High-waist running shorts with a wide, smooth waistband that sits above the navel and stays there through squats, sprints and stretching. The inseam is short so your legs stay free, and the seamed back panel gives a rounded, lifted shape rather than a flat cut.

Sizing: this one runs small
These follow Asian sizing and come up about one size smaller than US sizing. The mill does not publish a measurement chart for this style, so if you are between sizes, or you want a looser fit rather than a compressive one, size up. Allow 2-3 cm (about 1 inch) of variance on any measurement.
Best for
Running, gym sessions, HIIT, cycling and yoga. The wide band is the reason to buy these: it does not roll down or dig in mid-set the way a thin elastic waist does. We have not run an independent opacity test on this fabric, so if squat-proof coverage matters to you, black is the safest of the three colours.
Care
Machine wash cold with like colours and hang dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softener and high heat, all of which break down spandex and cost you the stretch recovery.
