I wear these all the time in the hot florida weather and they don't get heavy from sweat nor is the sweat obvious to an outsider. They are a loose fit which is a nice change since I tend to be built bigger in the thighs with a narrow waist. They don't ride up. I can wear these shorts to run a 10k (I did actually) or to spinning class, out on the trail, or walking around the shopping center. The wide waistband means there's never a muffin top effect and the no-drawstring means I don't have to worry about tightening or anything becoming untied in a run. I wish they had more colors.

I bought this on-line without trying them on first. Mistake. I would not have purchased had I tried them on, because they have a very strange fit: too low-cut & too short on the one hand, but strangely baggy in the front near the top of the crotch on the other. I am slim & never have a "muffin top" in any other clothes, but these shorts make me look a little chubby, with a small muffin top. Ugh! I attribute this to the very short inseam & low cut: they stop about 2 inches below my belly button. They are very short -- perhaps too short; we shall see. Also, I have a little bit of a booty, and the back of the shorts pull and stretch in an unflattering way, making my hips & the junk in my trunk look much bigger than they truly are. The interior undies are small and feel constricting. I like that in general, the profile is narrow and slim, in contrast to the most recent Nike tempo shorts I have purchased which resemble diapers. I was excited about these Glycerin shorts, but sadly they are very unflattering. For size comparison: I am usually a size 0-4 in street clothes, depending on brand; wear a S in the Nike Tempo & an XS in the Athleta Hana short. I ordered a pair of S in the Glycerin. I don't think going up a size would help, because this would probably make them too baggy. Overall: I give these shorts a resounding UGH.

Comments about Glycerin Short:
I ordered these in 1 color and then bought 2 more. They are my favorite right now for running and would be perfect if the pocket was a tad larger and had a zip closure so I don't have to make a choice between keys or gel.
I'm 5'8", 130 lbs, athletic build, and normally wear a size 4/5 and purchased the small, which fit perfectly.

Comments about Glycerin Short:
These shorts have a comfortable, moveable fabric, so they don't feel constricting. They also don't ride up which is nice, but they are a bit short. I run marathons and am a 5'7" 145lb woman. I wear these for my shorter (<5 mile) runs. Anything longer than that and I get chaffing in my thigh area. If your thighs don't touch at all, these are great shorts. The pocket also does not have a zipper, so I am not comfortable putting much in it for fear that it may fall out. I would say that these shorts are good for short runs and general casual wear.

These shorts are perfect for running. They are a tad shorter than some of the shorts I typically wear but they look good and feel great. Very lightweight and moveable.

These shorts feel good on and don't have that extra fabric in the hips that some shorts have. But they are too short.

Comments about Glycerin Short:
I bought my first pair of Glycerin shorts from the website a year ago & have worn them non-stop since then. I even wear them in the winter (with tights under them). They've gone through the wash a minimum of 200 times this last year and still look & feel like new. They ride just above my hips-right where they should be and have the perfect inseam length. I really love the back pocket-perfect for a couple GU's and my ID. I finally bought a 2nd pair at the Chicago expo & wore them for the marathon yesterday. LOVE them! Now I just need a few more colors to round out my running wardrobe!

Comments about Glycerin Short:
I have a hard time finding shorts that I think fit well and look good. I do not like very loose shorts for working out so these are perfect. They are tight enough but not as tight as compression shorts so they offer a nice alternative. These shorts are comfortable, fit well, and look great.
I am not a runner so I use these for any general working out or sports. I wear them hiking, to the gym, to the beach, even for yoga and just lounging. I like the small pocket on the back. The built in underwear is not a feature I have ever cared for on any item, but it does not bother me. I have these in a bright blue color and love that they come in other colors besides black.
I will buy this item again.

Comments about Glycerin Short:
I am 41 years old and have been looking for a short not too short but yet still fits nicely and comfortable. These shorts are perfect. Can hardly tell you have them on. I have run for 31 years and these shorts rock! I have black and grey! They do not ride up between your legs.
