M's 5" AFO Middle Short Ultra

Best Running Shorts

After purchasing three pairs of these shorts, I think it is time to review. I live in Houston, Texas and run about 30-40 miles per week, mostly outdoors. These shorts are amazing. They have lots of pockets, and great materials and a great liner. They handle heavy sweat super well. I cannot stress enough how great the pockets are. Big running is anti-pocket. And I am willing to pay extra because these are simply the best.

Great trail and after trail shorts

I prefer the AFO line of shorts over the multi shorts which have the double waist lining for storage. The front key pocket in the AFO’s is a perfect non shake location for a phone, just like the non ultra AFO’s. The zippered pockets are great for stashing a wind or rain jacket and after-run around town utility. The gel pockets are great non shake location for phone as well or other heavier items. I tend toward the ultra AFO’s for trail runs, and the non-ultras for road runs.

Incredible Shorts!

I have run in a lot of shorts (Brooks, The North Face, Saucony, Mizuno, Adidas, Nike, New Balance, etc.). Ran a ten miler in first run with them, and they felt incredible. Running the Chicago marathon in October and this will be the race day short!
