Bought these a few weeks ago so hence the delay with this review as my event I used them for was yesterday, a 32mile ultra. Oh yeah, let's test em out then!
When I took them out of the package I genuinely thought I had ordered the kids size they looked that small and thin but no, they were my ordered size. They "grew" as I put them on and "adjusted" myself, (I must admit at this point I didn't feel confident and almost went back t my other shorts.) The ultra event went as well as expected and I kind of forgot I had these shorts on. Up until the last few miles I was waiting for the chaffing/rubbing rash t kick in and add t my day .... nope, nada, zilch! Now get ready, here is why these shorts are magic, well for me anyway. Err, parental guidance may be needed here ... Normally my post run shower consists of singing soprano or a whistling kettle with Tourette's as the water hits the rash around my inner thighs area, coupled with the mint n tea tree oil shower gel its does tend t smart a lot! So much so that the high pitched sound makes dogs look around going "WTF?" (Other shower gels are available.) But no, not with this little beauty and small bundle of magic shorts, no singing or dancing around like my "junk" is on fire today, just a normal shower in progress which in itself felt weird that I had t check t make sure. No rubbing, no rash, just well ... nothing! How and why are technical questions I'm not going t ask (as I'm afraid to,) but bloody hell they work, 32mile event no pain from the chaffing ... wow. Yes, I was very dubious at start but by end o day very happy with my purchase. Confident enough to say that these will be my go to shorts on my jaunts from now on.
Thanks very much from a chafe free happy customer.
