Here’s the thing: I sweat A LOT, especially when it comes to any training of the cardio variety. I get sopping wet, so much so that it looks like I just dove into the pool. This is very much why the right gear matters.
Not only is running in sweaty shorts uncomfortable, but it also exacerbates fit issues, which means I can spend way too much time tugging them down, hoisting them up, or generally just trying to make them sit right. I don’t want to have to touch my shortsAnd this, for me, has been much harder than it may seem.
All this pickiness about my gear can make finding the right pair of running shorts almost harder than running up hills in the heat. Almost. But I’ve got good news for you: I’ve done some intense wear testing and found two pairs of shorts that do the job . Here’s the criteria I used, in order of importance, for finally finding the two pairs of running shorts that I’m currently swearing and sweating by. I’ve worn each a bunch of times since, for runs that last anywhere from 60 to 120 minutes, in a combo of road and trail, and in temps from 70 to 85 degrees.If running shorts ride up, I don’t want them. It’s annoying, and the more a pair of shorts ride up, the more likely they are to cause chafing for me, especially when I get very sweaty.
Oh, and one bonus hint for you: Pockets. Having at least one pocket is fairly common in running shorts. Personally, I don’t use them much, so they are more of a potentially useful perk rather than a deal breaker. But I will say that if the shorts have good, well-thought-out pockets, chances are they have a well-thought-out design all around. So, looking at the pockets can be an extra clue to their quality.
