W's 7" Pace Short

LOVE THESE SHORTS. I am 5’ 10’’ and 150# and struggle to find running shorts that fit. I love compression style shorts over traditional shorts, but find they always either move too much by migrating up, or they are too short on my long legs. These are winners beacuse the 1) stay in place and dont ride up AT ALL and 2) are high waisted enough that i am not constsntly tugging at them. Used them on a 16 miler the first timw and they really hit the mark. Lots of storage and so comofortable that i actually forgot about some gels i had stashed when i took them off to wash. Will definitelt be buying more in the future. These are a new favorite.

These shorts are phenomenal. They stay PUT. The grippy dots work so well that I can pull the legs down or scrunch them up to get a variety of inseam lengths and no matter what, they stay where I put them. I’m pear shaped with a 29 1/2 inch waist, 39 1/2 inch hips, and thick thighs, and I ordered a medium because I didn’t want them to be too compressive. The fit is exactly what I wanted. The 7” fit below the widest part of my thighs and prevent chafing completely. They’re flattering on the bum. If you’re on the fence, I say you should definitely buy these.

Mostly as good as before, but a little worse?

I ordered two new pairs to replace a worn out pair and add a new color to my rotation. Pace shorts are the only shorts I run in anymore because they prevent most chafing. One of the new pairs (sea change color) came with a very strong chemical smell, and I had to wash it twice to mostly get it out. I also didn’t like the color pattern as much as the stock photo, but that’s just luck of the draw on how the shorts are cut. So far the new pairs fit as before, but I was really turned off by the smell and it made me question the claims about non-toxic materials.
