Roga Shorts

Comfy, they dry quickly (at elevation) and the fabric holds up to wear and tear. Wore them on a backcountry hike where they got caught on sticks, stones, and thorns. Not a tear, hole, or pulled thread on em!

No other brand of shorts holds a candle to Rogas! I love the Wyld Flower print. It’s so versatile and matches a ton of shirts I already owned. I have an addiction.

I’ve been running in them since 2015
They have changed a little over the years but I still love the yoga waist and the comfortable panty. So many fun color options to choose from. I keep coming back every season for more!

Love the mountain pattern. Fit is awesome. Only improvement would be “toolbelt”. All my running shorts are toolbelt rogas. Thank you Oiselle!

So sad to discover that my brand new Roga shorts arrived and the inside liner was sewn in backwards. Need to check before you take tags off , etc. Giselle is making good on it and sending me new shorts, but I’m surprised they would allow this go out of their warehouse and to customer. Otherwise, I love the Roga shorts and the new pattern. Please keep adding more patterns!!! And Flyout tops to go with

After purchasing the Roga long shorts in the incorrect size, I still loved them. I ordered these with hopes they would arrive in time for my big Grand Canyon hike. They did! These beautiful shorts kept me cool and well ventilated for my hike. I also felt great in them too. I was also happy that my iPhone fit into the back pocket too. Highly recommend this gem!

I’ve worn Roga since 2015, so I have seen nearly every new innovative cut and fit from Oiselle since then. These are my new favorite! They seem to be a tad longer on the inner thigh and a feature higher cut along the outside (which is thinning!) that I LOVE because FINALLY I can run in the shorts that I want to wear and not compromise on inner thigh discomfort. Just as I was about to give in to biker shorts to run in, which are not for me. Way to go, Oiselle!!

I thought it’d be a no-brainer to buy more roga shirts considering how much I love my pairs from a couple seasons okay. Everyone is talking about these being so much looser, but I am having the exact opposite problem. The waist band is the same but they’re shorter and nowhere near as wide. Very disappointing for me because I have bigger thighs and needed that extra room. Going to have to return.

I have searched for the perfect running shorts and these are it! I am 5’5” and 150 so I’m not tall and lean but I don’t have huge thick thighs I’m kind of in the middle (I got the size 6) looks I love the flat waistband that doesn’t give me a muffin top and is comfortable. These are a respectable length, and my favorite thing about them is they don’t ride up! They are worth the money!

Still love my Rogas! The fit feels the same as last year. Size chart puts me right in between an 8 and a 10 (widest part of my butt right at my hip joint is 40”). I tried both sizes and like the 10 because the size up gives me a little better butt/thigh coverage. Got compliments from the first woman I saw on my run this morning 😊

Including a pict since I like it when other people do that too. Tank is the Silver Flyte in M.

I have some older Summer Rogas that are my go-to shorts, so I decided to reinvest in some new ones. I tested these shorts in a wide range of conditions — a 10mi trail run in the rain, and a 5-hour ridge run/hike/scramble in dry, hot, Western conditions. They are great in some ways, but also majorly miss the mark in some key ways.

Pros:
- Great material on the legs
- No bunching on the legs + the inseam length = zero chaffing for me
- Looks great, flowing along my legs and butt without being tight or baggy
- Beautiful colors (red and blue)

Cons:
- The waistband is WAY big. Despite being a very consistent size 4/small, I had to cinch the waistband 2-3 inches to prevent it from falling down. In fact, I had to cinch it so much that the waistband puckers where it connects to the leg material. When I tried a 2, the legs are very tight, which is not my thing.
- The waistband is NOT fully elastic. There is only 1" of elastic at the top of the waistband — the whole thing is not made of stretchy, elastic material. This compounds the large waistband problem.
- The length of the short (from waistband to crotch) is too short. As I'm running, the short length pushes the liner up into my crotch, causing it to stick to my lady parts for a permanent half-camel toe, half-wedgie situation while I'm running.
- The liner is too big for the waist-to-crotch length. Despite having a good booty, I can hitch the short up toward my high hip/waist for the liner to fit well. Needless to say, I didn't do this, because it compounds the camel toe/wedgie situation.

None of these issues exist with my older Rogas.

Bottom line:
With a "by women, for women" ethos, and a host of athletes and team members available for product testing, it is truly baffling how Oiselle missed these problems. I bought mine at 50% off, and it is *maybe* worth keeping the second pair I haven't worn yet, but I definitely wouldn't pay full price with these fit issues.

