Shorts for the heat
"These lightweight shorts have a ton of storage. The best part is the draw string waist because the shorts don’t ride up or slide down. These are my new favorite and I’ll be ordering more for running in the Florida heat!"

"I love the fit, feel, and style of these shorts! The back pocket for a cell phone eliminates the need of having to use a running belt which is very nice! My phone stayed in place and never bounced around. The two side pockets are fantastic for putting in a set of keys or gels. I purchased the rabbit soft flask which fits in nicely. It was easy to take out during my run. I could feel the weight of the flask but it didn't bounce around in the shorts. This is my third pair of rabbit shorts and I absolutely love them!"
"If you're between sizes, go smaller. Don't be like me — I believed the "runs small" with these, and now need a size smaller. The drawstring waistband isn't enough to keep them comfortably in place for running once I add a phone. The phone pocket is the star. I can have running shorts *and* a cell phone pocket? Woot! I wasn't sure about the lack of side splits, but the FKT are baggy enough to not need them."
"I really like these shorts. They have quickly become a part of my preferred rotation. The shorts are lightweight and comfortable. My other Rabbit shorts are smalls, I ordered up a size for these based on reviews. I honestly could have still ordered a small. I kept the medium size because I wanted something less fitted for when I’m coaching and they are perfect for that. On my personal runs, I carry the 250mL hydrapak, fuel, and my phone. It’s nice to have pockets that can easily do this. Since I ordered up a size, I make sure to tie them tight at the waist when the pockets are loaded because otherwise they’d be too loose."
"Finding comfortable shorts can be a pain, but these have quickly become my favorite. Lots of pockets for multiple storage options. Will definitely add another pair when they are back in stock. For reference, I am 5’7” and 158 lbs. I got the large and they are a perfect fit."
"Love these shorts for my longs run…. Can carry my phone, keys, gels and two small flasks. The 4inch length hits just right on my 5ft frame. They stay in place and never ride up to cause chafing. I now only run in Rabbit shorts. I wear the Fuel n’ FLY 4” on my shorter runs."
"These have a nice fit to them. I haven’t worn them to run in yet since it’s been so warm in Michigan, but I’m hoping soon to be able to wear them on a run when it’s a bit cooler."
"These shorts are an essential for long runs. I can fit 2 of the 8 oz hydrapak water bottles, my cell phone, and plenty of fuel. Don’t ever stop making these! I love them!"
"These are great for warm weather as they are really lightweight. Love the colors"
"Great length and thoughtful pockets. The tapered leg is actually a really nice design… if I could change one thing I’d make the waistband a tad wider/softer. I’m usually on the fence between a M and L and went L due to the tapered fit."
