I have been wearing the little bit longer shorts while training for the Mississippi Gulf Coast Marathon through the hot summer months in Northern Florida. They seem to wick sweat away and never bunch up! I like how lightweight they are and yet, how they feel supportive throughout my 20 mile runs. Plus, they cheer me up and I get tons of complements on them. I am so tired of black and neutral colors - they really keep a smile on my face through the miles.
