Longer length compression shorts that are comfortable and have great storage options for gels and small items. Mid rise shorts are a much better option for logging longer, faster kms and I would suggest adding a thigh pocket for soft flasks. I’ve always purchased a M in 2XU shorts and tights and needed to return these to size down. While this was slightly annnoying the exchange process was so easy and fast that it was not an issue.

I really like these shorts. & have bought more than one pair. The length is great for me and I like them overall. But, the sizing is slightly off for me. XS fits except they give me a wedgie. S is not as compressive as I’d like, but is the best size overall for me. I’m 5’8.5” 130lbs. I wish they had a pocket or two on the sides. Both times I received a pair that was clearly returned, had white marks on them & one pair arrived inside out. I understand they have to resell returned items, but at least clean them up so they don’t seem so junky (especially for the price & for a co that says they are “strict” about their return policy/process: “ 2XU has a strict Customer Return Policy and Procedure to ensure that each item is dealt with quickly and professionally.”) This is off-putting and makes me want to buy elsewhere.

Awesome look and great quality you expect from 2XU

Shorts a good fit. Main complaint is that the phone pocket has way too small an opening to fit my iphone.
