Women's Elite Compression Shorts

Perfect middle ground between trail shorts and casual shorts

I bought these as a middle ground between the casual shorts and the trail shorts. These have the great waistline storage in the rear and the side hip pockets, but lack the front waistline storage and small zipped pocket. These are shorter in length but still high waisted with a drawstring, and I really like the material and style.

Fit has changed

Fit overall too small. I have purchased many shirts and shorts from flipbelt over the years and generally love their products. Unfportunately, the last few bottoms, leggings, regular shorts, & bike shorts, have all fit too small in the hips. I'm the same size and my past purchased bottoms (leggings & shorts) of the smae size fit just fine. I want to continue to love these products but the fit is just off. Sizing up is too big and I get bounce/drooping when the pockets are full. These compression shorts are perfect...plenty of pockets, thin & breathable material, nice design, etc. BUT due to the sizing issue they are a struggle to get on and I find the compression in the thighs just a tad too much on long runs. Please go back to pold sizing! The old designs had great fit with no bounce and very comfortable.

Run very small. Thick fabric, pinches thighs

I have a lot of previous model FlipBelt shorts and absolutely love them. The Women's Compression Shorts Elite in 5” are my absolute favorite shorts but they’ve been out of stock for months. The large in those fit me well- a little loose, which is what I like. I’m 5’6” and 140 pounds. But these, my goodness. I could barely get the large on! I’m exchanging for an XL and we’ll see. The fabric is much thicker, the leg openings have much less stretch… so I’m not optimistic. Which is too bad. Please bring back the old shorts!!!
