From sunny beaches to high alpine trails, our experts evaluated for fit, comfort, mobility, moisture-wicking, and more to compile a list of the best men’s running shorts available today.
Thanks to advancements in fabric technology and design, today’s running shorts are better than ever. Overall, materials are lighter, more comfortable, and offer better mobility.
All running shorts should allow you to move freely — that’s a given. The best running shorts, however, should not only provide freedom of movement, but also keep moisture at a minimum to ward off chafing, and keep items like your phone, keys, and fuel secure without bouncing around.
After months of testing, even years in some cases, we’ve managed to narrow down the best of the best for whatever type of running you’re into. The shorts on this list are the ones we kept reaching for time and time again.
If you’re interested in broadening your knowledge about running shorts, check out our comprehensive buyer’s guide and FAQ sections at the end of this article. And be sure to look at our comparison chart when it’s decision time.
This is the second iteration of REI-branded running shorts that we’ve tested, and we have to give a hats-off to the design team — these are top-notch running shorts. Offered in both a 5-inch and 7-inch inseam, the REI Co-Op Swiftland running shorts ($60) checked all the boxes that we look for in a quality pair of running shorts — comfortable, supportive, and moisture-wicking with plenty of carrying capacity.
The 73% nylon and 27% spandex shell is remarkably light and airy with excellent mobility. Not once was the stretchy fabric confining. The shorts pretty much felt unnoticeable, and the brief-style liner was comfortable, offering a good amount of support without feeling restrictive.
A wide but comfortable waistband securely anchors the shorts around your waist. The rear zip pocket on the waistband is capable of holding a smartphone, and two drop-in side pockets can hold snacks or keys — all bounce-free.
If we had to nitpick, one concern is their long-term durability. Take this with a grain of salt, as we haven’t put them through a long-term durability test yet. We only mention this because the shell fabric is really thin — much thinner than most of the shorts tested — and they softened up a bit with each wash cycle.
We’d also like to see the rear zippered pocket have a slightly larger opening. It took a little force to stuff a large Samsung smartphone in the pocket, and we could certainly imagine busting a seam trying to fit it in if you’re not careful.
It’s clear REI put a lot of thought into these shorts. No matter what type of running you do, whether it’s road, trail, or track, everything about these is designed for comfort and functionality — you’ll put them on and forget about them. They’ll work for beginners and elite runners alike, and we’re confident you’ll appreciate having them in your drawer.
If you’re looking for well-priced running shorts for basic running and gym sessions, the Baleaf 5″ Running Athletic Shorts ($22) will provide the most bang for your buck. There’s nothing particularly special about them — they just work.
The shell is extremely lightweight with a moderate amount of stretch, and the liner provides a moderate amount of support and adequate comfort for short outings. The rear-zip pocket was one of the largest tested, easily fitting a super-large smartphone, but it did bounce a bit more than other shorts.
We could go down a long list of features we’d like to see, but for under 20 bucks, we wouldn’t expect them anyway. The biggest knock is fit. They size extremely large and baggy, nearly two sizes too big.
If you’re typically a large, go at least to a medium — maybe even a small. If you struggle to find running shorts with enough volume, these should work really well for you.
If you’re doing any amount of volume, we’d steer toward other shorts listed here. But if you’re not picky on the finer details and just need a pair of treadmill shorts, or shorts for quick, hassle-free runs, these shorts are for you.
Imagine taking the most comfortable pair of sweatpants (or shorts, for that matter) and infusing them with a highly technical moisture-wicking fabric. That only begins to paint the picture of how comfortable the Tracksmith Session Shorts ($68) are.
The lightweight four-way stretch nylon and elastane blend shell is freaking amazing. Beyond running, these are the type of shorts ideal for lounging around the house in. As a bonus, they’re Polygiene anti-odor, antimicrobial treated.
While these are one of the most comfortable running shorts we’ve tested, we wouldn’t wear them on race day or on a big mountain run. Instead, we’d want something that’s more lightweight and with better pockets. Speaking of pockets, while the rear pocket will fit a phone, it takes a little work to shove it through the small zippered opening, which we wish was a little larger.
