I cannot say enough amazing things about these shorts! The cut, the fit, the fabric, the pattern, the zip pocket, the soft seams...Perfection! I have done track speed work and long long trail runs with no chaff, rub, or readjusting~which is the gold star of a great piece of sports gear and why I choose to give it 5 more🤩! Thanks Malo Republic for creating gear that puts me through the paces in style!
