Customers praised these compression shorts for exceptional comfort, fit, and "tons of secure pockets" for phones, gels, and water bottles. Many called them "the best" running shorts, with no chafing or bouncing. However, some reported issues with chafing, breathability concerns, sizing inconsistencies, and a modesty panel that's "too small."

There's a pocket for everything in these shorts!
There's a pocket for everything in these shorts! I carried a selfie stick, several gels, snacks, ID/cards, cash, phone, and a water bottle. All of it stayed in place and did not bounce around on my long run. Aside from the massive amount of pockets, these shorts were very comfortable to wear.
Hi Wayne, we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Ouray Compression Shorts and found them so practical and comfortable! Thanks for sharing your experience and happy running!

My new favorite running shorts
My new favorite running shorts. I love all the pockets and storage. They are also super comfortable. Other compression shorts either have no liner or have built in underwear that rides up. These have a modesty and panel and I have never had a problem with them riding up.

Thicc thighs save lives
This is probably one of my favorite pairs of running shorts. As a guy with thicc thighs that likes to run I really appreciate how they feel and look while running especially long distances

Extraordinary Running Kit
I love my FlipBelts. The compression shorts are amazingly comfortable. I ran my first Marathon ever in January and with a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon 2027, three months before my 50th birthday. The comfort and logistical wisdom of the Flipbelt have made me a big fan. I stored my gels, phone, and car key on me. No rub, no discomfort, and easy access to my gels.
I am hoping they produce more colors. I also wore a lightweight Flipbelt shirt, which also felt awesome and coordinated perfectly with my compression shorts. Look good, run good! 🏃➡️👟

Unbeatable short for the price!
These are short that cost substantially less than some other brands comparable offerings. To say Flip Belt exceeded my expectations would be an understatement. Zero bounce, zero chaffing, and zero complaints from me. I ran two of my fastest marathons in the last 15 years only a couple weeks apart and the shorts delivered on all fronts. I went with these over the "elite" shorts for the extra pocket up front. Room to stash gels, trash, gloves, hat, and a bottle, if you want, and it all stays put. Supportive enough to go without a brief. Breathable enough to not over heat if temperatures rise. Plenty of color options other than just black is a nice bonus. I've been running competitively since 1992 and I rarely feel inspired to write a review, that is how much I like this short.

Great storage, there's a pocket for everything (Gels, water flask, phone, keys) that I take with me, without having to wear a belt or fell 'bouncy' during my long runs.

I like all the colors.
I like the color scheme, they feel like second skin. The pockets are plenty and very useful, especially the separate pocket for your car key.
No chafing, pockets hold my GU or my 5oz bottles. The side pockets are just as good.
Been using them on my LR in the Hot/Humid Summer of Houston.
I am 60yoa/Male 5’10” 165lbs and run 40-60 miles a week. The Medium size is perfect for me.

Not the same as the old style.
I loved the old shorts with the pouch in the front. These are not it and much less comfortable which makes me sad the old ones are no longer available.
Hi Alex, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear these shorts didn't meet your expectations. Therese shorts were made for increased compression and support and still have plenty of storage. But we understand your preference for the shorts! We appreciate your support and hope to offer exciting options you'll love in the future!
