Why We Like The XA Short

For freeing happy hour miles, we pull on the XA Short. We unburden our hands by slipping our soft flask, phone, gels, and sunscreen into the bounce-free waistband pockets. The breezy material feels weightless, while Salomon's AdvancedSkin technology ups the quick-drying power, giving us low-friction strides under the scorching afternoon sun.

favorite running shorts

These are lightweight, dry fast and are the perfect length (I’m 5’5”). I like the thick waistband and find myself reaching for them again and again.

Great Material but they fell apart

I bought my first pair of these and loved them so much after two longish runs that I bought a second pair. The material is super light weight and breathable. I especially loved the high waistband that was strong enough to stay up with my phone in the pocket. Went to put these on for a 50k race and the inseam had totally come apart and I had only worn them 2-3 times prior. After the first run with the second pair the waistband seams completely came apart as well.

I loved these when I first got them, but after two runs the inseam completely fell apart. I had ordered a second pair because I loved the cut and material so much, but the stitching on the waistband came out after the first wash.

Very Comfortable

I was worried these would ride up like so many other shorts but they don’t.

Great Features

I bought these for trail running/hiking specifically and LOVE THEM. The length is perfect for everything that I needed, the waist pockets are helpful, the extra height over the tummy is nice and secure, and the back pocket is quite large. Only issue I have is that I would like the waist pockets to be a little deeper. They're pretty shallow if you want to put things you really don't want to lose in them.

Excellent waistband pockets

Love all the pockets. A rear zip fits my phone. Very convenient. I wish they made a shorter version and that there were other colors to purchase.

Runs small

Runs very small. I sized up and it was still too small. Normally wear a medium and should have got an XL.

Go to running shorts

These are definitely my go to running shorts. Have in all available colors. Fit great, moisture wicking and tons of storage. Fit my phone, fuel for long runs and keys no problem. Using for marathon training on road and some trails. Definitely recommend.

By far my favorite shorts!

I purchased the black pair in a size small a couple months ago. This is by far my favorite pair of running shorts! I wear them all the time for hikes, short swims, walking the dog, and even lounging in the house. I love them so much I ended up buying two more pair; they fit snug in the waist and do not fall down or move around. The multiple pockets are perfect for my phone, ID/Debit card, small sets of keys and chapstick! Length is perfect and they don’t bunch in between my thighs. I’m 5’4 125-130lbs and the Small is great.

Great running shorts

Great running shorts with ample storage along waist. Able to carry keys, phone, and fuel for long runs. I have purchased all available colors since they are so comfortable. Able to tighten waist if needed. My go to shorts for trail or long runs.
