After running for a while with a simpler model shorts with a zip pocket at the back, I wanted to upgrade but still have my phone in that spot. The 2 in 1 shorts are that upgrade: tights for a no chafe fit, loose outer to cover the I'm-not-that-confident-in-tights issue, and lot's of pockets that hold anything you wish to carry without having it rub together (key scratches phone, gel packets register ghost touch on touchscreen). I have my phone in the back zip pocket (not the leg pocket) because my flip phone is a bit too bulky when closed for wearing it on my leg. It just fits through the zip, but is perfectly snug and doesn't move about. Easily found a purpose for the other pockets to hold my stuff. Very pleased with them so far!

The fit is very tight (race fit) — it sits perfectly on the chest and doesn’t move at all while running. The fabric is extremely lightweight and handles sweat well, especially at higher intensities.

Around the stomach area it’s more revealing, so if you’re not used to a close fit, that’s something to consider. That said, once you’re running at pace, it feels natural and non-restrictive.

Compared to similar options like the SAYSKY Air Flow singlet, this is noticeably more fitted and performance-oriented.

Overall is ideal for racing or hard sessions, less suited for easy runs if you prefer a looser feel.

Amazing socks at an amazing price. Great fit and really happy ro be supporting as small buisness

I used Ben's Level 1 - Beginner Marathon Plan to train for my first marathon at the age of 52. It was ideally pitched at the right level with plenty variety and room for flexibility for someone new to running like me. Delighted with my finish result - highly recommended. First marathon - done! I enjoyed the training structure so much I'm now onto the Level 2 - Improver plan as I work towards my second marathon goal! Thanks Ben and Team!
