Questions, Answered.
Will my phone really stay put?
Yes. The pocket sits at the midline of your thigh where movement is lowest, and holds the phone flat and snug. No swinging, no bounce, even at a full sprint.
Does the liner chafe?
No. It is a boxer-style compression liner with flatlock seams. It holds you in place without squeezing, so no chafing and no riding up, even on long runs.
How do I pick my size?
They run true to size, so go with your everyday size. Between two sizes? Size up. And if the fit is not perfect, exchanges are free.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship from our US warehouse with real tracking. Standard delivery is typically 5 to 8 business days, and you get a tracking link by email.
What about returns and exchanges?
Size exchanges are free and simple. Reach out, we send the right size, and we give you a real return address. No hassle.
Can I machine wash them?
Yes. Machine wash cold and hang dry. They keep their shape and their stretch wash after wash.
Why we built this
We are runners. We were tired of the belt, the bounce, and the chafe. So we built the short we actually wanted to run in, and we made sure you are covered if it is not right for you.
Run light. Carry everything.
