Great marathon shorts

Fast service with good communication from happystride. Shorts are perfect! They fit well and don't move at all - even with a phone in the back pocket and gels in the 2 side pockets. I'm not worried about carrying what I need for my marathon now! Thank you.

When life gives you lemons....

... buy some Happystride Lemon shorts and smile. Great shorts, own a few pairs now and love them all. Stand out from the crowd a bit. I wear mine for trail/ mountain and ultra runs.
[Note: Personally, I always cut out the liner as I prefer "independent" underwear that moves separately to shorts, but that goes with the territory of most short suppliers nowadays]

I decided to purchase happy stride…

I decided to purchase happy stride shorts a couple of years ago and they became my favourite ones. Lots of different patterns are available but most importantly, they are so comfortable and don't roll up. I'm a long distance runner and tried other brands from cheap to expensive as I like to compare things but couldn't find better ones.
They do last long, even after intensive use and lots of washing they're still looking good. The colour has wash out a bit but that's not an issue. Also, pockets are very handy for a phone and a smaller one for keys or energy gels. I would highly recommend it.

The Go-To shorts for runners

I have 9 pairs of these shorts now, which I believe should tell you everything you need to know about them. The inner shorts are supportive and stop chafing, the 2 inner pockets hold phones or gels easily and the outer pocket holds gels, keys or phones too. The designs are fantastic from plain to outlandish, and I can’t recommend them enough for marathon training.

Love these shorts

Love these shorts, so comfortable. The back pocket is a great size for your phone. Carried sweets/snacks in side pockets when I ran the London Landmarks Half Marathon 😊

Excellent shorts

I ordered the basic b##ch orange shorts for an upcoming ultra, super comfortable, I love the phone pocket on the inner shorts. The feel and look very well made. They do a crazy range of colours but I really like the plain ones so much I've ordered a green pair.
