The best thing about these shorts is what they're NOT.Most athletic shorts today are too long on the thigh. The shorts from the 70s and 80s were perfect for athletic competition but became retro fast; and it a very bad way it seems.The Naviskin 5" running shorts offer the comfort and freedom of movement of the old style shorts without being embarrassingly out of style.I compete in Masters Track & Field (field events) and these shorts are perfect. Also, I wear them on bike rides because the pockets are spacious enough for keys and wallet.They feel sturdy (only had 'em a couple months) and offer plenty of support with the inner liner. The look good, even on an old man.As long as ebay sells these Naviskin shorts, they're all I'm going to wear for training and competing.
