My favourite running shorts!

"I love these shorts. After endless deliberation (I’ve got a mix of both small and medium Rabbit apparel), I went for a size medium. For context, I’m a 5ft 3”, 128lb, with quite muscular legs. Material: wonderfully soft, stays put, doesn’t ride up. I’ve done a few all-day running and walking adventures and have held up well. Perfect thickness of material, versatile for all (UK) seasons. Pattern and colour: great Pockets: oh my gosh the pockets! These have SO much room. Side pockets don’t feel weighted down when carrying water/phone in them. The waistband’s many pockets are a dream. These were quite an investment for me (UK shipping fees) but no regrets whatsoever 😊"

Stays put and stays comfy!!

"Literally love these. Had tried an older version in the past that did not fit as well around the waist, where the extra pockets are, but this new version absolutely delivered! They stay put, have just the right amount of compression, and plenty of room for all my goodies on my long runs!"

Emily B. (5/5)

I’ll never race in any other shorts

"I can’t wear any kind of belt or storage for fuel etc. I’ve tried them all. For some reason these pockets around my waist feel different than a belt and I can carry all I need without my waist feeling too loose or like it’s dragging down. And for vanity’s sake, I no longer look like a pack mule in race photos carrying everything in my side pockets"

Corey (5/5)

Horrible Drawstring

"I love the shorts and how comfortable the fabric is. The drawstring twists horribly however and is very difficult to tighten to the right spot. To top it off, you cannot remove the drawstring to replace it. This is making me hesitate to purchase more shorts from Rabbit. Very disappointed."

Older R. (2/5)

Love them!

"Love these shorts! They don’t budge or ride up at all and are super comfy!"

Amber C. (5/5)

Favorite all around Shorts

"These shorts are meant for woman with bigger quads, no creeping up even on the long runs! The waistband storage is seamlessly integrated with no bounce (of course within reason with not packing too much) and again perfect for those long runs! I need all the colors!"

Miranda (5/5)

Solid + pockets a match made in heaven

"I have been trying to get a hold of a pair of smashems for awhile now and finally pulled the trigger. I was skeptical that they wouldn’t compare to my oiselle ones that have some super nice waistline pockets but I do love these. Slightly thicker material, fit well, and pocket access is just what I was hoping for with all the snacks and fuel. My only wish is that I would love a 3” inseam option. Excited to add these to my lineup this season for ultra racing."