Still, these shorts have a place in every runner’s rotation based on comfort alone. If you ever find yourself with a social event after a run or workout, these are the perfect shorts for the occasion. With eight colors to choose from, you’re bound to find a pair to match your shirt.
For comfort and functionality from the track to the pub, these are some of the best running shorts available.
Let’s be clear — most of us hate carrying stuff when we run. It feels restricting, off-balance, and slower. Many of us will go out of our way to avoid wearing a hydration vest or waist belt. If you have similar feelings, you’ll love the Black Diamond Sprint Shorts ($90). These shorts are our go-to for light and fast mountain runs.
When we don’t feel like being bogged down wearing a vest or belt, but still need to carry the typical items like water, fuel, an emergency shell, and phone, these are our go-to shorts. The thick but well-vented waistband with a drawstring provides a secure foundation for five pockets: three drop-in pockets and two rear zipper pockets.
These shorts can easily carry a phone, 500mL soft flask, emergency wind shell, and enough fuel for over 3 hours with a dedicated pocket for trash. We were highly impressed with how supportive and comfortable the polyester liner felt, even when the waist pockets were stuffed.
While the stretch nylon plain-weave face shell is durable as hell, it’s terrible at wicking and retaining moisture. On really hot days the DWR-treated shell became absolutely drenched with sweat, retaining the moisture and feeling a bit like heavy swim trunks.
You may want to opt for shorts with better breathability on steamy runs. But on chilly, windy days, the DWR-treated shell acted much like a wind shell, blocking the wind better than any other shorts we’ve tested. With exceptional storage and wind protection, the BD Sprint Shorts are ideal for high alpine mountain running.
The Patagonia Strider Pro Shorts ($85) were a huge hit when they first came out. They were comfortable, mobile, and had enormous carrying capacity. Then, a few years back, Patagonia updated the Strider Pro, and fans went wild ripping the updated shorts for being too tight, lacking mobility, and having poor durability.
We’re pleased to report that Patagonia has once again updated its flagship running shorts, and we can confidently say that this is their best version yet. Patagonia replaced the tough, non-stretchy DWR coated 100% recycled polyester with 90% recycled polyester blended with 10% four-way stretch spandex. That little bit of spandex and dropping the DWR made all the difference. The new shell is soft and offers excellent mobility. These shorts are night and day compared to the previous version.
The waist belt remains largely unchanged, with four drop-in pockets and one rear zipper. It’s not too thin or thick and maintains comfort when the drawcord is tight. In the previous version, we couldn’t fit our phone in the rear zip, but we were pleased to find out an iPhone 14 Pro just fit with a little work getting it in and out.
In terms of sizing, we found it fit larger, as our one lead tester wore a medium in the previous version, but the small seemed to fit better and offer better support in the HeiQ Pure odor control brief.
For complete mobility and freedom, there is no better type of running shorts than half tights. Most tights either really tight and restrictive or somewhat loose-fitting that ride up. The Dri-FIT ADV AeroSwift ($90) falls perfectly in the middle — almost like you’re not wearing anything.
Nike describes them as “buttery smooth,” and we have to agree. The 89% polyester and 11% spandex shell is soft and supple, and they have a built-in brief liner for added support. Four drop-in pockets around the waist are perfect for fuel, car keys, or a credit card, while a zippered rear pocket fits most modern smartphones.
If you’re looking for compression tights, these are not it. The material is way too light and thin to provide any type of compression, and the ribbed face is quite unique. We weren’t initially huge fans, but the supple feel grew on us after further testing.
Running tights are somewhat of an acquired taste, but in the right application, they are far better than running shorts. The best use is when it’s cold and rainy. Wet shorts can get heavy in a downpour and start to feel cumbersome. Tights, on the other hand, stay put when wet and won’t feel as heavy. They also keep your quads and hamstrings warmer on chilly days.
If you’re an avid runner who doesn’t let the weather hold you back, give these a try.
A good split short should drape over your legs with the splits down the side, allowing the shorts to open freely without restriction or riding up as you lift your thighs while running. A quality pair of split shorts is pure freedom. SOAR, a UK-based boutique running brand, executes this perfectly with their premier performance Race Shorts 5.0 ($125). Every element was designed for performance down to the perforated waist belt, aggressive-looking notched side split, and even the logo placement.
