Great and lightweight

They feel practically weightless and good the only thing I’d change is that they get scrunched up up a little easy and I love the zippered hand pockets for my phone or anything to zip it up and not have to worry about it. They really do double as both chill shorts or workout shorts especially for super hot weather to stay cool but just shorts weather works too. I’d also like more than one back pocket too.

Lightweight, quick-drying, and letting things breathe? It sounds like the License to Train Linerless Short 5" is bringing serious ventilation to the workout.

Great choice for hard workouts!

Fabric is tougher then the pace brakers, don't have to worry about damaging the shorts doing heavier barbell weights

Favorite running shorts

These are my favorite running shorts now. Plenty of zipper pockets to safeguard items like phones or keys while running. The fabric and fit are excellent to support intense workouts, and I love having options to move the drawstring inside or outside. I’ll definitely pick up more of these in the future.

Great pair of shorts

5" is great for mobility, love the bright orange color, feels just a tad tight in the waistband. Surprisingly easy color to pair with!
