Reviews
Color not as advertised
"I love these shorts. Just ordered a second pair but the actual Lyons blue is nothing like what is advertised. Sending these back as it is too much money to have shorts you do not like. I do have another pair that I love. So if you are not picky about the color these are great. If you are, maybe better to find a shop that sells in person than the online hassle."

Color does not match picture
"The color does not match the picture and rabbit edits its reviews so as to only show the good reviews."

fuel and fly 3” are my new fav for long, hot runs
"at 5’11/180lb I was a little concerned about the size M initially, but the material is lightweight with stretch. once I got going, I realized the fit was perfect, especially as they became soaked in sweat and still felt light and comfortable. love these shorts and will get more as more colors become available in M."

Great shorts overall very happy
"Great shorts overall very happy was optimistic that the material would’ve been a little lighter feeling otherwise very happy"

Sexy Flanders
"Don’t listen to the Homer’s, it’s nice when it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. Wish there were more 2. 5” shorts that also had a pocket for my phone; the only knock against these is no back zip pocket. These are limited to shorter runs or trail runs with a vest without that pocket. 🤷♂️"

Makes hot summer running a breeze
"These shorts were better in every way compared to previous brands' running shorts I've worn. They were airier, lighter, less restrictive, and more comfortable than anything I've run in before. First time I haven't had leg chafing on a long run in over a decade!"

Good Long Run Shorts, not enough split
"Pretty nice shorts overall, material feels really nice, the liner is comfortable, pockets are nice and make the short a really nice long run and marathon short. I do wish the split on the sides went a bit higher up however, got an XS based on the size chart, the shorts feel slightly restrictive and get caught a little my my thigh of whatever leg is leading on each stride, just seems like they are a bit too tight and I feel like if the split went further up the shorts that would completely eliminate that issue, might try a size larger and see if that feels better but these shorts are still more than useable, just moderately annoying. If you carry gels that are a bit larger the front pockets do not fit them very well, the rear pockets seemed bigger though and I was able to fit 2 gels in each rear pocket which still was enough but might be a problem if I am trying to carry all my gels for a marathon without picking up any from aid stations. If you carry smaller gels like Honey Stinger size for example though the front pockets should also be fine. If they made a full split short option, keeping everything else the same, I think these shorts would be perfect"

Favorite training/racing shorts
"These are hands-down, my favorite shorts to do my training runs in, and sometimes I race in them, but overall very comfortable and work wonders when I need to open up my stride"

Too heavy/thick
"The material was too thick. I am trying to find something light that will not hold water/sweat but these are not the shorts."

Love these shorts!
"These are fantastic, and they are incredibly comfortable for dozens of hours. Looking forward to running my long runs and racing my marathons in these!"
