Tried these out for the first time this morning. I did have to cinch and tie the drawcord, but I do that with my long rogas so it didn't feel out of the ordinary our like an inconvenience. The side pockets were smaller than I anticipated but I can put my phone/keys in the back zip pocket and a 5oz soft flask on each side and everything stays put. The compression layer didn't ride up or chafe, which was my main concern(thick thighs), but felt more ventilated and comfortable than my long pocket joggers and even my long rogas. I hope this style sticks around, I'm excited to get a few more pairs. Would potentially looove a higher rise version. If it helps, I'm 195#, 5ft6 and usually wear a size 10 or 12 in Oiselle bottoms. I got a 12 in this style.

when I saw these I ordered 2 because they're exactly what I was looking for. I ordered in my normal size for bottoms, and I agree with other reviewers that they run large. I also think that the design is a bit flawed because they will absolutely not stay up with anything in the pockets. I think this is partly because the underlayer isn't compressive enough, and because the drawstring is weird (or possibly made for someone skinnier?). I just couldn't pull it tight enough to make a slip knot, and ultimately ended up (accidentally) tying them in a knot which i have yet to untangle. Love the design and the pocket placement, and will likely wear these for other activities, just not good running with a phone in any of the pockets. Maybe the next iteration will be better.

Very well constructed! Ticks all the boxes on quality. The shorts are super comfortable to wear, lightweight, breezy, no restriction of movement. The drawstring at waist is helpful, as the waistband itself doesn't have much support. Really appreciate the pockets!! I got the blue color, which is lovely in person. Very happy with these, and going to order another pair right now in the orange.

I was very excited about these. Inner shorts long enough to help with the dreaded chub rub, outer shorts for modesty, and a pocket perfect for a smart phone - what’s not to love? Well, I don’t love the lack of a crotch gusset on the inner shorts. I put them on for the first time and I do think they run a little big, but not enough for me to size down. I cinched the waist drawstring and got a good fit and feel. However, not long into my run, I noticed an uncomfortable sensation “down there” from the seam running right down the middle of the crotch. I survived my short 3 mile run unscathed, but I would not trust them for a 10k or beyond. I will be adding a diy inner gusset layer to save my skin.

I was so excited when these were released. I love the style, the fabric and the colors. I tried them on in store though and was shocked at how off the sizing was. I am a 10 in Oiselle bottoms and even a size six was very loose on me. I didn't end up buying them so I cant say how good they are to run in. Definitely size down if you order these.

These don't fit like my other Rogas. I'm having to return because the waistband is so loose that it's obvious they will just slide down when i run.

I just got these in the mail today so haven't tried them out running, but wanted to write that they run a tad big. The spandex underneath and lightweight and comfortable and they are a good length that they don't seem like they would bunch up at all. However, the waistband was too big for me. I would suggest sizing down one if you want the waistband snug, though there is a drawstring.
