No more chafing
The lining is smooth and comfortable; much more comfortable than the net lining that I'm used to.

5 Reasons Runners Are Ditching Their Running Shorts
The mesh liner in your running shorts is what takes the skin off your inner thigh at kilometre eight. It was never your stride. Five reasons that stops.
1. No more chafing — not at 5k, not at 20
Your running shorts have a mesh liner. A net, made entirely of edges, passing over the same two inches of skin ten thousand times a run.
Ours is one flat panel of swim fabric. No net, nothing to saw.
2. At 6am, drivers see you early — not at the last second
In half-light, a runner in grey or black is a shape that resolves late.
Fluorescent fabric converts the UV in dawn light and throws back more than lands on it. It reads brighter than white — which is why road crews wear this colour and not a paler one.
3. Your phone stops being a decision before every run
Armband, belt, or carry it for 10k — you've tried all three.
These pockets were built to hold keys through surf. A phone through a run isn't a problem they notice.
4. Twenty minutes after you stop, they're already dry
This fabric was built to come out of the ocean, so it can't absorb.
Sweat sits on the surface and goes, instead of soaking into a waistband that stays heavy the whole way home.
5. Nobody in the café knows you just ran
Reflective trim and contrast panels announce that you've been exercising.
A 5-inch tapered leg in a print just looks like shorts — so the run ends when you stop running, not when you get home and change.

Straight from gym to water
Use them as my workout shorts when pool or ocean time is on the plans. Straight from gym to water.

Perfect for the gym
I have 5 pairs. Bought my first for swimming and realised immediately they were perfect for the gym.

What size should I take?
85% of buyers say the fit is perfect straight out of the bag. Of the ones who mention sizing, more say snug than loose — so if you're between sizes, take the larger. Exchanges are free.
Do I wear anything underneath?
No. The compression liner replaces underwear entirely — that's the whole design. Briefs underneath put back exactly the seams the liner exists to remove.
Will they fade?
The ink is sublimated into the fibre, not printed on top, so there's nothing on the surface for sweat or sun to strip. Rinse cold, air dry. Our oldest reviews go back to March 2018.
What if I don't like them?
Send them back inside 30 days. No questions, no restocking fee.

Stop planning your run around your shorts
The chafe, the soaked waistband, the phone, being invisible at 6am. None of it was your stride.
