“Unique design, incredibly light fabric, fantastic look, and great storage options without feeling weighed down. Internal key pocket is useless and tends to bunch up in the back. The fit is tighter than any other half tights I've used, although I'm a bit more muscular in the thighs/glutes than the runner models on the Soar website. No chafing when the shorts start off clean, although I did experience some while wearing them with some sweat build up. I hesitated with the price but these shorts have been worth the investment.”
“Perfect. Finally I found a quality Running Brand where design, comfort and functionality and customer service is perfection. And Ive tried a lot of brands the last 30 years. Its designed from runners to runners.”
“What I like about these shorts is that they’re very lightweight and, as advertised, the large pocket can easily carry plenty of gels — a great feature for racing.
What I dislike is that the fabric feels extremely fragile, and after only ~10 runs it already seems close to tearing. This is especially disappointing given the premium price point, which is roughly double the average cost of racing shorts.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this product unless price is not a concern for you.”
Hi Itai, thank you for your review. Our Marathon Shorts are built from lightweight fabrics that prioritise breathability and performance. These materials are naturally more delicate, and we recommend avoiding contact with rough surfaces. That said, they are built for running and should hold up to regular training use. If your pair is showing signs of early wear, please get in touch so we can take a closer look.
“Amazing piece of kit thats comfortable, light weight and functional! The rear pocket is generous to fit additional nutrition and provided very minimal bounce and therefore no distractions. The bands make it easy to carry gels although i feel it could benefit more if the bands were spaced together or in a vertical array. I found that without the proper securing my gels would slide out. Lucky i figured it out before race day!
Either way these shorts helped me shave 20mins off my previous best marathon time!”
