Lightweight running shorts with integrated storage pockets for phone, gels, and water bottle. Customers praised the "buttery soft" material and secure storage that eliminates bouncing. However, sizing runs small—most recommend sizing up 1-2 sizes. The waistband is notably tight and high-cut, particularly for petite shoppers. Great for marathons and long runs.

Great Little Shorts

Light and airy, (these are very short) and cool for long hot runs. The band at the top is a mid-level compression and stays in place on my waist while running. I like the little tabs you can pull to remove items from storage mid run. My only issue is they are never in stock! I want at least two more pairs but they sell out fast! I am 5'9, 160lb and normally a large in shorts/pants. I orders a large and they work fine, but I could easily size up.

Love these shorts

Love these shorts. I’ve bought one in every color and styles and more for my daughter. It’s great for long runs where you need to bring water and gels. No bounce. However, I highly recommend sizing up one or two sizes.

They run small and the cut is too high!!

They run small and the cut is too high!! 5’5 125lbs usually a size small or XS but needed a size medium and since the cut is so high it’s still not comfortable. I like the cut of the older version much better.

Bought these for the Key West Half Marathon

Bought these for the Key West Half Marathon. The absolute best! They were airy and perfect for the humidity during the race. I at no time felt like they were sweaty. The lining stayed perfect and did not ride up. The high waist band was comfortable and did not rub. Pockets were really why I wanted them because I love the flip belt itself however it rides up at times. These shorts 10/10! For those wondering for sizes. I am 5’8” about 115 lbs and bought a size small. Buying more and replacing my other running shorts. (I am in the bright yellow shirt.)

LOVE - but a high, tight waste for a petite

Love these, but the waist is tight and high for a square-bodied petite. Also, I'm sure if I were taller (4'11"), the wonderful light-weight material would not get caught within my in-between /: But - love the Flipbelt design and that I can dump my cumbersome, vascular choking arm band that holds my mobile (:

Hi, thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you love the design and the lightweight material. We'll keep your feedback about the fit in mind. Happy running!

I ordered the small

I ordered the small. My weight can fluctuate between 123 to 129 pounds. The size small works but I plan on ordering another one of these running shorts but in a medium to see if perhaps they are an even better fit for me. Other than that, I absolutely LOVE the fact that I can put my Samsung Flip Z7 into the back pocket and not even know it is there. I highly recommend these shorts! So happy I found FLIPBELT!

Hi there! We're so glad you love the shorts and the convenience they offer. Trying a medium sounds like a great idea for an even better fit. Thanks for recommending FlipBelt, and happy running!

Poor fit, tight waist. Uncomfortable

Just returned mine. Waist is disproportionately tight. Overall very uncomfortable fit. BRING BACK THE CLASSIC SHORTS!

Hi!

We’re sorry the Air Running Shorts didn’t work out for you! These shorts do run smaller through the waist because the built-in 360° storage waistband is designed to fit snugly and securely to help prevent items from bouncing while running. Because of that more compressive fit, we generally recommend sizing up, especially if you prefer a more relaxed waistband. We completely understand that the waist can feel very different from our Classic Shorts, and we appreciate your feedback!

Runs at least a full size, if not 2 small. Seem good in theory, but with sizing so unpredictable it isn’t worth it for me.

I got these for my half marathon and I really liked them and would recommend. They do run SMALL. I usually wear a small, so I got medium and I still feel like they were small. The band held my phone and gels with no problem. Did not bounce and not pull down.
