Reviews

Really Great Shorts

"I quite like these current FKT shorts. The best part is how they fit on me. Really, really well. They feel pretty relaxed without seeming sloppy. The pocketing options are also great as well. Big ones, small ones, inside ones, zippered one. In many cases, will be the only carrying space you need. Paired with a vest or belt, it adds a bunch of options - lots of trash pockets, for example."

— Ryan (5/5)

My Favorites!!

"I have worn many brands and styles and I continue to come back to these. I haven’t run ultras in some time but still workout and lift in these shorts (including CrossFit). Will continue to come back! They also last longer than most shorts, too."

— Nick (5/5)

Great Shorts

"Expensive by the time they were imported to the UK but better pocket layout and much softer liner than my Ronhill Tech All-Terrain 5" Short, so worth it overall."

— Russell C. (5/5)

Big

"I’m size 31 so got medium (31-33) and unfortunately the waistband and shorts are just too baggy so can’t hold anything heavy like a phone without excessive bouncing/shifting. Liner is also pretty huge. Hopefully the smaller size would sort this out. Material is nice and color pops as advertised."

— Tyler G. (3/5)

My fav runners

"Fit well, comfortable"

— Aaron R. (5/5)

Loose Liner

"These shorts are excellent in every way except for the liner. The liner is super loose and does not provide coverage. I now have 2 pairs and wished I had sized down. Other than that- amazing material, great pockets and super comfortable. Not able to return per the return policy : ("

— Dee (4/5)

Love

"I have four of these, and these literally make me want to throw out all other shorts (well, not my rabbit half tights). Everything about them is perfect. Pocket placement, zipper pocket just large enough to fit a standard iPhone, fabric… I love everything!!! Even the drawstring is perfection. These are my race day shorts and my training day shorts… even my hiking shorts."

— Jimmy (5/5)

Rocked for the London Marathon

"Really big fan of these, wore for the London Marathon and had EVERYTHING I needed as I stormed the course. Tons of storage, two soft-flasks from Runlimited in London, and kept me cool on what was a super hot day. Getting another pair in a different colour for sure. Bit loose as a Small on me, so would size down."

— Abhishek L. (5/5)

Need more colours and less high vis

"More colour options, less high vis. Back pocket isn’t big enough for iPhone 17 Pro with case"

— David H. (4/5)

First new running shorts in 15 years. .

"I've been running in the same running shorts for somewhere between 10-20 years, these popped up on Instagram, and I thought I would try them out. Gotta say I'm sold; I've bought 3 more pairs and that's all I run in now (past 3 months). I haven't ditched my old shorts yet, going to make sure these hold up but I have high hopes. Love the pockets, wasn't sure I would like the inside pockets, but they won me over. Tend to put salt tabs in one, gels in the two back, and a dude wipe in the other front and it works out perfect. Need more colors though!"
