Yeah- these are very short- really short. So short I almost returned them, but then I ran it these with my iPhone 16 plus- no bounce- awesome shorts.I’ll use these for half and marathons but will be getting the other flipbelt shorts for training. I don’t think the community will allow short-shorts every day!!! lol!!!
These are great. Although, I would have went with the other 2 styles if I’d have known this new style compression did away with the front storage mesh. This is my 4th pair of FlipBelt compression shorts and I wear them specifically because of all the great storage for marathons.
These are the shortest shorts I've owned. But they're also perfect for running, swimming or tanning. The belt part holds my phone securely while running. Also a gel or two. They're short, but that's good for true athletic style shorts
I really wanted to like these shorts, was hoping they’d be a solution for carrying enough gels for a marathon. Unfortunately, the pockets are too low, so anything more than one singular gels bounces all over the place, and no chance of carrying a phone or water back there. The quality of the shorts is great, but I don’t know why they would let build the storage into the belt part of the shorts to make them usable
The fabric is better than their Ouray Compression Shorts but the elastic waist band in this model is terrible. I have ordered this model from Amazon and Flipbelt and both elastic waist bands have come with damaged, exposed elastic fibers; both pairs were brand new.
The anti slip silicone is a nice touch to prevent the shorts from riding up, This has less pockets than the Ouray Shorts, you are losing the front storage pocket.
The main thing this shorts needs is a rear or side loop for a shirt, not a stretchy loop for a solid one that can hold your top while running. Great fabric and I love the anti slip silicone, but the lack of shirt loop and the quality if the waist band is what kills it for me. THE PRICE IS AMAZING! FLIPBELT Keep the price low and the quality high and people will come back and shop for more. This shorts are better than the pair of WOLACO shorts I purchased. Fix the quality of the waistband (make it the same waistband as the Ouray) and add a dedicated rear or side shirt loop (please do both) and this shorts for sure will be 5 out of 5!
