Women's R-Gear High-Speed Compression 6" Short

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

First, I almost never wear shorts because I have full thighs and shorts generally creep and bunch up or just look unflattering. The length on these shorts is nice, modest but not ridiculous. I wore them around the house for a bit to see if they would creep up and they seemed okay, but when I wore them for a short run today they did ride up a bit (though not awfully). Also, the fabric does not qualify as compression in my book, it fits snugly but definite not supportive to me. They'll be added to my rotation for very hot days instead of capris, but they still aren't quite perfect if you're "curvy".

I am definetely a woman who "needs some extra coverage!" Haha, but I just look at it as more to love! However, sometimes you just feel like compressing things a little. That's why these Women's RRS Velocity 6" Compression shorts are right up my alley! Whenever I wear them, things feel way more compact. And you should see the stares! For all those "large and in charge" women out there who occasionally feel the need to compress, I highly recommend these!

I love these shorts. I ran over 7 miles in them with no chaffing! They are a nice length on my leg and I like the plain black color. Easy to mix and match shirts to go with. I usually wear a size medium running shorts (in other brands) and that is what I ordered here and they fit perfectly. The side pocket does not seem overly useful but I can go without a pocket most of the time. I also ordered the newer version of this short (with the yellow stripe) and that one didn't fit as snugly & it seemed to be 3/4" shorter in the leg. The back pocket was nicer and bigger so IF you really NEED the nice pocket I would recommend that one instead. But I prefer this one! I am returning the one with the yellow stripe.

I am a 50 something women that bought these for a Warrior dash, so I was covered when I got all wet and muddy. They fit well and performed the way I wanted. Kept me covered and comfortable. I will wear these running in the future and will purchase more

I originally purchased this short over the winter to wear as an additional layer under pants for my cold weather runs. I am ordering another pair b/c it has quickly become my favorite pair of shorts to wear alone. It stays exactly where it is supposed to without riding up and looks and feels fantastic!! Love that I have more color choices!!!

I have trouble wearing shorts and this pair actually fits well. Usually shorts start to creep up as I run but these stay in place! I would absolutely recommend them!

Was looking for some compression shorts for running...and love these. I'm likely going to purchase another pair...and love that there's a zipper pocket

This is a great pair of shorts for running and light biking. Comfortable, good fit and looks good.

I bought it for working out and spin class. It's nice to have shorts in a variety of lengths. After I received mine, I bought more for my family members. I thought they'd love the fit, too.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

These are the best shorts! I now own three pairs, and they are the only shorts I wear to run in. The inseam is the perfect length so that it hits in a spot on my leg that is both comfortable and flattering. I have not had any problems with them riding up like I have had with other shorts in the past.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I love these shorts. My thighs are my biggest part, so I can't wear baggier shorts as they ride up. These do not. I am on my 2nd size (had to buy smaller as I lost weight).

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

My #1 priority for running shorts is that it has to have at least one pocket that is big enough to carry an iPhone. I was floored to find a compression short that met this criteria. Not only that, but it is actually located in a convienient spot. Oh yeah, they are also super comfortable. I originally bought these to wear under my running pants in the winter to help keep my thighs warm but have used them on there own a few times during this mild fall here in Eastern PA. These must have been designed by a woman!

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I've been looking for shorts or a skort for the past few years that actually stays down and covers my thighs so I don't get that awful [*] rub. I've tried others, many others. But this is the first one that I'll actually buy again! I ran 7 miles today (the longest yet in these shorts) and I didn't need to bend down and pull them down at all! I'm getting ready for a third marathon and I will be buying more of these

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

Despite logging a marathoner's miles, I have a very curvy lower half. This is the most comfortable pair of shorts I've ever found, for a few reasons. First, no pinching at the waist or hem - the elastic lies flat (even if your stomach isn't). They ride up a teeny bit on the leg, but otherwise stay put. They're long enough to help stop thigh chafe. They're also long enough to prevent you from feeling scandalous while running around in compression shorts. The pocket is serviceable for compression shorts - you can easily carry ID or some cash for a post-run pit stop...maybe also a single car or house key. These have made me a believer and they're now my go-to shorts for speedwork, long runs, and racing.

These shorts are perfect for running - not too tight, but not too loose! Great for those of use whose upper thighs touch :)

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

These shorts are the best thing ever for running! I run 60-70 miles each week. Wearing these compression shorts is like running with just an extra layer of skin between you and the elements. You may sweat, but the fabric doesn't show sweat marks. The compression holds your legs "in" and they don't rub against each other at all. The stomach is equally held tightly, but comfortably, in place. Additionally, the side zipper is a great place to put your car key. These shorts are fantastic!

