These shorts are perfect for running. They are comfortable and cool even during the summer months. The stash pockets fit phone, keys, gels. My last pair lasted 5 years! Amazing quality.

Very comfortable and supportive for running.

Not bad.

Followed the sizing advice and still a bit too big for me. Hence not sure I’m feeling any compression benefit with this size.

Nice light weight material.

Like the waistband pocket at rear.

Finally! Women's running shorts with functional pockets! I wore these shorts for a marathon, easily and comfortably carrying my keys, phone and some gels in the well-designed pockets in the back waistband. The wide waistband allows for ample pocket storage while fitting snuggly without digging in. The compression was noticeably supportive throughout the race with zero chafing! There is a drawstring, which I don't find necessary, and thankfully was able to pull out since it wasn't fastened in the seams. I wish these shorts came in all black, or black with other colours for the logo, so I could buy multiples! The only reason I did not rate as 5 stars is because the seams at the crotch are not in the best positioning and the gusset could be a bit bigger to alleviate that.

I have so many 2XU leggings! They never fail. This is my second perches with the shorts compression to add the my full length collection . i love the Mid Rise. i feel its more supportive over the hip and lower back area. if you are after compression 2XU are the best.. worth the price with the quality.
