Customer Reviews Brooks Source 9" Shorts Tight

I have a 33? waist and the medium was not compressive enough for me. Actually they felt great but had no compression, or at least very little. That fact also made anything I put in the pocket jiggle around a little more than I like. Jiggling annoys me when running. A small may have worked out better.

I miss the previous version with zippered back storage. Why did you take it away. Those zipper back pockets are a must for my running shorts, short tights and long tights.

The stitching and label are coming off with just one wash. Not enough space in crotch area.

Such a goofy fit! Too tight around the thighs. Not a fan!

Bought the XS. Been running exclusively in tight-shorts for a few years now. Liked that this one had a pocket for my phone. They?re too large. I?m 5?8? and 145lb. I?m small, but I?m not that tiny. The fabric scrunches up and doesn?t stay down on my legs. It doesn?t keep everything ?tight? enough to be useful. The ?concealment panel? in the front doesn?t conceal much. Looks more like I?m wearing underwear than a tight-short. Underwhelmed.

Size small is bigger than other brands size small and fit in not tight enough around groin area. Uncomfortable

Way too revealing. No modesty with these tights!

I?ve had 4 pairs of these and they?ve all ripped in the crotch seem after a few months. Will not be ordering these ever again. (Brooks replaced them a few times which is why I?ve had 4 of them). I have fairly large quads from my sports history and cycling for triathlon. 5?11? 190lbs

Got them in grey, and I won?t be using them for their intended purpose. The fabric is pretty thin therefore you can see everything under the shirts with clear outline/definition. I?ve been wearing half tights for years, so I?m no stranger to tight/revealing running gear, but these seem more like liners than an exterior layer. I?ll use them under other shorts for gym workouts or nighttime runs. Truthfully, I wouldn?t want to run into someone I know while wearing these. They?re comfortable though.

Short rides up but worst part is inseam that runs right down the middle. Not possible for a man to wear these for more than 3-4 miles
