I love these shorts. I like the FlipBelt but didn't like how it rode up on my stomach as I ran - I had to keep pulling it down. But these shorts have the Flip Belt built in & the shorts stay right where you want them. I totally forgot I had my phone with me in the back zipper pocket until someone called me while I was running. It fits perfectly on the small of my back, the waist band stays put.Only thing I would change is add a short just a little bit longer. But this is exactly what I was looking for.love flipbelt pants so thought I'd try the shorts. they're ok...fit is the same as the pants but they are really short and loose around the legs.I never owned the flipbelt, just bought the shorts. I like the front pocket and the features. Only thing I was was better was the back, zip pocket--it is just a bit too short to accommodate your average phone (I have a google pixel 3, daughter has samsung galaxy 8, but they don't fit with their cases. I have a similar pair of shorts with a back zipper pocket and it fits my phone with a 7-inch zipper--the flipbelt's zipper pocket is a mere 5 inches. I prefer for my phone to be on my hip or lumbar when I run, so it's taken some getting used to it being in the front pocket, but it does easily fits there and doesn't move around at all--phone is unnoticable while I'm running. Only thing I would suggest to make shorts better is make that back zipper a bit longer and they'll be perfect! I am 5-5, 125 lbs and the medium shorts fit me well. Daughter is 4-10, 85 lbs and needed a small, which is a tiny bit too big for her waist, but accommodated her curvy hips. The xs fit her waist perfectly, but it was too snug across her hips.Love the integrated flip belt pockets in the waist band. Easily carry phone, water, keys, etc. on the run. Need more colors! I’m between M-L, size 10, Large fits bestI ordered an XS at first, I typically wear size 0 jeans. While the fit around the waist was perfect, they are a tad short. I then ordered a Small and I like the length a lot better. The fit around the waist between an XS and Small is minor. They both fit comfortable and hold my phone, gels, and whatever else I need to put in the belt portion great. My items don't bounce and the shorts don't really ride up as I run. I've worn a running belt over shorts and it constantly rides up my mid-section (I can't stand it). These shorts are great and I will definitely buy more!Agree with other reviews; these are short! I don’t mind that, I like a shorter short to run but I underestimated the reviews call-out and was a little shocked! Otherwise they are great, I already have the traditional flip belt but wanted something I could wear in between washes!These shorts are great. Comfortable and very easy to carry my iPhone and keys in. I plan to order another pair soon. On fit -- I originally ordered a small (I am 5'-3" and 125 lbs), small was too tight and too short for me (but was borderline) , medium is good.The waistband of these running shorts is basically a FlipBelt, but this is even more comfortable because it is built into a great pair of shorts. I can fit my iPhone, keys, a credit card and nutrition for the run in the waistband, and I still have room to spare. There is no bounce, and the thick waistband is very flattering. The material of the shorts is durable and has stood up to plenty of runs and washes with no issue. Would love to see these shorts in even more colors, because I will be buying a few more pairs!
