Lovely neutral colour

I bought these shorts while looking for gym wear. Although these are more leisurely wear. I fell in love with the colour and the softness of the material. Just wish you made tips in this colour

Decent option for longer shorts

Yes, I recommend this
I bought these shorts as I wanted a pair of shorts that were longer than 5 inches. It is impossible to find any that aren't either cycle shorts style or are cycle shorts with running shorts over them. The choice is very inclusive for taller people. I don't want shorts which don't cover my knickers nor do I want the heat of wearing two pairs or tight shorts! Anyway these shorts are the only option and they are fine. They are thicker than I would like but beggars can't be choosers! Sizing seems to be accurate. Please come out with more longer options!

Looking forwards to wearing them if sun comes out!

Love these- been waiting for ages for them to come in in this colour stone and this longer length of 5.5 as I’m in my 50s and tall at 5.9 - they seem as good as the navy n black ones I got last year! Used my blight light NHS discount too! Can’t wait to wear them over the Easter holidays in the sun actually comes out!

Versatile shorts great longer length

Great pair of shorts will work for the gym or everyday. As others have said these shorts are a great length for taller people and more wearable than very short shorts for every day, but not a frumpy length. I am 5 foot 8.

I know they are expensive but they are so comfy and a great length. They are my go to shorts now whether I’m cycling (my cycle shorts fit great underneath) hiking or relaxing.

These shorts are slinky and comfortable. They run slightly large, but the nice drape and tie waist remedy that. I just with they were tumble dry.

I bought these for travelling in the summer months, I’m very happy with the coverage and the material, feels very comfortable and durable. So many shorts are too short for me, but the length of these were perfect!

Best Athletic type Shorts
Originally posted on sweatybetty.com
These shorts are the best dri fit type shorts I have ever had. They are a bit heavier fabric which keeps its shape and wears well. They are very comfortable and wash up well. Wash them inside out and either hang to dry or low temp in dryer. They seem to be true to size These shorts are my favorite!

So comfy and don’t ride up. Was worried these would ride up but weighty enough they don’t but light enough for hottest days

Comfortable relaxed short but I will only wear when longing around at home. I had hoped to wear these for walks on holiday. The thigh goblin loves these so can’t do anything without them riding up. Look great not practical for any activity

Extremely comfortable shorts

These shorts have been a life saver this holiday period. They are comfortable and lightweight and have coped with both the heat and the cooler days. They wash really well and take little time to dry so perfect for holidays away from home. They have the flexibility of being dressed up or down so I have been wearing them out to the shops with the racer back top as well as on my long walks around the Bath Skyline reducing the amount needed in your holiday bags.

I bought these in black for my holidays and they were excellent for walking around. I then wore them on a hike and found they were excellent for that too. So I bought them in navy too. Would love the pink ones but out of stock in 5.5 length and my size.

Most comfortable shorts ever. Added bonus is that because they don’t cling to my thighs my legs look thinner. Will definitely buy again. If you’re between sizes go for the smaller one.
