Description

Our best-selling two-in-one shorts now in a longer length! Like its shorter sibling, instead of a traditional running shorts liner, the base layer is Plya Compression long shorts, with the semi-fitted layer over the top. The waistband is our classic flat and pocketed design, but the side pockets are the true breakthrough. The side leg pockets, with the opening on the outside, are attached to the compression bottom underneath, rather than the outer layer. The result: when moving or running, objects in the side pockets stay secure against your leg vs. bouncing around. Power to the pockets... and the long shorts!

Alright but can't hold items in the pockets

I am 5'3" and 118lbs. I normally wear an XS in athleta compression leggings but a 4 or S in most other pants. I own a pockito bra in 4 that fits perfectly.

The concept of the short is great; however, the thin drawstring and loose compression inner short makes it miss the mark. The size 4 was way too large for me, and the 2 fits but offers no compression. If I struggle really hard I can tie the infinity drawstring tight enough that my pants won't fall down with my phone in it. The inner short material is very stretchy and gives a barely-there feeling but because it is so slick, will definitely slide down you if you are trying to carry water and a phone (which is what I had hoped I could do). Although my phone will fit in the side pocket, it is not secure enough for running (I have a pixel 8). The back pocket works well, but again, because of the thin drawstring, it's not exactly comfortable to run with for long distances.

I would really like to try the pocket shorts but since the sizing for these ones were so off, I'm afraid they would not fit properly.

To illustrate how stretchy these pants are, I have included a photo of me with a standard can of corn so you can see how stretchy the material is. I will say that they are very comfortable by themselves, but I bought this so I could have places to put stuff during my race.

If Oiselle wants me to help them troubleshoot their design, I would be happy to test an updated version and provide my feedback. I also have a race coming up in July so if you could fix these shorts between now and then, that would be amazing.

The phone pocket just barely fits my iPhone 14 pro with a case on it, but it does fit and keeps it snug while I’m running around the house chasing the kids. On an actual run, these were great, no chaffing thanks to the tight shorts layer. I’m 5’5” and about 130/135lbs and the 4 fits me well.

Almost...

I love the idea of these shorts, but they miss the mark just a smidge. For one, the side pocket is a hair too small; if it were maybe half an inch wider and an inch deeper, it would fit my iPhone 13 Pro comfortably. As it is, my phone always sticks out and I feel like it might pop out entirely if I move oddly.

The fit is also off. The inner layer compression shorts fit me well, but the overshorts (for lack of a better term) are too large. The waistband is about 1" too long; even when I tighten the drawstring, it comes loose over the course of my run and I find myself pulling up the shorts repeatedly (especially when I have my phone in the pocket).

That said, I really appreciate the design here, and the material is sturdy. The sizing just doesn't work for my body, and the pockets need to be deeper.
