Saw the tights thread so got me wondering. Ramping up my training again and haven't bought a new pair in a while. Like a pair with brief liner as short liners seem to chafe me after longer mileage. I think bc most built in tights aren't tight enough to provide protection. Unless there is a short with tight liners that perform well for yall.

Favorites at the moment are Janji Middle short and Track Smith Sessions. Both are great but don't have pockets.

terignota. quality and very affordable.

i don't like built in liners, but since you asked, terignota has the brief liner built in.

I have a couple pair of the REI 5" running shorts with the brief liner. No issues or chafing. I still put on Vaseline for anything above about 8 miles.

Currently out of stock. But put my email down for when they come in. That price is wild!

they run out of stock a lot. its basically one guy running the company.

Do you run with a phone in the back pocket? If so, how does it do bounce and stability wise? I started running with my phone recently, and the belt options I've tried have been hit and miss at best.

typically no. i don't like the phone in the back. that seems to be the spot where it will bounce....even if its a small amount, it ends up chafing.

half tights - phone in side pocket
most running shorts - into a zippered side pocket
terignota - goes into the waistband "pocket" on the front side.

if i'm wearing my vest, it just goes in there and isn't in the shorts at all.

and this time of year, always in a ziplock bag due to the humidity and sweating.

I really really like Fabletics.

Patagonia Strider Pro 7 inch.

I really like the Ten Thousand brand shorts. They are more of a crossfit brand so more geared towards that so they are heavier than running shorts. A little priciey too, sometimes they have deals (buy 2 get 3rd half off - type)

They have 5, 7, and 9 inch options with/without liner. I've never had luck with liners briefs or tights, except for these. Super comfortable not too tight. Accessible pockets that holds a phone well. They also have a tights pocket for a phone if you like that.

I get the Interval shorts. Again a bit on the heavier side. I have some of their Session shorts - marketed for running so they are lighter. The pockets on those aren't as accessible - kinda at an odd angle. Still fits a phone, I just struggle a bit to finagle it out while in stride.

Good to know.... their adds are all over my feed. They look really nice.

Running in the Patagonia 5s today

They're great. My only con on them is cost but I've made warranty claims on Patagonia stuff that is over 5 years old and they just send me new stuff.