The 4-way stretch French fabric shell is remarkably thin and very stretchy. At only 70g for a men’s medium, they are by far the lightest shorts we tested. The shorts felt unnoticeable and airy as our track tester ripped 400s around their local track. To keep the weight to a minimum, SOAR had to skimp on pockets, and there are only two internal drop-in pockets along the waist.
Let’s address the elephant in the room — the price. $125 is a lot of money for running shorts, especially a pair of split shorts. For what it’s worth, after wearing split shorts for over 25 years, we haven’t found another pair that even comes close to the fit, functionality, and styling of the SOAR Race Shorts 5.0. These are by far the most durable split shorts we’ve tested. Our lead tester had the previous version for over 5 years now, and they look just as good as they were on day one.
If you can get past the price, you’ll be rewarded with one of the best pairs of split shorts you can own. If you thrive off an all-eyes-on-me attitude on race day and want to look and feel like an elite runner, these are for you.
If you’re not familiar with SAXX underwear, boy, are you missing out. Their claim to fame is something called the Ballpark Pouch, a built-in soft, supportive pouch for your boys. This unique design keeps your parts securely and comfortably tucked away and free from rubbing.
The Hightail 2-in-1 ($68) basically takes their award-winning underwear and wraps a moisture-wicking polyester stretch running shell on top. The Ballpark Pouch design works especially well when running. It’s more supportive than any other brief or liner, and it layers in extra prevention around your male parts.
Overall, we would have liked to see better pockets in these shorts. There’s one rear drop-in pocket that’s large enough to hold a few gels and a key, but not a phone. One really smart feature is the built-in key string to prevent your key from accidentally falling out when accessing items. We wish more companies would do this.
If you struggle with any kind of chafing, whether it be between the legs or around your male anatomy, or if you’re simply looking for a more supportive hold, the Hightail is by far one of the best-fitting running shorts we’ve tested.
We have to give HOKA credit. Despite being relatively new to running apparel, the brand makes a damn good running short. These Glide shorts ($60-64) are light, airy, and have a very nice flow to them when running. The 89% recycled polyester and 11% elastane shell has a good amount of stretch, allowing for excellent mobility.
The waistband is well-made and comfortable. The internal brief liner is one of the more supportive ones tested. While our lead tester typically wears a small, he opted for a medium and is glad he did, as it provided a more relaxed fit.
Our one gripe is the pocket design. It comes with a small side zippered pocket and one rear elastic pocket. The rear pocket has a unique design where it’s doubled layered (folded over itself) — perhaps to prevent items from falling out — which it certainly does well.
The issue with this design is twofold. First, it’s impossible to fit a phone, and second, it makes it harder to grab items out. That said, these shorts performed exceptionally well otherwise.
While On running shoes seem to get all the attention these days with their unique-looking soles, their apparel often gets overlooked and is just as, if not more, impressive. One of their better pieces of apparel we’ve tested is the On Lightweight Running Shorts ($80).
These lightweight shorts use a stretchy but durable PFC-free DWR recycled polyamide and elastane fabric on the front and airy recycled polyester mesh for the back. This dual-fabric design is both functional and fashionable. The DWR front blocks wind and wards off moisture, while the breathable mesh on the back of the legs allows for excellent ventilation.
Offered in a five-inch inseam only, we found the shorts offered outstanding mobility with no restriction. If you’re looking for a snug-fitting integrated brief, the liner offers the best support of any shorts we tested. Our fussy tester, who normally wears a separate brief for added support, found he could comfortably skip the added brief.
The shorts have a thick 2-inch waistband that sits comfortably against the skin with a large drop-in back pocket that easily stows an iPhone 14 Pro. However, we did have a couple of gripes regarding the waist belt. For starters, the rear drop-in pocket is the only pocket, so if you want to carry multiple items, that’s your only option. We also found the waist belt elastic was rather weak, so we needed to tighten the drawstring for additional support while carrying our phones.
