Once you give yourself a pep talk, pull on your Gore Wear R7 2in1 Shorts and tick off those miles one by one. Gore constructed these running shorts with a moisture-wicking synthetic material and a supportive liner to keep you cool and comfortable all morning long. Plus, the zippered back pocket stashes an emergency energy gel if you're still dragging around mile five.

I saw these on sale and thought I’d try them out since I have gotten more into running. (Strava says I run about 100 miles a month) I found the fit to be just a little tight, I’m a stockier build with bigger hips, if you’re a slimmer individual they’ll probably suite you well. The material is very nice and lightweight. You won’t even notice the outer short is there while running. My main reason for returning them though is the product description is wrong. It says it has 2 font pockets and 1 back pocket, when in reality it just has a very small back waist line pocket. I really like to listen to podcasts while I run and also just like having my phone for emergencies, so shorts that can’t hold a phone are kind of a deal breaker for me. FYI, the Patagonia nine trails is so far my favorite running short I’ve found. Highly recommend those.

Perhaps the most illustrative thing I can say about these shorts is the first time I wore these shorts was for my first marathon....and I loved them! The inner short is comfortable and just the right length while the outer short is so light and unrestrictive as to be barely noticeable. Not once during the marathon, or on any run since, have I had any issues with discomfort or chafing. Since I started running in the R7 short in October I have only worn them in cooler temps, but I don't see heat being an issue at all. These have quickly become my go-to running shorts and I look forward to putting in many more miles with them.
