Customer Reviews Brooks Sherpa 7" 2-in-1 Shorts

I like the fabric, the pockets, and the overall comfort. The smooth, soft fabric passed the marathon test because I never had to think about it during my race. The phone pocket has room to spare for my iPhone SE, but it might be a tight fit for some of the bigger phones. The small pockets on the waistband are just the right size for a gel or other similarly-sized items. I haven't used the key loop, so it gets in the way a little. These shorts are on my priority list for marathons and long training runs.

Great shorts with plenty of storage. Love the zipper pocket that keeps a phone from moving around. Waist pockets store keys and gels perfectly. Would not improve a thing, my new go-to shorts for running.

These are my favorite running and cross training shorts. I own several different colors. I love that the liner is not visible below the shorts. I use the right side cellphone pocket primarily when not running, but it is ok for running. It fits a large phone with case. If redesigned, I would prefer a phone opening 1cm wider.

Fits true to size, very comfortable and nice light weight material.

Great fit and excellent liner on the shorts. The pocket are very useful on short or long runs with pockets for gels, keys and a phone.

Training for a marathon and as mileage got high I wanted to switch up liner style (had been using the usual brief style in UA shorts) and was pleasantly surprised by the whole package on these shorts. Liner is supportive but flexible, covering the thighs too, and so there is minimal friction (higher mileage still needs anti-chafe, but far less crucially in my experience). I read a complaint about seams somewhere and if it has any basis at all it must have been a prior design - the liner seams are quite smooth and appear reinforced. The waist is soft and comfortable, though I wonder if running with a large cell phone would drag down a bit but I have not tested (and same as above for anti-chafe). The zipper pocket is medium-sized and I have not used it for a cell phone, but it keeps things like a couple keys well enough you forget they are there (no jingling, no poking). The top storage pockets are ample without being too much, easy to access mid-run, and work well for gels as well as low-weight lights or liner gloves (I use a running backpack for heavier loads so perhaps haven't tested the limits). I acquired 2 more pairs more or less immediately after the first long run worked out. Haven't had them more than a month and change in order to know lifespan, but also no sign of real wear yet.

This is the best short for distance running hands down. I'm on my 5th pair. Useful pockets for phone and gels and any other small items. Inside liner very comfortable. They're perfect!!

The best running shorts for sure! So light and comfortable.

These are great shorts! They fit well, and are such great shorts for running here in Hawaii. I love that I can put my Apple 12Max Pro in the zip pocket and it stays snug.

Extremely comfortable with great pockets. The liner is super soft and fits like a dream

I've been buying this short for years. The stretch boxer and flat waist band with a direct tie draw string give zero chafing. The pockets on the newest iteration are perfect. I can now carry all of my nutrition for long runs on my shorts and then I just need a hand held water bottle. When there's nothing in the pockets they are snug and out of the way. Absolutely my go to short.

Best running shorts I?ve ever had

These are and continue to e the best running shorts I have used. I will be buying a few more pair.

I have worn many 2 in 1 shorts over the years. These are very comfortable. I wear M and I am about 5'9 165. I use these to run and bike and have had no issues. I can't speak for chafing because i always use an anti-chafing product. I have run 12 miles and biked 20 miles and the shorts performed great. I like them so much i have 3 pairs of the shorts now.

Love these shorts, great fit, comfortable for long runs and they have a pocket that fits my phone perfectly so it doesn't flop around!

THE BEST RUNNING SHORTS I'VE EVER OWNED! LOVE THE POCKETS!

This is my new go to short. I have the older version of these as well as the Sherpa 7" with the brief liner but these are the hands down winner. The pockets are plentiful and secure. They don't ride up as you run like so many other shorts do. I will be buying more pairs of these soon!

I like 2 in 1 shorts. I especially like the zipper pocket.

These are hands down the most comfortable running shorts I've owned. I love these so much that I save them for my Saturday runs until I get a few more pairs. I would personally love to see more colors, but that doesn't take away from the shorts.

Love these shorts: super comfortable, breezy, and lightweight. The zipper pocket is perfect for holding my phone. The pocket is stitched into the compression shorts which keeps the phone from bouncing at all, very nice. The other pockets are great for other things like keys. I usually wear a small and these worked for me size-wise, though I think the compression shorts are on the tighter side.

Excellent for running and cross training. Lots of pockets in just the right places and good length.

Shorts are a great fit and the compression liner is ideal. It provides support without constriction. The length is ideal for cross training and running.

My first pair led to the second in about two seconds.