I really like the feel of this material, but I didn't get the right size. I normally wear a Large in running bottoms and ordered the same for these. I found they were way too loose for 'compression' shorts! I think they would have been great in the right size, but I will have to return them. I recommend ordering a size smaller than you usually order, as they are supposed to feel tight! I look forward to trying them out in a Medium!

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I love the fit, however next time I would go a size smaller. I think with my weight lose I misjudged my true size. I do love that the shorts cover my "mom belly", I didn't feel any jiggle when running, I was VERY comfrotable.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I just wore this in my very first half marathon. I am sooo glad i bought them. Fit very well, very comfortable, and even look good. I am a little curvy and felt very confident in these. Definitely going to buy a couple more pairs!

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I've worn these shorts for years....love them, until this time. With my last order in Aug 2009, I noticed they've changed the seeming on these shorts. More seems---more scratchy seems. I've never gotten abrasions before and it's all right along the new seams.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

Love the fit. The first time I wore them was on a 9 mile run. No riding up or chafing. I plan to buy another pair and would love it if they came in some fun prints!

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I like how these fit- snug, but not tight. As a mature runner (48 yrs young), I really like the coverage of these. The waist band is a bit high for me, but I rolled it over once, and it was perfect. These shorts look and feel great. I bought two since they are a good price!

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I like the length of the shorts, Insanity and TRX classes have you moving, jumping, squatting and on and off the floor a lot! These short provide enough coverage and feel comfortable throughout the class. I just wish they had a little more compression to them to better support all muscles, especially when they are tired or sore. The price was good and overall I would buy they again.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I like these shorts. I had bought them in the purple a year ago and was planning on buying on buying a new pair down the road. I ended up buying a pair literally last min before a big race, but because I know that RRS is true to size I wasn't worried. My only problem with the shorts is the placing of the side zipper, for me it digs into my hip bones. Other then that, they feel great, don't ride up which is VERY nice.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I am on my second pair of these. I absolutely love them. The length is a good length for me not too short and not too long. I bought a pair of 2. 5 inch shorts from another company and felt like I was running in my underwear :) I then bought a pair of 5 inches from a different company and they rode up constantly. This was probably my fault, I think I bought them a size too big. I figured 3rd times a charm and ordered these. I was right. They don't ride at all and leave no chaffing. I have ran 18, 19, and 20 miles in them so far. I am planning to wear them in a marathon next weekend. I ordered an XS. I am 5'4 and weigh 112 lbs.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I am a runner,and these shorts are great. They fit well with no riding up of the legs and no rolling down of the waist. And for those of us with long legs and ample thighs, hooray for the coverage! As a previous reviewer noted, the shorts aren't true compression like 2XU or CW-X. They do give a nice, firm squeeze, but I would not likely wear them for half-marathon distance and up. They are my favorite shorts to wear for my runs.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I've avoided tight fitting shorts for a long time because I didn't think I would look good in them. As I've been increasing my miles, I have really come to love tight fitting capris and found that with loose shorts the chafing can not be prevented. So at the suggestion of a few friends, I tried out these shorts. The length is great and they don't ride up. I love them!

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I love these. I had been looking to replace some very old Lycra shorts, but found nothing that fit the bill: looking for
- the right material: quick drying, not too flimsy, not too thick.
- A good fit, not too tight, but not baggy. .
- a pocket for key or card that's not in the way
- NO ride up

I bought 6" to try and loved them. Have since bought some 8" too with same experience so just got full length for winter.

Happy camper!

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

These shorts fit me as I expected when I ordered a large. They are just long enough to prevent chafing when I run without needing Glide. They are thin enough that I can wear them under a skirt or lose shorts, which I do so that I don't feel like I am out in my underwear. They are thin and so feel light but stay put and I don't even notice them. I wore them in a half marathon and they were comfortable and dry. I am going to buy another pair, even at this price...they are well worth it.

Comments about R-Gear Womens Road Runner Sports High-Speed Compression 6" Fitted Shorts:

I bought one pair of these shorts, never having worn compression shorts before, and not having a clue how they'd fit or if I'd like them. They are PERFECT. I love running in them, as they stay in place and are very lightweight. I'm now ordering a pair in every color! (BTW I am 5'1" and weight 130, and the Medium fits perfectly.)
