Love them

I love the split opening for longer strides and squats etc. Great, cool fabric. I did cut out the liner, but that’s just my personal preference.

PERFECT for RUNNING

These are light, durable, and practical for running. They feel free when on the run and the quality lasts. They will practical options for phones, keys, and shirts that come off during runs.
