Women's Trail Running Compression Shorts

Comfortable, feels like premium fabric. However, the pocket on the back is much smaller than the Ouray. I can't fit my waterbottle in, so I'd need to put it in the side pocket. I really prefer to have a 500ml in the rear pocket, so I returned to get another pair of Ouray.

Highly functional and stylish shorts

There’s so much storage space all around the waistline, as well as side hip pockets. They are fairly high-waisted which helps keep them up while running. There’s a whistle built into the zipper in the small storage pocket, but I’m not sure how you can use it without taking your shorts off? Other than that, these are perfect! Great color options too.

Too tight around leg openings.

I absolute love the Compression Shorts Elite 5”. They are my favorite shorts and have recommended them to so many people. They have been out of stock for months so I decided to give these a try. Right off the bat, these trail shorts have a lot more going on at the waist, which makes the whole waistband more bulky. But the ability to carry my poles would have made that bulk worth it. However, these shorts have extra material at the very end of the thigh opening and this pinched my thighs in an unflattering way. For reference, I am 5’6” and 140 pounds. I typically wear a large because I carry weight in my midsection, and the legs tend to be a bit loose as a result. But these shorts were tight and must be returned.
