These are short that cost substantially less than some other brands comparable offerings. To say Flip Belt exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. Zero bounce, zero chaffing, and zero complaints from me. I ran two of my fastest marathons in the last 15 years only a couple weeks apart and the shorts delivered on all fronts. I went with these over the "elite" shorts for the extra pocket up front. Room to stash gels, trash, gloves, hat, and a bottle, if you want, and it all stays put. Supportive enough to go without a brief. Breathable enough to not over heat if temperatures rise. Plenty of color options other than just black is a nice bonus. I've been running competitively since 1992 and I rarely feel inspired to write a review, that is how much I like this short.
Disappointing!!! I wore them for my 17 mile long run, in 48° temp, and i could barely walk after due to the chafing. Not sure what FlipBelt’s thought process was in designing these, but this material doesn’t breath at all. They actually feel like scuba shorts in a way. One positive is the storage is awesome though, especially if you use larger gels. It’s the only reason I’m not giving them 1 star.
Good fit The phone stay in place good fabric
I'm very pleased with these tight-shorts. They fit perfectly, are very thin and you don't notice them being there when you're running. The cargo carrying capacity isn't massive but is better than similar shorts by Nike or Brooks I've tried. You can carry your car keys and phone at least without issues. As far as the fit, I don't get why some people say they're too small: the brand clearly says a Medium, which is what I bought, is for waists 29-30. These are shorts for competitive distance runners. Expect a tight fit.
Great fabric fit perfect size xl 5’7 225 pound ready to order again in the future love the multiple pockets for the phone gels and the small one with zipper for the keys
