I don't like running shorts with built in mesh liners since they seem to chafe on long runs. These shorts have a built in liner made of a soft material like a pair of soft shorts which do not chafe yet keep everything secure. These are my top running shorts. I can run for hours in these shorts with no problem. Best ones on the market. The inside liner runs a little small but not really a size down.

I've had these for several months now and run in them once a week. I also have the similar Nike product and wear them once a week. Compared to the Nike these have a heavier, stronger compression lining; are warmer; and I suspect are more durable. That said the Nike are my favorite shorts and these aren't. The Nike liner is cut for men, these don't seem to be. They are really too tight through the center and have a tendency to ride down plumber-style in the back. They are the first running shorts I've ever had to tie at the waist. Will I continue to use them? Yes. Would I buy them again? No. The Nike are well worth the extra money.

These shorts provided much better compression than my Asics 2 in 1 shorts which are more of a regular short with a boxer liner. The downside is that the compression part is a heavier fabric and a tad on the warm side when running in 95+ Texas heat

My only issue with the shorts is that the pockets don't have zippers.

I have 5 or 6 pairs and love them. The only thing that would make them better would be to incorporate a small, zippered pocket in the back (similar to RoadRunner Sports' other styles).

My only real problem with these shorts is that the MP3 player pocket can barely hold an older iPod Nano. A new Nano should fit without a problem, but the older models fit very tightly and you have to really bend the headphone wire which will probably cause it to malfunction over time. This pretty much renders the pocket useless for me.

I prefer the built in compression short and baggy short combination. Fits great.

PROS:
I love the inner compression with the lightweight chamois. The quality and fit is excellent.
CONS:
They are not very breathable, and almost embarrassing to wear when very sweaty. If you get very sweaty in hot weather it shows just as if you were wearing soaked grey sweatpants. They do not wick moisture away very good.
I have the blue and grey colors, maybe black would solve the problem.

I've had several generations of these shorts and they have evolved from thick beasts to a somewhat more refined pair of shorts. The compression layer is great to prevent chafing and the outer layer is a very smooth and lightweight fabric. The pockets are large and deep and great for carrying a few gels and for holding the wrappers. These are good for the price and hard to complain about.

fabric not sewed well, the stitching came apart on the inner compression in a very short time.

Tight on thighs tends to pull downward

I've had a previous version of these shorts for apprx 10 yrs and decided it was time to update them. I noticed some of the comments refered to them being too hot in the summer. Living in south central NM, I never realy intended to wear them in the summer: they fill a niche in the inbetween spring and fall when its too cool for 3" inseam shorts and too warm for tights. Therefore,they fit this need well.

I use the shorts only for running. I usually run about 40 miles per week. They are comfortable and durable. They are good shorts all around. The only thing I would change is the compression shorts are a bit thick and they don't compress well. It's like they are half a size bigger the shorts. That said I own 3 pair and I can't find a better pair of shorts for the money.

The liner seam is so thick that it rubs in ALL THE WRONG SENSITIVE places.... I really wanted to like these, but at mile 10 on a 20 mile run I developed a sore in a place that you never want sores...... not sure if I will ever wear them again.

I bought a similar RRS short several years ago and they were my favorite running shorts. The cut and fit of this pair is not as comfortable as the old pair.

Comments about Mens R-Gear No Excuses 6" 2-in-1 Shorts:

In genearl they are great shorts, but the waist elastic is a bit snug even when loosely tied. After 2 hours or so they start to dig in a little. Hoping that will reduce as they get used more.

The key pocket is a pain though. It is hard to get the key in or out, or verify it is fully in the pocket. I agree the key shouldn't come out easily, but there has to be something better then requiring your hand down your pants. A secondary velcro pocket in the existing pockets?

I bought a pair of these last year for long runs and a marathon to prevent chafing. They worked great and now I'm buying more to use on all my runs.

I use it for running and it has been very comfortable.

I started running about a year ago as a supplement to cycling. I run a couple times a week, usually around 5k.

Let me preface this by noting that I'm a big guy (that's a euphemism for fat). Not as fat as I used to be, but still have a way to go to reach my fitness goals. Because of that, traditional running shorts have never worked for me - they ride up and I have to adjust them constantly. Nothing breaks your rhythm like your shorts creeping up your crotch. The only thing that works for me is a boxer jock and normal workout shorts - although the workout shorts, fine for the gym, are a little long for running for my taste.

So when I found these, I thought they might be the answer. Not too long, not too short and compression liner instead of the briefs. I was wrong, very wrong. They ride up worse than anything. The liner is made of a grippy fabric that pulls them straight up into the nether after about five strides. They also don't keep things in place as well as a boxer jock, and sit a little low in the back.

Please, RR, if you're going to sell XL and XXL shorts, please have people that wear that size test them out. There's more to making things work for bigger people than just increasing the dimensions.

Meanwhile, my search for running shorts without a liner continues.

These are truly great shorts, especially in the winter the compression short keeps you warm. Though beware because heat rash is possible during humid summer months. At these times leave these shorts for short 5-7 mile recovery runs.

The only issue I have with the newest version of these shorts is the length of the draw string. Not sure why they have to have an excess of 10 inches per side. You can cut them and re-tie the ends but I'm not sure why they would make this a necessity.
