Customer Reviews Brooks Chaser 5" Shorts

Great fit. Perfect length. Quick dry. Pockets. Very comfortable. I bought two more pair. Im 60, 53, 116lbs. Size small fits loose but I like them.

Was super excited about these for their longer length. Ordered medium at first which were way too snug. Returned and ordered large which I was disappointed to find the waist was made much larger and too big and the pant legs were not. Dont cinch down well and look weird cinched at the waist and the legs are tight and unflattering.

A little big but very comfortable! Super flowy and a good thick waist band so no cutting into my stomach. I could have sized down but I still like wearing the larger size.

Good pair of running shorts. If you are blessed with a bum the shorts will cover it but just enough. I purchased my usual medium and feel I am on the verge of the liner line showing through the outer fabric. I believe a large would have been baggy but roomier in the bum.

Recently I am at my heaviest weight and was looking for comfortable shorts to walk and workout in. I love these shorts, theyre so comfortable on, and the waist band stays in place. I am 43 and am dealing with the belly pooch and heavy thighs .They dont ride up my thighs (which every short does) I just walked 3 miles in them and was so impressed how they stayed in place. I am about 210 pds 5ft3, I got the XL. I am currently ordering 2 more pairs thats how much I love them.

The XS was a little too small across the butt and the S are a little too big, but okay with the drawstring. I like that they don't ride up much during a long run. The back pocket is not big enough for most cell phones, but the smaller front pocket holds my car key which is nice. Good summer shorts.

I like the length and the weight, but the inner seams irritate a little with my thicker thighs.

Love the fit. The only thing I would change is take the vents off the back. Totally unnecessary and they stand out

I love love love these shorts! They are comfortable, breathable and my thighs dont eat them. I will be buying more.

I love these shorts! I took off one star only because I wish they made a 4 inch version, but otherwise these are perfect. I love the pocket for the phone in the back, as well as the smaller pockets in the front for keys, headphones. Perfection!

Decided to try these since they were on sale but I usually don?t love the brief style liner. These fit very well though! Didn?t ride up as expected but also not too tight. Very comfortable and good coverage. I do usually wear shorts that are a tiny bit shorter but really like these and once summer weather rolls around they should get some good use.

These used to be my favorite shorts, but it seems that the fit and fabric was updated from last year. These fit a little bit smaller in the waist, but MUCH narrower through the hip and thigh. The new fit is uncomfortable and unfortunately a size up would be too big in the waist. This is super disappointing as finding a comfortable short with a longer inseam is difficult. Ill be returning the pairs I ordered and searching for my new go-to shorts.

Good length (Im 58), lightweight and nice adjustable waist with storage pockets. They do get a little sweaty so wish they were a little more breathable, but overall a nice running short.

I love these shorts. Comfortable waistband, flattering fit. Im 53, 127 lbs and bought size small. Fits great!

These shorts are greatsoft, comfortable fabric with pretty design and a perfect fitall at a very good sale price. Additionally, free shipping and a very responsive customer service when the original shipment seemed to be lost and another pair of shorts was quickly dispatched to me make shopping on the Brooks website a positive experience. Thank you!

I bought these for my phone/ key storage during my long runs. I've gained a lot of weight, and when I got them online I assumed I'd need a medium. I was surprised to see that I probably could have managed a small in these, so I'd say they run small. I like the fit, how fast they dry, and the navy color goes with everything.

Overall I love these shorts and have four pairs of them. My only complaint is that the liner tends to ride up when I run.

Not the great wide waist band of the old chaser shorts, but still a great stay in place for with light weight but durable fabric.

Lightweight, solid material, I love the waistband. Overall, it's a good running short. I will update as I wear them more if any of my thoughts change after more use.

Absolutely love these shorts! They are light weight which is perfect for hot humid runs! The legs do not ride up or cause chafing. Simply perfect! The price is high, but well worth it. I can do an ultra without worrying about my shorts! For reference I am 54 and 112 pounds wearing a small.

Love the short. Im picky when it comes to workout shorts. The thick band is great. I used to be a runner but now I wear them to do spin, lift Weights and walk. Great short for any workout.

They were my favorite running shorts but now the side pockets have been removed. Please bring them back!

Very disappointed! I have two pairs of brooks chasers 5 and ordered a third pair in a different color but same exact size. That pair is significantly smaller and tighter. It wore like a size smaller than it was. It could be a fluke in that pair but I dont want to risk it again when they are so pricey and its a pain to keep ordering (cant find them locally to try on). I hope they havent changed how they make these!

These are a little longer on my quads than I typically like. They are comfortable. No chaffing. I stowed my iPhone 14 in the back pocket for an entire marathon and it didnt bounce or bother me. They run on the large size. I am 128 pounds and the small fit me better than the medium (medium way too baggy). Overall an awesome purchase. I sweat like a beast and these didnt not hold onto it.
