As a heavy sweater who
As a heavy sweater who runs 40 to 60 miles a week, I was skeptical that natural fiber running shorts could perform as I need them to, but wanted to give them a try since I have a lot of other Icebreaker gear that I love. I am impressed! The fact that I can wear them multiple times before washing is a game changer. I have not yet tried these in a longer, harder effort, but feel that they would still justify the high price even if they remain my "easy day" shorts. They fit true to size and the length is ideal for a regular run (I would go shorter for a race or a hard workout). I wish the pocket had some form of closure like a zipper, but have kept a credit card or a key in there without incident. I don't think there's really another company making a product like this and I'm glad it exists! Love to avoid bringing a little more plastic into the world.
