise it's a hit.

                                These are my favorite running shorts because they do not ride up. I ran 6 miles on a really humid day and they didn't ride one bit. I love the length too!! I haven't found any other running shorts that I am happy with. Definitely going to order some more. I am 5'8" and 164 lbs so the length is perfect...not too short, not too long. But I can't stress enough that they do not ride up. They stay in place on both my short and long runs!! Hands down the BEST running shorts I have owned!!! Oh I also love them for the gym because of the length!

                                  These shorts are very comfortable. They are tighter through the hips and do not ride up when I'm running. I'm 5'8" 160 lbs and would prefer not to reveal every bump/ripple to the world, so these are absolutely perfect for me! I will purchase more.
