Bandit Coolgrid 2-in-1 Run Shorts <tc>Women</tc>

These shorts feel smooth, cool, and light against your skin. The loose outer shorts are airy, while the inner shorts ensure a snug fit and prevent chafing on your thighs. The waistband is soft and comfortable, even when your pockets are full.

It comes into its own best on runs where you want to carry things without a belt or vest. Think of a long summer run along the Amstel, a trail run in the Veluwe, or a half marathon with gels along the way. After an hour of running, you notice the difference: your phone stays still in the pocket on your thigh and the inner shorts stay in place, even on climbs and long descents. In the dark, the reflection on the leg and back provides just that little bit of extra visibility.

If in doubt, consider your preference and the season. If you like tight shorts without a loose outer layer, the Cadence Compression Short is a better choice. In temperatures below a few degrees, these shorts are too airy and you need tights. If you are looking for shorts that look simple but pack everything, this is a good choice.

In short: loose shorts with the support and pockets of compression shorts.
