O-Mazing Power Shorts

I read a good review for these shorts awhile back in Outside or Runner’s world. I finally purchased them recently. As soon as they arrived, I put them on and went for a run. They unfortunately started riding up right away. I was pretty uncomfortable most of the run— I spent the whole time trying to pull them down. I contacted customer service and they fortunately issued a gift card covering the cost of the shorts since this was my first purchase (thank you, Oiselle!). I would not recommend these for running.

I had really high hopes for these, but they fell a little short. I understand that there is double fabric required to make the waist pockets, but it added a lot of bulk and weight that I found uncomfortable, especially in the Miami heat/humidity. Also, they started riding up before I even made it around the corner, and ultimately made me cut my run short. Unfortunately I won't be able to wear these again.
I know it's been said before but I think it's worth mentioning again that the strict return/exchange policy has made it really hard for me to take a chance on new products. Many of us can vouch for the fact that we don't know if a product will suit us until we have road tested it. Now I am in a position where I spent $50 on shorts that I wore for 20 minutes and can never wear again. Sadly, this is not the first time this has happened. I would love to continue to support the Oiselle brand but unfortunately I can't continue to afford to.

I've run all summer in my 2-years old o-mazing stride shorts and they were riding up my legs - not too much, but enough to be annoying. Decided to size down, so I got these on sale. I have no idea if there's *any* difference between "o-mazing power shorts" and older "o-mazing stride shorts" - couldn't identify any. However, they do NOT ride up at all and are very comfortable. They'll be my go-to next year!

Not much compression, just enough that they stay in place. The waist band is great, flat and comfy.
No secure pocket, so I'd be a little concerned if I carried my car key in there, but I use my bra for that. I also have never lost anything (usually carrying tissues and lip balm). They would be PERFECT if they had a little zipped pocket *somewhere* like the dart knickers. Or a loop to attach a key ring.

Oh and more solid colors, pretty please?

I’m always looking for the perfect pair of compression fit shorts with a length that’s a little shorter than the joggers but still have pockets, and these are my favorites. I love the power plya material and wanted to make these shorts work. I originally bought a size 4 and had the same issue as other reviewers with the riding up on my legs and a loose waistband by the end of my run. I’m a 2 in rogas and a 4 in the 2020 version of the pocket joggers. I sized down to a 2 and now they comfortably stay in place.
