Great design, but material is very thin

I like the design of these shorts, the fact that they have seams in the middle and behind is great for me. However, the fabric is super thin , and appears not to hold as much compared to other bikes that have thicker fabric

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm preferring these style of shorts over the very short shorts at the moment. They are good for hybrid type exercise.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these! They don't ride up and sag at the tummy and are super comfy to work out or to wear leisurely. I'm currently plus size and would highly recommend as they don't dig in like some of the other styles and brands.

Perfect for gym
These are a great fit and true to size. They perfect for gym workouts during hotter weather. There is an integral phone pocket. Decent length on the leg. Would buy again.

Waist comes up large
Originally posted on adidas.com

I previously ordered the 5" Optime version of short leggings but they rode up and were tight on the thighs, the waist however, was supportive and didn't fall down. These were the perfect length, not too fitted on the thighs but the fabric is thin and the waistband is a bit loose in comparison. I still kept these as a loose waist but good fit on the legs is better than being too tight and riding up. So although the waist rolls down a little, the still stay up unlike some leggings I have.

Firstly, I’d suggest going up a size - I got an XL instead of L and glad I did as they fit perfectly, even though I’m a 16. These shorts are great; they’re a decent length, don’t roll up or down, and stayed put during my workout. I only wish they had pockets but otherwise they’re perfect!
