Great idea but needs some modifications

Great idea but needs some modifications. Bought these for a marathon along with two of their water bottles. Went training on a long run and the bottles were rubbing against my thigh leaving bloody scars on both sides. Definitely needs some padding adding to atleast support the flat bottles they advertise

Thank you for sharing your experience. Our bottles and hydration-ready products are designed to provide a secure, hands-free carry for a variety of activities, but we understand that fit and comfort can vary depending on body shape, bottle placement, and run duration. We appreciate your suggestion about adding additional padding for the bottles and will be sure to share it with our product team as we continue refining our designs. Thanks again for taking the time to provide such thoughtful feedback!

Great supportive shorts with pockets!

Great shorts that fit well with the flipbelt pocket system that carries everything I need securely without the bounce and ejections of other shorts. The I notice the elite shorts offer a little more compression than the original and Ouray lines, which doesn't change the fit for me. The leg grip strips hold the leg openings put very well for those that are looking for that feature.

NOT sure why Flipbelt deleted my review from my purchase last year.

The front of the waistband has issues and the stitching comes undone. Compared to the OURAY shorts this are missing the front pocket for no reason other than "its saves weight". The only positive about the shorts are internal silicone that prevents the shorts from moving around, and the 6" inseam, better for shorter guys.
