Best running shorts for men according to redditors

Baleaf is the most often recommended Amazon brand for price and quality.

I just got these Baleaf 5" Shorts for $17 and I love them. They’re so light and soft. Excellent value. I have an older UA pair that are very similar and those cost twice as much.

How I would do the Pyrex Aesthetic On a Budget

1. Leggings. You already have the leggings to that's a plus we can cross that off!
   
   
2. Shorts. Pyrex prints their clothes on Champion so a pair of cheap champion shorts could work in place of pyrex ones. But if you wanted to go above and beyond and save up you can get the ones made by Off-White which is deigned by the same guy as Pyrex and shares very similar designs.
   
   
3. Shirt. Pyrex Shirts don't go for too much, but a good alternative could be a plain black or white Gildan hoodie or shirt or the Stussy x Pyrex Vision Shirt.
   
   
4. Shoes. Can't go wrong with some Mid Top Air Force One's!
   
   
5. Bomber Jacket (Maybe). I feel that a good way to elevate this fit to over 9000 would be a black plain bomber jacket!

Search "packing your fears" for some discussion pertaining to the knife. IMO, if four extra ounces of knife is the difference between a fun trip and a trip filled with sleepless nights of pants-shitting terror, go ahead and take the knife. But those are the ounces that start dropping out of your pack when you ask "do I really NEED this thing?"

As for clothes, the thing that stood out to me was your pants and shirt at 36 ounces; you could easily halve that. The pants are twill, so I'm guessing cotton, which sounds miserable. Columbia or the synthetic workout stuff you find at Target/Walmart is a decent place to start on a budget, and you can obviously spend a lot more if you want to. I have these, that whole line of running wear is pretty cheap, of reasonable quality, and available on Amazon.

I love my Baleaf shorts... I have both 5" and 7" versions and there's a zippered pocket on the back that fits my iPhone XS Max just fine. They're very reasonably priced as well!

I'm very pleased.

I just recently bought a couple pair of short shorts (2-3 in inseam) both brands in the $15 dollar range.

The Time to Run Pace, and the Baleaf Pace I liked them both after a single wearing. The Time to Run is sewn a bit better and you have to size up according to their sizing chart, but the fabric of the Baleaf is softer. So far I like them both.

Game Gear has some nice made in the USA shorts, but the short short versions are nylon, and I don't like how they stretch out when it's raining or when your really sweating up a storm.

I caught some Soffee "Ranger Panties" on sale once, $10 for an orange pair... and they are Errr... Hooters girl shorts for guys. I still have a couple fucks to give before I wear those in public (but nice summer PJ's)

Hello fellow short friend,

I’m 5’7 and these shorts are a goddamn delight. They end about one inch above my knee and fit perfectly and have pockets.

I had the same issue. I bought these on amazon on a whim because they were short money and I figured it wouldn't be a huge loss if they sucked. I've bought 3 more packs since, they're pretty great.

these new balance shorts are my favs. I have a few pairs and they're perfect: normal pockets and light and airy. Not too expensive, either.

These shorts would really make my boyfriend's day! Make me smile, Rasta! And thank YOU for the contest :)

I personally just wear running shorts. The length depends on what you like, go 7” or 9”.

My favorite are Patagonia but have a bunch of different pairs ranging from cheap C9 from Target to expensive Nike shorts.

Amazon has some ok shorts from a brand called Baleaf, they are cheap but decent enough. Give them a try?

Baleaf makes some solid pairs and you can find them on Amazon for cheap. I ran a marathon in them a few years back and loved them. They are definitely my go to shorts.

It's hard to find running shorts with pockets. These are my favorites:
New Balance Men's 5-Inch Go 2 Shorts. They make a 7-inch version too.

Zebralight is great (I have the H52w). Highly recommended.

Pertex Shield is a good fabric for UL rain jackets. I like the Outdoor Research Helium 2. Except it doesn't have pit zips. The successor model (Outdoor Research Helium HD) does have pit zips and an improved hood, but it's a lot heavier.

For shelter I recommend the Six Moon Designs Wild Oasis pyramid tarp. It's fully enclosed, with perimeter bug netting, so it has a very tent-like feel, but it's very light and compact. And it's only $175.

(I <3 Amazon)

• Baleaf, available at Amazon. I have a couple pairs of the 7" quick dry and one of the "Pace" 3" quick dry.
  
• Old Navy, but only when they're on sale. I saw a couple 2-day 50%-off sales on Activewear in the past few months, but I wouldn't count on one before your race.

Amazon is definitely overwhelming but I've found their Baleaf shorts work fine. They're light, cheap, and have a 3" inseam. One note of caution - the "drop in pocket" is pretty much useless other than for storing a key and they don't have other pockets. I would also order a size up as they tend to run small. https://www.amazon.com/Baleaf-Quick-Dry-Lightweight-Running-Shorts/dp/B01FJPW94A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1537995813&sr=8-1&keywords=baleaf+running+short

Here you are

Figured these would be more up your alley

I bought these ones. Highly recommended!

Trying to find a good pair of trunks. I like this style but I want them as proper trunks with the mesh. Any recommendations?

I kinda like these tbh

New shorts for the first time in 5+ years. I would periodically shop for a new pair online, but the cost of anything from the name brands made me roll my eyes and I had bad experiences with the quality and comfort of cheap stuff. Found these for under $20 and now I'm freshly shorted, 3 pairs to be exact. They're just as nice as the New Balance pair which were previously my favorite.

Also it was time for new tires so I picked up some NB RC1500's. My last 5 pairs have been the RC1400 V1-V5, it's a bit of a change.

I like these.
