Men's RRS Velocity 5" Short

Comments about RRS Mens Road Runner Sports Velocity 5" Lined Shorts:

Construction is great. Nice zippered pocket on the back, plus a small "flap pocket" inside the waistband. Perfect for locker key/ID card. Fabric is nice. Graphics/reflective strips great. Problem is these run small. If you've ever bought clothes in Europe, you know what I'm talking about. Things marked "XL" are really an "American L." If you're at the top of the size you wear, i.e. an XL "Fits just right" then you need to buy the next biggest size on these shorts. The liner is TIGHT; that's the majority of the problem. Additionally, the short itself is small. Again, no problem w/the construction/style. They just run small.

Runs are great in the shorts. Protective reflection in early morning darkness is a great safety factor. Love the rear pocket for my cell phone. I have 3 of them.

I love these. I am built a little funny (large glutes and quads) and these fit very well. I sometimes have trouble with "chafing" on the inner thighs, but these fit just right and prevent such friction, without "clinging" to me. I will be ordering other colors.

Great shorts. Nice liner and the shorts don't ride or bunch. Like them better than the Asics!

I have four pair of what I believe were the same shorts that I got a year or so ago. They used to have pockets on the side along with the zip pocket in the back. The rear zip pocket is great but I miss the side pockets.

Purchased a pair 6 months or so ago. Wanted another pair. I really liked the first pair, but this 2nd pair is better. The fabric is lighter and fit is more comfortable than before.

Warning...unlike the previous models of the RRS 5" short, this new model does not have any front pockets. It will be returned. The fit is consistent with the previous models.

I just love these shorts! They are lightweight and comfortable. The key pocket was also a big plus.

I wear these shorts on long runs, short runs, and everything in between. They are lighweight and fit great.

Very comfortable for running and for the gym. I will get more of these.

Great basic short. Fabric wicks well and keeps you cool and dry (as possible). Good movement. Design might be the only con if any. I purchased another one since I liked the first one and the price!

Great shorts especially for the price. Fit well run a little smaller than nike, Adidas and TNF. But they work. Time will tell quality. But they are half the price as any major brand for a similar short.

Comments about RRS Mens Road Runner Sports Velocity 5" Lined Shorts:

These are good shorts at a great price. My only complaint is that the liner is big, allowing the shorts to ride up higher than I would prefer, making them a little less comfortable. But because of their price I'll probably get another pair at some point in the future.

I love these shorts! I have always worn shorter running shorts for freedom of movement and for quick drying and was a bit leery of choosing this longer short, but this garment has been a pleasant surprise. They look great for a more modest look (I live in a conservative Asian city) without restricting movement. They are light and comfortable and the inner liner fits perfectly. The little zip pocket is perfectly located and handy. I wear them mostly for running and occasionally for my gym workouts.

Great shorts!

True to size, very comfortable, and does not feel heavy even when drenched in sweat.

Comments about RRS Mens Road Runner Sports Velocity 5" Lined Shorts:

I put 9 miles on these as soon as I got them, and they are great. It was quite humid on the days I ran, and these did a great job of wicking the sweat away. Love the pockets, and the inner brief. Fits true to size. I'm 6'3, 184 and they were none too small. Great short, will be ordering another pair!

Comments about RRS Mens Road Runner Sports Velocity 5" Lined Shorts:

I find that these shorts are very comfortable for 1-2 hour runs in 80-100 degree weather. I use them exclusively for my running training, and I plan to wear them for the 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. These 5" shorts may be "too short" for some people, but they are perfect for me. I like that my quads are halfway visible while running. I'm proud of those muscles, and I might as well show them off!

Comments about RRS Mens Road Runner Sports Velocity 5" Lined Shorts:

At first, I thought these running shorts might be too long and baggy, but I was wrong. They are very comfortable and I hardly notice them while I'm running in the early mornings.

Better than advertised
