Bought a pair of the new 2 in 1 Running shorts back in August, and thought I'd leave it a while before writing a review. Overall, I'm super happy with them. They are by far the most comfortable two-in-one style shorts I've tried so far. Initially I bought them to wear on longer trail runs in the hills, but now it's starting to get colder, I'm wearing them on my road runs too.
They fit well, with the inner lining being comfortable and not chaffing at all. The draw string is a handy touch for cinching them down in the waist if needed, The phone pockets in the legs are generously sized, and hold my phone (iPhone 13) snuggly enough so that it doesn't bounce around at all whilst running (a problem I've had before with similar shorts). The little mesh pocket in the back is handy too. You could fit a fair few gels in there, but must of the time I use them to stash my gloves if I start getting too warm for them as the sun comes up on a morning run, and it holds them securely.
If I had to nit pick, I'd prefer it if the zip on the side key pocket fastened by it zipping down, not up (i.e. the zip is at the bottom when closed), just because that would feel a bit more secure, and less likely to come undone through movement or getting snagged. That being said, it hasn't budged at all yet, and there's tether to attach your keys to, so they wouldn't fall out.
Overall they are super comfy and feel like they're really good quality, with nice decals. Would definitely buy again.

La planificación es clara y sencilla de seguir, sólo hay que amoldarse a los tiempos que pide y cumplir con los descansos

I love the hat. Enjoying the quality and originality. I guess i am only one in my City who has such a cool hat. Ben, thanks for videos, Motivation

Fantastic looking running to that is also really comfy to wear.
Great quality too and a good fit

Jumper is fantastic quality and a great design. So comfortable. Extremely happy with the purchase.

Another great piece of kit from my favourite running brand. Fantastic value. Maybe size up from you T shirt size as it a little tight across the chest.

fantastic item, perfect sizing

Excellent all round, now i can run as fast and as far as Ben.

Very nice quality and unique pattern arrived fast too and excellent customer serivce. Thanks Ben Sarah and Sheri

Really well made and constructed shirt. You can tell this is a premium product and compared to my other branded shirts this is a step above. I am on the larger side, so went with the 3XL version and the fit is perfect. I can see this coming into its own during the colder run sessions. Now all we need are 3XL variants of the short sleeve shirts!

So, bought 3 pairs in 3 colors. Socks are very comfortable, qaukity material, very breathable, got my socks and run directly 25k. No complains, no issues. Ben, with these socks, you nailed it!
