Women's 5 in Workout Shorts with Liner - High Waist Quick Dry

In this review of the Women's 5 in Workout Shorts with Liner the bottom line is simple: these are a dependable, no-frills option for runners and gym-goers who want lightweight, breathable shorts with useful pockets. The reviewer found the shorts comfortable straight away, with a waistband that sits high without digging in and a lining that prevents chafing during longer runs. If you need everyday training shorts that stay dry and hold essentials, this is a practical pick.

Key Features

• Breathable fabric: Lightweight, sweat-wicking material helps keep skin cool and dries quickly after intense workouts.
• High waistband: A wider elastic waistband with an internal drawcord provides an adjustable, secure fit that reduces bouncing during movement.
• Built-in mesh briefs: Moisture-wicking inner briefs offer support and minimize rubbing for longer comfort on runs.
• Multiple pockets: Two side zipper pockets, a back zip pocket and a waistband drop-in pocket free your hands and keep phone, keys and cards secure.
• 5 in inseam length: A mid-short length that prevents chafing and works for running, gym sessions and casual wear.

Who It's For

These shorts are best for women who run, take fitness classes, or do circuit training and want a light, low-bulk short with a reliable inner brief and secure pockets for a phone and small items. The adjustable waistband makes them suitable for a range of midsection shapes, especially for anyone who dislikes a restrictive band.

Women who need very compressive, performance-grade shorts or specialist triathlon gear should look elsewhere, as these are designed for everyday training comfort rather than high-compression shaping or technical race suits.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, breathable material that dries quickly and works well for long runs.
• Secure storage with two side zipper pockets plus a back zip and waistband pocket for phone and keys.

Cons

• Sizing can run snug for women who are heavier in weight relative to height, so choosing a larger size may be necessary.
• The shorts prioritize lightweight comfort over firm compression, which may not suit those seeking sculpting support.
