@annajames2050 my all time favorite shorts are the original Nike Flex Repel shorts which can be found every so often on Poshmark or eBay. otherwise, i really like Lululemon Surge (linerless) shorts, Lululemon THE Short (linerless), and i typically like most of Nike's running shorts but often tear the liner out.
@annajames2050 Ten Thousand Foundation shorts cause they last forever and def worth the money. The first one I got about two years ago and they don’t look any different. Probably have at least two more years in them. But I find the liner to be too abrasive for long runs, so for those I use the Distance short or the Interval pants or 3/4 tights
@annajames2050 Gymshark Arrival 5" with zipper pockets. Best shorts I've ever had. Love the amount of quad they show off, they're cheap, super light and the zipped pockets mean I can run in them with my car keys in my pocket too.
@annajames2050 Birddogs. I’ve tried a lot of different shorts, but despite the cringey marketing, they are the best. I have 15 pairs. Sounds crazy writing that. But it’s all I wear for both working out and casual summertime. https://www.birddogs.com/collections/original
@servant1970 I’ve been living in them for just about 2 years now. No visible wear. All the elastic is still in great shape. The length is perfect on the 7” for me. Swear by them.
@annajames2050 I have two pair of the Ten Thousand Foundation shorts. I like them a lot. Will probably buy more when these wear out (though that will probably a while—they’re 2 years old and showing barely any wear)
Was not tempted at all by the Interval shorts. Not interested in shorts with no drawstring or pockets.
