I was on the fence about getting new shorts for running for some time now. It’s always hard to try something new when something you’ve used for the past 3 years has worked well. Don’t fix what isn’t broken, right? Well, I said f*** that, ZF is worth it! So I bought 2 pairs of the 5” shorts specifically for running and training. And my goodness, these shorts are legit my favorite running shorts I own! Not only are they comfortable around the waist (typically an issue with most running shorts), they have fantastic strings to tighten the shorts just right (literally my other running shorts have strings made for toddlers), and they magically don’t seem to hold the sweat in the shorts. I have no idea how they did it but I’ll finish a run and I don’t have a swamp pooling on my shorts at the end. They almost feel completely dry. It’s crazy! Anyways, you’d be crazy to pass up on buying these and going with anything else. Just put a couple of pairs in your cart already and buy them!!
