Reviews

My new FAV!!!

"My new FAV!!! I am wearing these more than my bike pants. Love wearing them to the gym and to pilates/reformer classes. I can then pop up the street to the cafe on my way home without feeling like I'm in my 'active wear' ;) Love the fit, style, length, higher supportive waist & the gorgeous Cobalt colour!"

The Do Everything Short

"I really love these shorts! The go to the gym, shopping, sailing, cycling, walking, out with friends… the zip pockets hold my keys and phone, the thick waste band holds my belly, the stretchy short lining holds my thighs, and I feel amazing in them. The cut is great and honestly I’d buy a second pair. It was an impulse purchase the day I got them but I’m so glad I did!"

I need more!

"With the loose flowy short being so popular right now (and rightfully so, they’re so cute) but my fear of feeling exposed, I’m so glad I finally found ones with built in shorts underneath. These may be my new favourites, especially when doing a weights session for that extra coverage (hip thrusts in a busy gym friendly) I got a medium, could have sized down to a small because they’re a little loose around the waist (but I’m not sad about that) but they definitely feel secure because of the built in shorts. Can’t wait to get more colours"

Running shorts

"I love these more than I thought I would! I wasn’t sure if they would ride up and be uncomfortable as I usually stick to tights but they are so comfy! The cut is great, they sit perfectly as a higher fit (after 4 babies this is amazing) and they stay there! Lots of compliments on these shorts, def glad I bought them!!"

Amazing Shorts

"These shorts are awesome. I’m a big solid lady 😂 I brought these and was nervous they’d be too tight, thigh rub or I would just look a bit chunky, you know? Nope they are great 👍🏼 Catch me walking the Broadwater tanning my legs and enjoying the breeze, without them rising up or getting chafe. They’re lined too, so feel really supportive and not jiggly. Naturally, I’ve decided to branch out and buy another pair. I’ve always been a little embarrassed to wear shorts, but with this Qld summer heat I needed to get over that. I also added a photo I never add photos but here we are! Sorry this review went on a bit, it was like therapy."

— Lauren (5/5)

Great running short

"Love the colour of these shorts - vibrant like the photo. Outer fabric is soft and light and lining firm and feels high quality. Just wish they were a fraction longer but that’s personal preference of a tall girl."

— Kelly J. (5/5)

New Favourite shorts!

"One of my new favourite shorts! I love the inner with the pockets and the floaty outer layer with zip pockets. It feels secure and gives me good coverage during my training while giving the look of a loose short. Most 3 inch shorts feel too revealing on me but this is perfect! Overall, a great short for all sorts of situations, and lots of storage space to keep things secure."

— Sharyuen S. (5/5)

Fantastic for the gym

"I was pleasantly surprised that the lining didn’t ride up my legs, even when doing Pilates, running, and strength work. The shorts felt comfortable and, to me, felt like they took moisture away from my body which made workouts more enjoyable. Would definitely buy another pair in a different colour."

— Christy H. (5/5)

Challenger 3” shorts

"I absolutely love these shorts! They are so flattering and incredibly comfortable. I wear them for running and CrossFit, and they’ve handled everything — burpees, lifting, muscle-ups, ring muscle-ups — without moving around or feeling uncomfortable. They’re such a versatile short and the quality is amazing. They look great, perform even better, and the compliments I get when I wear them are just an added bonus! 🙌🔥 Definitely a new favourite!"

— Cristie M. (5/5)

Love these shorts!

"I recently bought two pairs of these shorts and they are nearly perfect. I love all the pockets and the bike shorts are compressive and do not move. No chafing! My only complaint is that the wide elastic waist band should be sewn down in a couple spots because it rolls easily on itself when bending over or pulling them up or down. Otherwise, they’re great. Please keep making more colors and restock the red!!!"
