Sturdy, breathable, and loaded with pockets for your essentials, these shorts are a solid pick if you’re looking to invest in a new pair of running shoes. Made with a blend of polyester, elastane, and spandex for durability and stretch, these shorts are lightweight enough for long runs. They also have a wide waistband and an adjustable drawstring, which helps you dial in a tight fit. A zippered pocket in the rear holds your keys, while a snap-closure pocket in the waistband keeps small items secure during the run.
The updated version of Nike’s popular Eclipse 5″ short offers added storage options and sweat-wicking performance, with a fabric that moves with you. The outer shorts use Nike Flex fabric, which is made from recycled fibers, and a wide, high-rise waistband with stretch material adds support. The inner brief liner uses zoned mesh for breathability, and the entire short has a vapor-barrier zipper pocket to keep your phone dry and protected from sweat.
These shorts are an excellent option for women who don’t like wearing a belt, as they feature a zippered back pocket for valuables, and a side pocket for easy access to your keys or ID. The stretchy fabric is made from a blend of polyester and spandex, with plenty of support thanks to the internal drawstring in the waistband. The hems are split along the side seams for extra mobility, and these shorts are available in a 3-inch inseam for minimal coverage, or a 5-inch for more protection.
These shorts were designed for hot weather, and the breathable fabric does the job. The wicking fabric pulls sweat away from the skin and evaporates it quickly, keeping you cool and comfortable during your run. They’re light and airy, but they do have a snug fit, so those with thicker thighs should consider sizing up. The swoosh logo on the hip adds a stylish look that will turn heads. This is a great pair of workout shorts for a variety of sports activities, including running, hiking, and more.
