Great shorts with lots of storage, love the matte finish material. Missed the 5 stars only cos the leg pockets are narrow & its difficult to fit in a phone, and difficult to fit in soft hydration flasks especially getting them back in whilst running.

I wear these because I have a connective tissue disorder and compression helps provide sensory feedback. These are so far the most comfortable, aesthetically pleasing (the matte finish, intentional lines, flat seams), and practical (pockets--on both sides, and in the back!) compression shorts I've found. They're low-profile enough I can fit them even under leggings when I need the additional compression.

My one issue with these is the same as with the leggings--the exposed elastic waistband at the back creases the longer you wear the leggings or shorts, and it frays over time (and I do not put these in the dryer) because that's the nature of this material when it's exposed like this. It makes it look unsightly and can cause skin irritation.

I have an older pair of shorts purchased from a resale website and they've held up so much better because the back waistband is enclosed in another type of fabric. It also just looks a lot better and is more comfortable.

And you keep asking for feedback, and I'll keep saying this: I know the "conventional" way to measure for compression is by height and weight, but it's inherently problematic, which makes me feel like I can't trust the sizing. It's led to a lot of returns, though I'm glad the return policy is still generous. Measurements would be more helpful. I see measurements--for the model--were added a while back, which is somewhat helpful, but what about anyone else who isn't that size?
