Pearl Izumi Infiniti Compression Shorts (For Women)

Love the leg grippers - they hold the shorts in place, but don't irritate your thighs. These shorts would be great for someone who doesn't exercise because they get thigh chaffing - these shorts will make your walks/runs chaff-free. The only drawback is the lumbar pocket - while it holds an ipod or phone, it feels weird. There are lots of seams and a zipper - it's just too much going on in your low back area, but the pros far outweigh the cons on these shorts. While the size feels relatively true to size, these shorts are not for thick or heavier builds. They are stretchy, but are designed for slighter builds, so if you need extra room in the hips/waist/thighs you might consider a different brand/design. The large is more like a medium in other brands.

I wear this pair of shorts for anything and everything - at the gym or outside, spinning or riding on the road, for a cross fit class or kettlebell class, for running on the treadmill or running outside. I bought a second pair, I liked them so well.

love the back pocket, the low rise, the overall fit. so good for running i own more than one pair.

These compression shorts fit without binding, and I have massive quads. They also dry quickly. Moves like an extra layer of skin.

I love these shorts for hot weather long runs. I do not have clammy shorts clinging to my legs, and the legs stay down, not riding up into the "noncomfort" zone. The back pocket is perfect for the car key. I must add, however, that I do not see these as compression shorts. I have compression shorts and these do not have the same "compression." I ordered smalls and I wear a street size of 2-4.