Vuori makes some of the best workout apparel and these shorts are no exception. New this season, Vuori Course Run Shorts ($78) are made with a recycled polyester, polyester, and elastane blend. The 4-way stretch fabric is buttery smooth against the skin and does a great job of wicking moisture.
Of all the shorts we tested, these and the Tracksmith Session shorts offered the best blend of run performance with post-run styling and comfort. Underneath the lightweight woven shell is a lightly perforated boxer brief with a drop-in pocket on the left leg.
Vuori advertises the side leg pocket as a phone pocket, but we couldn’t fit an iPhone 14 Pro. Instead, we found the rear drop-in pocket along the waistline offered a secure and bounce-free spot for our phone, while the leg pocket was best for credit cards, cash, or fuel.
The shorts have somewhat of a baggy, relaxed fit that favors those with a thicker waistline and big thighs and quads. Our slimmer tester, who prefers short three-inch running shorts, felt like he was swimming in the excess fabric throughout his run.
The Janji AFO Middle Shorts ($64) are as close as you’ll get to a next-to-nothing feeling from a pair of five-inch running shorts. Made with an ultra-thin recycled polyester and elastane blend shell, these were the shorts we kept reaching for during the hottest of days. Even when they were sweat-drenched, the shorts didn’t feel bogged down and, in direct sunlight, they dried quicker than most shorts we tested.
Offered in both a three and five-inch inseam, our tester found them to run on the shorter side of five-inch running shorts. Still, thanks to a mild amount of stretch, they never felt constricting. The brief liner offers a decent amount of support and hold for such a lightweight pair of shorts.
The shorts come with two pockets, a rear-zip pocket that barely fits an iPhone 14 Pro, and an internal drop-in pocket along the waist for cards, cash, or keys. One of the more brilliant features is the bungee cord that allows you to store your keys securely, so it’s impossible to lose them while running.
If you’re looking for a comfortable, lightweight pair of running shorts for hot, humid weather, you’re not going to find too many as good as these.
If you’re looking for a good pair of running shorts that won’t break the bank, the New Balance Accelerate 5-Inch Short gives you everything you need and nothing you don’t — all for $35. Made with a polywoven fabric that’s 55% recycled polyester, the shell features NB DRY fast-drying technology, and we were impressed with its wicking and fast drying times.
The downside is that there isn’t any spandex or elastane blend, which means the fabric has no stretch. However, the shorts have a fuller fit to compensate for the lack of stretch. While they’re certainly not as comfortable as more expensive shorts, they have good mobility.
Two side hand pockets don’t secure items enough for running but are great for carrying stuff to the gym where it can be stowed elsewhere. For carrying small items like a credit card or some cash while running the shorts have two drop-in hip pockets.
Based out of the UK, Rab has quickly become one of our favorite mountain apparel brands. The fabric is the best part of the shorts, which won us over. Rab’s Matrix fabric is phenomenal for any high-powered activity, such as running, hiking, or climbing.
The Talus Trail Shorts ($100) feature Matrix Aero, the lightest, fastest-drying version of Matrix. On the trails, the high-stretch fabric felt virtually unnoticeable.
The waist belt is one of the most comfortable we tested. It’s thick with mild compression and tons of space to carry fuel and an emergency layer. There’s an extra large front mesh drop-in pocket for easy access with the ability to carry long items that don’t fit in most running shorts.
While we prefer a brief style liner, the boxer brief was comfortable and features silicone grip dots to prevent it from riding up. The Trail Talus Light is a shorter inseam version with a brief liner.
That said, there are a couple of areas where we think these shorts could be improved. For starters, while we found the waist belt extremely comfortable, it doesn’t have a drawcord. This caused a lot of bouncing around when carrying multiple items in the waist belt pockets, especially heavier items like a phone.
In general, we don’t recommend buying these if you want to carry your phone in your shorts. Like most European companies, the fit is much slimmer than U.S. apparel. Our slim 5’8″ tester with a 29-inch waist fell between a small and medium, but ultimately sized up.
These budget-friendly split shorts have become a staple for high schoolers and serious runners looking for good-quality, affordable training — and racing — split shorts. Free from the bells and whistles, such as zippered pockets, perforated waist belts, and high-tech fabric found on more expensive shorts, the BOA 1″ split short ($32) has everything you need and nothing you don’t in a pair of split shorts at a great price point.