ABOUT ME
Heigh: 5'3"
Weight: 135
Butt/hip: 38"
Waist: 28"

In response to all of the raving reviews, I bought the Roga on my search for the perfect running short. I am 5'6" at 130 lbs, and I purchased a size 4 and 6 to see which fit best. Size 4 fit yet was snug (and definitely displayed camel toe), so I went with the 6 (pictured) and am really happy. They DO shrink in the wash, so now they fit even better. Drawstring front and zip pocket in the back are really great. I've run in them a few times now, and after about 3 miles the middle slides up and I start to chafe, which is really uncomfortable. Don't recommend for warm, humid runs, but I hope they do better as it cools down. Seeing as they're so expensive I wish we could send them back after a trial period, but I'll have to use these for hiking or HIIT activities.

The background:
Okay, so I have been a major supporter of another PNW active wear brand (Lululemon) for a while, but I have been unimpressed with their quality and size uniformity of late. I caved and bought these because I hear good things about everything Oiselle makes.
The data:
5'9", 145lbs, 39" wide hip, 29" natural waist, definitely longer legs than torso. I typically purchase a size 6 in all brands, especially Lululemon.
The info:
These shorts are very nice fabric and ultra stretchy! I have no worries about these shorts reducing my range of motion. I sized down to a 6 based on other reviewers and recommendations from a customer service rep, but I think I could have sized down to a 4 and gotten a better fit. There seems to be too much fabric in the waistband area below the elastic, but this might be the product of my proportions. I am also used to a wider elastic band, so it also may be that the style is slightly different. This may contribute to what others talk about with "camel to". See below for a picture.
One thing I *love* is the liner. WOW it rocks. It doesn't cut across my cheeks and give me weird lines! I think that is enough to keep buying these. Also, the pocket is amazing (fits my iPhone 8+ in a thin case). Also despite being taller (I don't think I am but everyone else says so), the inseam is great and provides plenty of coverage for me.
Overall:
I really like the Rogas and I will probably add more Oiselle to my running clothes wardrobe in the future!

Finally a pair of shorts that fit! To be honest, I’ve debated buying these for over a year and stuck to LuluLemon because I knew they fit half decently. But now I realize that I’ve been missing out this whole time! Looks like I’m going to order another pair ASAP!

Thanks for making such great fitting shorts! And thanks to everyone who reviewed to say size down. Typically I wear a 6.
(Size 4 fit perfect!)

I am 5'8", 155 lb, and consistently wear an 8 in all other Oiselle styles, but I had to size down to a 6 for the waist to be snug enough (I've never worn a size 6 in my life!) These are my first Rogas so I don't know how the new style compares to older versions. The fit is comfy and great to run in, but the low rise in the front does result in some camel toe, and I get VPL from the liner as well.
I have both the floral print and the solid, and I like the waffle-y textured fabric of the solid color more - it's a little more stretchy and flexible, and less "swish"-y than the floral.
The best thing about these shorts is 1) no chafing and 2) the big waist pocket! I love being able to run with my phone securely in the pocket - this is such a game changer (compared to sweaty running belts or holding my phone in my hand).
Overall, these are my favorite running shorts by far, but a couple tweaks would make them perfect!

Well, I already know I love Roga shorts and I was genuinely conflicted about what size to get. Many reviewers said the cut is different and blousy and baggy. I am a pear shaped 155, 5’7” lady and size 8 Rogas are my typical fit so I decided to play it safe and order the same size. I’m glad I stuck to my usual size instead of size down one. The fit isn’t as baggy as I thought but it’s true that the cut is not the usual Roga cut. I’m used to the sleek cut of Rogas but these seem reminiscent of those baggy diaper-butt shorts I wore 10 years ago. They don’t seem to skim the leg as cooly and now I am concerned that the blousy fabric will cause a bunch up where.... ahem.... you don’t want bunching up. Yep, my lady bits are still there when I run. However, I don’t necessarily love shorts that tell that to other runners. Sigh. I hope the pictures are helpful to others, but I am asking Oiselle to go back to the previous cut. The BB blue is a beautiful color.

Was expecting banana yellow, and these have a bit of orange in the color. I still like them though!

Great fit and really comfortable.

Llve thses shirts especially as a shory woman. Vety comfortable!

I love the smooth fabric of these shorts. They are cute and comfortable!
