Quick Take Review

Let’s cut right to it, I have been running for ages and the REI Fleet Shorts are by far the most comfortable lined running shorts I have ever worn. They also provide ample support without compromising comfort.

To be honest, I was initially hesitant to give these shorts a try. I typically wear more traditional gym shorts on my runs, but have been looking for a solution for carrying my iPhone. The REI Fleet Shorts provided a solution.

Specs
Inseam: 6 inches
Material: 86% polyester/14% spandex

But before getting to that detail, let me also describe the fit and feel of the shorts. As mentioned this product was very comfortable. It also breathed nicely, and kept out moisture. Further, and most importantly, it did not bind in any of the wrong places.

As mentioned above, this product provided an elegant solution to my iPhone issue. In the waistband there is a horizontal pocket with sturdy elastic which had ample room for my phone which I have been unable to find previously. While at first I was concerned the phone would not stay put, the pocket had no problem holding it securely throughout the run even through the rockiest terrain. Also there are several other useful pockets including one zippered one.

The REI Fleet Short is very comfortable and capable. Overall great product!