While the 100% polyester shell isn’t stretchy, they offer superb freedom of movement thanks to a generous side split. Offered in six sizes, from extra small to extra extra large, we found they fit on the larger side compared to other split shorts we tested. Our tester regularly wears a men’s small and would want an extra small.
For under $40, the durability these shorts boast is somewhat astounding. While they aren’t necessarily designed for long-distance hiking, one of our editors gravitates to these for his thru-hiking exploits due to their ultralight, barely-there feel, and funky colorways. Three pairs of these shorts lasted over 5,000 miles of torture on a recent trek back and forth across the country, with only the liner showing true signs of deterioration. Pretty impressive for any short at this price point.
The elastic waistband with drawstring wasn’t the most comfortable and breathable, but it displayed enough holding power to avoid sliding down. We found the 100% polyester crepe brief mesh liner was comfortable and offered decent hold. The shorts only feature one drop-in internal pocket that’s relatively small and suitable for a key, card/cash, and maybe two GU gels.
The best part is the massive selection of colors and printed styles the BOA split shorts offer, such as red flannel, American flag, and Hawaiian print. Bottom line — if you run every day and split shorts are your go-to, having a few of these in your rotation is worth saving money and spending it on high-quality racing split shorts like the SOAR Elite Racers above.
For those seeking a not-too-short, not-too-long fast-looking pair of running shorts but don’t like the show-it-all style of true split shorts, the Salomon Cross 3” ($45) shorts offer the perfect medium length between the split short and a 5” pair. They are made with a breathable and fast drying 100% polyester shell that’s lightweight and extremely comfortable. Despite not having any stretch, they offer excellent mobility and range of motion thanks to a two-inch side split.
We found the flat elastic waistbelt with internal drawstring comfortable — but wished it had a little more stretch. Still, even with the draw cord fully cinched tight around our waist, there weren’t any hot spots or irritation. As a bonus, the waistbelt has a loop in the rear to hang dry when not in use.
Regarding storage on these shorts, one rear zip pocket is large enough to fit our iPhone 14 Pro and maybe a few gels. If you’re going out for a long run that requires fuel, you’ll need to bring a hydration vest or waist belt to carry it. We highly recommend the Surf the Web blue colorway we tested, as we got a number of compliments as we trotted around town.

To find the best running shorts, we start with hours of online research. We attend trade shows such as The Running Event and Outdoor Retailer for newly released shorts, such as the SAXX Hightail, and keep our eye out for up-and-coming brands like Ten Thousand.
For this test, our research resulted in over 20 pairs of running shorts tested. We then conducted a thorough field test to evaluate each short on fit, comfort, mobility, moisture-wicking, and carrying capacity. Testing locations included up and down the coast of California as well as trails in Mammoth Lakes, Moab, and Seattle.
It can be hard to sort through what’s really important when finding a pair of running shorts. To help, here are the key things you need to know about running shorts.
Running shorts follow the same rules as every other technical sports apparel — moisture-wicking fabric is a must. The two most predominant are polyester and nylon blends.
I prefer shorts that have a blend of stretch fabrics such as spandex or elastane in them. This gives the shorts greater flexibility and mobility, ultimately limiting restriction.
Higher percentages of these flexible fabrics do have a downside — they tend to absorb and retain more moisture. Moisture-ridden fabric and poor fit are the top causes of chafing.
If chafing is an issue for you, pay attention to the fabric and look for a pair of shorts that has a slightly different makeup. Half tights and 2-in-1s are great options for between-the-leg chafing protection.
The inseam indicates how far down the leg the short sits. It measures the length from the crotch to the end of the shorts and usually comes in 3-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch options.
Most of the shorts tested, with the exception of the 3-inch version, come in both a 5-inch and 7-inch option. The ideal inseam length is as much a matter of personal preference as whether you enjoy running road, track, or trail. However, the 5-inch option seems to be the most popular.
Short shorts, such as a 3-inch inseam, are often known as split shorts and tend to be the coolest and least restrictive. Longer shorts such as the 5-inch or 7-inch version are our go-to when traveling because of their all-purpose versatility, easily doubling as gym shorts, hiking shorts, or even swimming shorts.
