New Balance Men's Impact 3 Inch Split Short

Edit: Almost 4 years later and these shorts are good. Not too baggy as previously stated. The sides do flare out a bit but when you're running it doesn't. Still the most comfortable liner I've had. Also still comfortable when fully soaked from rain or sweat.Feels like a lot of fabric, which makes it baggier than expected. Like most running shorts, the stylish side stripe is nice, but adds a bunch of fabric folds that end up flaring out a bit and look weird. Side pocket with storage towards the rear is a good size. Interior netting is one of the best I've ever had, soft and fits well.

I recently bought a few pair of the Asics 1/2 split and wanted to try out a pair from a different manufacturer.I have a few 5 inch new balance shorts and love them. These are my first 3 inch from New Balance. Material is excellent, wicking is excellent.But these are short! 3 inch inseam but maybe the way they are cut they feel shorter than my 2 inch Asics.That said, they still cover what needs to be covered and they are modest enough for me. On those hot days I like my shorts short and these fit the bill. No pockets for gels so if you are going longer distance these are not for you. I have shorts with pockets for gels dedicated to my 6+ mile runs.Highly recommend these or the Asics 1/2 split. Both great for 3-5 mile hot summer runs.

These shorts are great on any hot and humid day, the inner mesh brief will keep your stuff cool, dry and keep everything covered so no one see's your parts, even if your little friend starts to grow. The 2 side pockets in the mesh can stretch enough to fit keys, cigarette pack, wallet, mp3 player and cellphones that have 4.5 screens and smaller.The only con is that here in America other men might think that you are gay if you wear these in public for normal daily active's, but I say wear what will keep you comfortable on a hot summer day, plus at $40.00 these shorts offer pockets that other big name brands like Nike does not.Try them out a few times and sure that you will like them so much that you start to wear everywhere.

As is frequently the case, I needed to remove the liner because the leg openings are too small for me. Without the liner, it is just large enough to hide my manliness while running.I can squeeze my cell phone that has a 5-inch screen into one of the side pocket, but it hangs out of the pocket a bit. The phone hasn't fallen out of the pocket (yet), but several times I thought I was putting the phone in the pocket, but instead put it into the vent, leading to the phone falling to the ground.The fabric is light weight, but feels strong.I probably won't order another pair do to the pocket issue.

No problems with the shorts themselves, I have two pair, but both developed holes in the key pocket that led to me losing my keys mid run. You'd think I would have learned after the first time.

Great shorts. They run a bit larger than some. I'm 6'4" 240 lbs and am normally an XL (36-inch waist). However, the XL has plenty of waistband and needed to be cinched tight.

I usually wear L or XL and chose XL for these shorts which was the right choice for me as I prefer loose fit. Soft tissue and a very comfortable liner that still provides enough support for my 5 to 7 miles runs make them great running shorts for summer. Be aware that these shorts have a generous split and - although they are not extremely short for split shorts - you will show leg especially when you sit or squad!

I wanted these shorts for racing as they are very light weight and breathe well, and also because the inseam is very short so I can get more sun on my thighs.

Pensaba que era un poco más grande de pata para mi gusto, el tejido es perfecto no así el tamaño
