Just what I was looking for. Great fit and colors. Fast shipping.

 I like them a lot

I like them a lot--the cut is so skimpy and the material so thin, it's like I have nothing on. Doesn't hurt they're USA made. Thanks for offering these!

 Perfect running short shorts

I just tried out my shorts and they are great. I am impressed with the excellent mobility with the 3/4 split design. I have the greatest freedom of movement with these type of short shorts.

 Excellent service

The shorts feel great! I also enjoy the colors. I see so much of black and blue on the trails, I would like to see more people out there in neon green and orange

 Best running shorts ever    
Larry    2/23/2005

Just received the last pair of running shorts! I purchased three pairs of your product #1000B, and must say they are the best running shorts I have ever owned. I started running in my teens and now, at age 55, resort to +30 miles a week, all on trails. There will be no hesitation on my part to recommend your company to other runners. Thanks! Larry S

 Short shorts will shorten your time!

I love my BOA Elite running shorts. After years of running in longer shorts my training partner suggested a pair of BOA shorts. What a difference! Shorter is better and the fabric BOA uses is indestructible unlike my old brands of shorts Jeff

What styles are in fashion?

Popular culture has a profound influence on the design and retail industry, even in running apparel. During the ’70s and ’80s running shorts were very short and form fitting. As hip-hop culture began to gain influence, it dictated looser, more voluminous street clothes. Even suburbanites began to embrace this fashion, athletic apparel was not far behind. First basketball shorts began to expand in length and width. Running clothes took a longer time, but have definitely followed suit. It has held that the younger runners and the recreational runners tend to buy the more fashion-forward apparel. Elite runners on the other hand have continued to run in shorter shorts. Today's fabrics are more technical, brighter in color, and bolder in patterns. While fashion and trends push the market, the full split short, much loved by older runners but lately difficult to find, is making a comeback. Fashion can only dictate form to a point, and then function reigns. The trend during past few years has been toward longer and baggier shorts. Runners are realizing that running in long shorts is not easy or comfortable, so the trend is beginning to swing back toward more traditional, ‘shorter’ shorts. In monitoring discussion Boards of high School and College runners there has been a lot of talk regarding 'short' shorts. Bottom line is that both gals and guys are thinking that they are 'hot' as long as the body fits the shorts.
