The shorts are great to move in and has several pockets, which is great for someone like me who brings a bunch of stuff when out running. The zippered side pocket (hooray for zippered pockets!!!) is big and roomy. The compression shorts underneath reached my knees (i'm 5'1"), and the shorts above are a bit puffy.These shorts are well made, and might be perfect for others, but they are just too big and bulky for me to wear running.The Pros- They have lots of pockets! They are well made.I personally do not like how big they look on me. I feel like my hips look much larger in these shorts, compared to my other running shorts.I think the shorts fit great on me and I am I male. I got the female because the Male model did not have the side zip pocket, it had no side pockets.My favorite pair of running shorts. Plenty of secure storage and a great fit. No chaffing.
