Product Insights

The Elastic Waist Loose Flowy Short 2.5" Length by I.FIV5 offers a secure fit with a wide elastic waistband and built-in panty that stays in place during running, while the panty and waistband design prevent see-through during squatting; the elastic waistband keeps side vents at their designed height for steady airflow and modesty, and the Polygiene treatment ensures permanent odor resistance; however, the inner slit pocket only holds small essentials and may not securely hold a phone during running.

Verified claims

Fit
Runs larger than typical, especially through the waist; the wide elastic waistband helps keep the shorts in place. Sizing down from your usual size may give a closer fit.
Opacity
Built-in panty adds opacity and should prevent see-through, including during squatting or bending and in lighter colors.
Airflow
Elastic waistband keeps side vents at their designed height for steady airflow and modesty during running.
Pocket security
Inner slit pocket holds small essentials only; a phone may slip out during running.
Built-in panty
The built-in microfibre jersey panty is integrated into the shorts and is designed to stay in place through seam construction and stretch; rolling during running has not been specifically reviewed for this style.
Polygiene treatment
Polygiene anti-odor treatment is permanent and never washes out.
Mid-distance running
A verified reviewer describes these shorts as flattering and great for mid-distance runs.
Lining fit
One verified reviewer found the internal lining runs small while the waist is almost baggy.

Why and when to choose each product
Elastic Waist Loose Flowy Short 2.5" Length: Choose this if you want running shorts with a loose, flowy layered look and a short 2.5 inch inseam that sits above mid-thigh. They're made of lightweight quick-dry stretch fabric in a recycled polyester blend, with Polygiene technology described as eliminating odour and preventing bacterial growth, plus a built-in breathable microfibre jersey panty and a wide elastic waistband for comfort. Note that storage is limited to a single inner slit pocket, so plan accordingly if you carry more than a small item.[1,2,3,4]Fluid Comfort-Waist Ripstop Short 2.5" Length: Choose this if you want an ultra-short pair for wide-ranging movement: the loose, relaxed A-line cut has a 2.5 inch (6 cm) inseam ending at the upper thigh, a good leg opening, a side slit, and a wide, soft high-rise jersey waistband. The lightweight, breathable stretch ripstop fabric (78% reprocessed nylon, 22% spandex) has side vents with perforated hem panels, Polygiene odour control, a hidden waist pocket, and small reflective dots, so it suits warm-weather training or running. Note the fit is loose rather than compressive, and captured listings show sizes X-Small to Medium in Black, Brown, or Burgundy.[5,6,7,8]Perforated Lightweight Short 3" Length: Choose this if you want the brand's lightest and shortest running short (3 inches, per the merchant), intended for running and other high-intensity cardio. It pairs a fully perforated lightweight stretch fabric with a breathable built-in microfibre jersey panty, elastic drawstring waist, Polygiene odour control, reflective accents, and recycled-polyester content. Note that it has no pockets, so it suits minimal runners who carry nothing.[9]

So flattering

★★★★★Kate D.

Absolutely love these shorts, they are very flattering and great for my mid distance runs. I do find I’m maybe between sizes? The internal lining is a bit small but the waist is almost baggy, to the point where I’m unsure if I should buy a small? Wish it had a way to taper the elastic because the band is very comfortable, more so than a tie-waist.
