I’m not sure how the sizing could be so far off! The medium was just too small, the large fit identically to the medium, and the XL fit like a XXL. It’s not even close. I want these shorts to fit so, so badly. They would be amazing. Did I somehow get faulty sizing on these?

Great shorts, perfect length and pockets are great they actually keep things in and don’t fall out.

These shorts were a bit confusing upon taking it out of the package. I didn’t know which was the front or back due to all the pockets and zippers. Once I figured it out I noticed how breathable they are. They are really thin but not see through and perfect for a jog, exercise or even hiking. The compartments do hold your phone and other things to make for an easier jog. What I do love is how it’s roomy. They aren’t super tight and is very durable. I washed them and they are still like brand new. These shorts are a bit shorter maybe mid thigh area depending how tall you are. There is several different textures on them that makes them stylish as well. Theres a flat waist band that allows for a stretchy waist and comfort. Overall, I would use these shorts strictly for hiking or running. The extra compartments confuse me way too much.

I think my legs are too big has they run up my inner thigh

I’m a big fan of the Nike ADV line and their 5” shorts in general so I thought this would be a great fit, and boy was I right. The material is light and feels great to run in. The shorts have a ton of pockets and look really good too. And best of all—they’re perfect in the rain. I ran in them during a rainstorm and the shorts didn’t get too heavy and the material held up beautifully. 10/10

The Nike Dri-Fit brief lined shorts are super comfortable. The fit is standard of most running shorts, but not overly tight. The feel is loose and flowy for any kind of workout or even just daily wear. The design is great and has plenty of pockets for all of your essentials. The fabric is lightweight and moisture wicking so that no matter how much you sweat, the shorts are able to absorb a good amount of moisture. What I like the most is the versatility of the shorts and the ability to wear them in different settings.

I personally really enjoyed the shorts I received. At first glance I was a little skeptical, but after trying them on I ended up loving them. I own a lot of shorts with a similar fit, but they usually lack good pockets. These have a middle pocket for keys that can also be zipped up, which is super convenient. I also really like the sleek design when wearing them. They honestly fit like a glove. For reference, I’m 5’9”, 160 lbs, and a size small fits perfectly. The material is very lightweight and comfortable as well. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars for design, comfort, and utility. I’m usually a pretty harsh critic when it comes to clothing, but I honestly have nothing bad to say about these.

These are great shorts! They strike the perfect balance between support and motion. They let you do everything you need and while they offer support, aren't too confining. There's ample storage for trekking poles and anything else you might need to carry but won't make you feel loaded down like a pack-mule.

I’ve used these shorts a few times since receiving them a couple weeks ago, and if you’re someone who wants zero restriction, these are a dream! The Pros: - True Mobility: These are ridiculously lightweight and packable. On the body, they essentially vanish. Because the fabric is so flexible, you can open up for a massive, aggressive stride without any of that annoying "tugging" or resistance. - “Hold My Jacket, PLZ!”: This is super practical and simplistic, but genius! There are drawstrings on the back specifically to loop a lightweight shell through. If you’ve ever ran miles or hiked with a windbreaker tied around your waist bouncing against your legs, you’ll realize this is the feature you didn't know you needed. Since these drawstrings are on the exterior of the shorts, your jacket doesn’t rub against your skin, so no chafing! - Stays Crisp: Even when in high humidity, these don’t turn into a heavy, waterlogged mess. They stay airy from start to finish. If they do get wet, they dry super quickly! Preference Dependent Points: • Pocket Chaos: This is my biggest gripe. Nike decided on an "eight-pocket design," but in reality, it feels like they just threw mesh slots and pockets everywhere. There are three mesh stash pockets in the front, two cloth pockets on the rear hips, and two small ones in the back, and zippered small pocket. I understand what they were going for being an ACG product, but it is a lot of noise. Personally, I’d trade all eight for five meaningful pockets: two on the side, two on the back, and a utility pocket that all use the same small, lightweight zipper found on the center-back phone pocket. I want to know my gear is locked down, not just "stashed" and hoping for the best. • The Liner Situation: To each their own, but I’m not a huge fan of the built-in brief. I have my own performance underwear that I’d rather use, and having to layer over their liner feels redundant and cluttered. If you’re picky about your base layer, this is going to be your main hurdle. The Only Downside: • Fragility: Because they’re so thin and high-tech, you have to treat them with a bit of care. If you accidentally trip or snag these shorts on branches, I could see them ripping. But, that is what comes with lightweight and thin performance-wear. Conclusive Thoughts: Overall, I still give these 5 stars because the pocket situation and liner are preferences by person. Just because I preferred something different doesn’t mean others would label these as cons. As for the fragility, I don’t knock any points because durability most often comes with weight. Inherently, I can tell a lot thought, innovation, and tech went into designing these shorts, and that is what I really appreciate about Nike products. I will be looking forward to wearing these more into the spring and summer!

These shorts are great for what they’re intended for - primarily running. The fit of the waist is true to size. The width of the legs is standard, not too slim, not too loose. The design is pretty sweet, with my favorite feature being all of the pockets, some more functional than others. It also includes these two loops in the back where you can use to carry a towel, shirt, or whatever else might fit there. The feel of the fabric is smooth. I usually wear compression shorts when training so I did have to get used to the liner (think the kind found in swim trunks) but it wasn’t a big adjustment. I also usually go with 7 inch inseams on my workout shorts, so these 5 inch ones are really short, so be prepared for that if that’s what you’re looking for. I believe the product description mentions reflective logos, but the ones on mine are rubberized prints and do not seem to be reflective.
