Product Details
Technical Features
Targeted Compression Mapping: Flocked support lines trace key muscle zones at the glutes and hamstrings, reinforcing compression and grip exactly where your stride needs it most.
Secure Jacquard Waistband: One-way moisture-wicking elastic instantly absorbs sweat to keep skin dry, prevent slippage, eliminate roll-down, and reduce friction for a locked-in, contour-hugging fit mile after mile.
Precision Side Seam Construction: Ergonomic 3D cutting with added side seams follows body curves for better stability and comfort.
Reliable Two-Way Drawcord: Upgraded jacquard drawcord is soft, substantial, and comfortable when tightened; a simple knot holds secure without readjustment—can be worn inside or outside.
Premium Anti-Slip Flocked Hem: High-elasticity flocked binding with superior grip stays in place, prevents ride-up, and maintains durability through repeated washes.
Seamless-Like Gusset Design: Baby-grade seamless gusset stitching eliminates edge friction and minimizes chafing for smooth, worry-free long runs.
Reflective Markings: Eye-catching accents enhance visibility and safety for night or low-light runs.

Compression shorts praised for excellent pockets and sweat-wicking material. Customers said they "love these compression shorts" with "plenty of storage space." However, consistent sizing issues noted - shorts run very small with tight leg openings. Most recommend ordering 1-2 sizes up. Some report material changes from previous version.
Item arrived in a dirty condition. The plastic bag was dirty and a half open the insert paper was torn into pieces making a lot of mess, and the pants had a stain. This is the second product I had to return and request an exchange from Flipbelt because the item did not look like a new/clean condition.

Perfect middle ground between trail shorts and casual shorts
I bought these as a middle ground between the casual shorts and the trail shorts. These have the great waistline storage in the rear and the side hip pockets, but lack the front waistline storage and small zipped pocket. These are shorter in length but still high waisted with a drawstring, and I really like the material and style.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughtful review! We're glad you appreciate the style and functionality of our Elite Compression Shorts. If you have any suggestions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. Happy running!

Love these! Took these photos after my long run
Love these! Took these photos after my long run and rang them out and they show 0 sweat stains whatsoever. Material is not see through and the pockets are so nice! The deep leg pocket fits the 11os water bottle perfectly:)
Hi there! We're thrilled to hear you love the shorts and that they performed so well during your run. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Obnoxious logo
Fit was okay. The shorts have a MASSIVE “Flipbelt” logo on the front that is not shown in any of the pictures. If I had seen that, I would not have purchased.
Thank you for your feedback. We strive to represent our products as accurately as possible, including the logo shown on the shorts being the same as what's featured in both our product photos and videos! We understand that logo size and styling are a matter of personal preference, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Great! But order bigger size
I’m usually a M and ordered a XL. That’s kind of annoying but I have to say I’m glad I did because I love these shorts. Just the right amount of compression/cut and it does a great job of hiding the sweat. Ordered 2 more.

I took the recommendation to size up, and I was glad I did. these shorts are awesome and have great storage, but they are tight! I am a 5'0 woman that's 97lbs, 25 waist, 33 hips and I bought a small (kind of borderline XS and S but i am XS in most things). size up!

These run small and are super high-waisted!
I first ordered my usual small in these shorts. I have SO many shorts and tights from Flipbelt ... all size small, and they are perfect. I could barely squeeze into the size small in this short so I exchanged them for medium. Even the medium is tight! And they are super high-waisted so kind of dig in at the waist, even though they fit fine elsewhere. I am keeping them though as the side pockets are perfect for fitting my iPhone. FYI, I am 5' 5 1/2" tall; 135 lbs.
Hi Anne, thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback on the fit and will pass it along to our team. Glad you love the pockets! If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Runs very small. Completely different short than previous elite compression short.
Long time flip out customer.
Shorts are made of a thicker material. They run very small. Definitely do not fit like the previous compression elite shorts. I hope they bring the old fit back. Also, they put a large logo on the side, which is not seen in the pictures. Not sure why they changed the short that was selling out previously and replaced it with something that has much lower reviews.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback.

I love these compression shorts
I love these compression shorts. Not to tight around the waist and legs. The bands around my legs keep the shorts from riding up. Plenty of storage space for my long runs. Pretty color too.

I returned due to poor fit.
I returned due to poor fit. The legs are really tight. The front of the shorts are awkward and not flattering at all. The logo was way larger in person than it was on portrayed on the pictures when I purchased.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! Our Elite Compression Shorts are designed with a performance-focused compression fit, so they may feel more snug than previous styles. We strive to represent our products as accurately as possible, including the logo placement shown in our product photos so If you have any questions about your shorts, please reach out to our customer care team, they'd be happy to help!

I love these, but they run VERY small
I love these, but they run VERY small. I got a medium— like I have with every other flip belt compression shorts I’ve gotten—and maybe it’s that the length is shorter, but it feels like a small. They seemed comfortable and fine at first, but when I took them out for a 6 mile run, they kept riding up… the band didn’t help to keep them down. Sadly I can’t return them because I’ve already worn and washed them. I’m just buying a new pair a size up than my usual.
Thank you for sharing your experience! Our updated Elite Compression Shorts are designed with a more supportive, performance-focused compression fabric, so they do have a snugger fit than previous versions. We do note on the product page that they tend to run about 2 sizes small, so many customers find sizing up provides a more comfortable fit while still enjoying the benefits of compression!
If you have any questions about your order or would like to discuss your options, please reach out to our customer services team, we'd be happy to help.

The amazing shorts changed for the worse
Long time Flipbelt user and have previously loved these! But since the restock, they are completely different material, run smaller and the shorts ride up. I won’t be able to use these for any of my runs and apparently they don’t allow returns once worn…
Hello there! Our updated Elite Compression Shorts were redesigned with a more supportive, performance-focused fabric that provides increased compression, better muscle support, and improved durability for high-intensity training and long runs. Because of this, they have a snugger fit than the previous version.
Compression preferences can vary from runner to runner, so if you'd like help finding the best fit or another style, please reach out to our Customer Care team, we'd be happy to help. Happy running!

Great compression shorts
Great compression shorts. Fan of the Ourays so excited to try these and love them. But....like the other reviews say. They run really small. Had to do an exchange to the larger size.
Hi there! Thanks so much for your positive feedback! We're glad you love the shorts and appreciate your note about the sizing. Hope the other size fits perfectly! Let us know if you need anything else.

Too small
Too small. I love the old compression shorts and still wear on every run but new fit is not comfortable. I returned them and won’t be ordering again. I wear a med and am 5’4” 120 lbs but ordered a lg because of other reviews and still to small
Hi, thanks for your feedback.

Run very small. Thick fabric, pinches thighs
I have a lot of previous model FlipBelt shorts and absolutely love them. The Women's Compression Shorts Elite in 5” are my absolute favorite shorts but they’ve been out of stock for months. The large in those fit me well- a little loose, which is what I like. I’m 5’6” and 140 pounds. But these, my goodness. I could barely get the large on! I’m exchanging for an XL and we’ll see. The fabric is much thicker, the leg openings have much less stretch… so I’m not optimistic. Which is too bad. Please bring back the old shorts!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Our updated Elite Compression Shorts were redesigned with a more supportive, performance-focused compression fabric to provide increased muscle support, durability, and secure storage. Because of these updates, they have a snugger fit than our previous version. Many customers find sizing up provides the best balance of compression and comfort.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we'll be sure to pass your comments along to our product team as we continue to refine our products.