Most running shorts have two layers: an outer shell and an inner liner. The inner liner’s primary focus is built-in support and is either a mesh brief or spandex-type compression tight, called a 2-in-1.
If you’re someone who struggles with between-the-legs chafing, we recommend looking at a 2-in-1 short such as the SAXX Hightail or a half tight like the Nike. Having a built-in quarter-length compression liner will protect your legs from rubbing together.
The outer shell is always made with some sort of moisture-wicking material such as polyester, nylon, or wool. Some are treated with DWR to help repel water. DWR-treated shorts great for wind protection, but they can absorb and hold moisture longer than non-DWR-treated shorts.
Most shorts these days will blend in a stretchy fabric such as spandex or elastane to give the shorts extra mobility. If you struggle with finding shorts that fit properly or experience shorts riding up, we recommend you look for shorts with spandex and/or elastane.
If you want to carry items such as your phone, keys, or fuel during your run, you’ll want a pair of shorts with pockets. Look for shorts with pockets that are close to the waistline. The tension used to hold the shorts up serves as a great anchor point to prevent them from bouncing around as you run.
Shorts with a thicker waistline and/or 2-in-1s are better at holding items tightly against your waist. Pockets with zippers are ideal for storing keys, credit cards, and your phone.
How many pockets you need depends on what you want to carry. However, there is a tipping point where you’ll want to start using a vest or waist belt to hold your items.
It’s a good idea to invest in at least one pair of shorts with a large carry capacity like the Black Diamond Sprint. These are great for runs when you’re traveling and may need to carry more items than usual.
Running shorts are made with various waistband styles for comfort and fit. Drawcords are built into the waist, inside or outside, allowing for a tighter fit. Things to look for in a waistband are thickness, material, and elastically. However, in the end, it all comes down to personal preference and what works for you.
Waistband thicknesses generally range from just under one inch to two and a half inches. We prefer shorts with a thin piece of highly elastic material that rests flat against the skin, like the SOAR Race Shorts. Ideally, if a pair of shorts fit well, you should not need to tighten the drawstring, as they often come loose when running — and stopping to tighten it can be a real pain.
If you’re hot around the waist or find the fabric rubbing, we suggest finding a waistband with perforations like the Janji AFO Middle Shorts. Perforations are small holes along the waistband that enhances breathability by allowing heat to escape.
If you need to carry items such as your phone or gels for fueling, we recommend shorts with a thick waistband like the REI Swiftland or Black Diamond Sprint shorts. A thicker waistband can hold more items securely without bouncing around because it provides a better anchor around your waist.
The best running shorts are made with a performance moisture-wicking fabric, such as polyester or nylon, have a built-in liner for support, and offer a secure place to store items like your phone, keys, or fuel. Some running shorts are blended with a stretchy fabric such as spandex or elastane to allow for unrestricted mobility when running.
Running shorts come in all different lengths from 2 to 7 inches, but 5 inches seems to be the most popular length.
It depends on the type of shorts. Half-tights, or compression shorts, are designed to fit skin-tight.
The close-to-the-skin fit makes them ideal for runners who struggle with chafing, keeping your quads, hamstrings, and glutes warm during cold and/or rainy runs. All other shorts should fall somewhere between tight and loose, but to what degree they fit is somewhat of a personal preference.
Chafing is a really painful problem for a lot of runners that can be solved with the proper pair of running shorts. The uncomfortable skin irritation is caused by two surfaces excessively rubbing together and is more likely to happen when a fabric has been soaked with moisture.
If you’re struggling with chafing, we recommend trying a pair of shorts with a built-in compression liner such as a 2-in-1 like the SAXX Hightail. The longer liner can provide extra protection against friction.
If that doesn’t work, we suggest trying a pair of shorts with a different fabric makeup. The part wool liner of the Smartwool Merino Sport Lined 5″ Short can be a good option.
The large majority of running shorts are designed to be worn without underwear. They have a built-in mesh liner or compression tight that provides the support needed while running. If you find the built-in liner does not provide enough, you can wear a pair of brief underwear for added support.
