Came across these in my search for marathon training/race day shorts. Very lovely pair of shorts. So many positive things to say: They don’t ride up when running, the waist doesn’t roll down and they do not show crouch sweat at all. They’re so comfortable I truly forgot I was wearing them.

Keep sweat out of sight
Nike Stealth Evaporation technology manages moisture to help hide visible signs of sweat on your garment. It is combined with Nike Dri-FIT technology that moves sweat away from your skin for quicker evaporation, helping you stay dry and comfortable.
Smoothing touches
The absence of a front seam helps keep the fabric from riding up. A discreet back pocket and drop-in side pockets that fit most phones help keep the look smooth.

How This Was Made
- The recycled polyester used in Nike products begins as recycled plastic bottles, which are cleaned, shredded into flakes and converted into pellets. From there, the pellets are spun into new, high-quality yarn used in our products, delivering peak performance with a lower impact on the environment.
- In addition to reducing waste, recycled polyester produces up to 30% lower carbon emissions than virgin polyester. Nike diverts an average of 1 billion plastic bottles annually from landfill and waterways.

Brilliant shorts!

Excellent Shorts. The only shorts.

Yall. I have been searching for shorts with no middle seam (obvious reasons), that don't ride up because thigh gaps don't live here, and that are long enough to where my butt doesn't hang out but not too long so I don't look like a pilgrim. I'm running a marathon soon so I've been searching high and low. These are the only pair of shorts I'm wearing until my time has come.
Excellent tights like no other

I have recently tried Lorna Jane, Adidas and some online brands. I bought these woth the thought of "one last try". They are perfect. The waist is high and doesn't roll no matter what you do. Firm but comfortable- I felt like Cinderella with her glass slipper. So much so, I bought 3 more pairs!
