Best running shorts!
"I have always run in leggings but recently moved to Florida so I thought I’d try running in shorts instead. I’ve always stayed away from shorts because my thighs chafe (I don’t have the thinner runner’s body) but these shorts are just long enough that I don’t chafe, while being short enough to feel cooler in the humidity. The compression is also perfect so they don’t ride up. All the pockets are super helpful for my phone, key, gel packets, etc. I’m training for a marathon and usually only wear them for my weekly long runs, but I’ll definitely be getting more!"

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 😊"

The best shorts
"They don’t move! So comfortable and fit well just ran a 50k in HEAT and these shorts didn’t budge or rub at all. Love them. I do t want to run in anything else."

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!"

Not just for trail racing
"I love these shorts for marathons! There’s plenty of pockets for all of my gels, phone, salt tabs, etc. ! I wish I discovered them sooner. They fit great and don’t budge."

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"

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."

Overall solid trail running shorts
"I found the upper band to be a little uncomfortable, possibly the fabric or the design (a different material perhaps? To ensure stability for the potential added weight of carrying items in the pockets?). I've used the pockets to carry phone, keys, nutrition, and a water flask. The shorts have not ridden up or bunched up or rolled up on me (at least not yet). The pockets are incredibly handy, but man, definitely a bit humbling to have bulges all over the waist *while* running. . . So, yeah, there's some jiggling happening. The design is super cute and the quality is, as expected, top shelf. Overall, happy with my purchase, even if wearing all my running junk around my middle means I definitely won't be making eye contact with anyone else on the trails."

Perfect shorts for long distance!
"I got these shorts for the Paris Marathon. They have tons of pockets (two on each side, plus front and back) so I didn't need to race with a fanny pack for my gels. The fit was perfect--snug, but not constricting. They didn't move or shift during the entire race. And the fabric is really soft, no chafing anywhere. These are truly amazing shorts! Got myself a second pair as a treat when I got home!"
