I don't like lined shorts. I had many doubts when my wife bought them for me. I'm not a runner, but I do burbies and box jumps when I train. I was very impressed with the amount of support they offer. The material is light and doesn't stretch at all. At 6'0" and weighing 205 pounds, they are form fitting. They are longer than I normally wear, but the lightness of the material makes them serviceable. I appreciate the zippered pockets for cell phone and headphones. I would recommend these shorts to anyone who trained with many big moves.
