I read the reviews from other sites saying this was the top running shorts on the market, week I would have to agree very happy with my purchase.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BETTER THAN NAKED™ LONG HAUL SHORTS:
These shorts are great, I own three pairs. They are a bit heavier than other shots but I can't think of a reason not to wear these shorts on all my runs. The added benefit is that they are great even in the winter. Tempts range from the low 30s to mid 40s here in Seattle and I find I never need any additional layers in the winter.
They are the most comfortable shorts I own and the boxer brief liner is the best out there. No chaffing, no rubbing, no discomfort no matter what distance I run. The name is quite fitting for these shorts.
My only complaint is the changes made from previous models. I have an older pair which had silicone around the bottom of the boxer brief to keep the brief from riding up. This is a HUGE problem with other shorts/manufacturers but TNF fixed that. The new version is still really good but the lack of silicone at the bottom causes the shorts to ride up a little. Not enough to persuade me to go elsewhere (i.e. still better than others) but I would like to see the silicone added back. I will likely look to add the silicone to all my shorts if I can find it at a sewing store.
Still, the best shorts out there. I have a similar pair from another manufacturer which are really good, but really heavy. I question how they will be in the summer. TNF shorts, however, will be great.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BETTER THAN NAKED™ LONG HAUL SHORTS:
I've owned these for the last couple years, and continue to outfit my running clothes with more pairs. I've run in NB, Saucony, Salomon, all have their merit but no shorts are better in my opinion. Also the back pocket fits my iPhone 6 with a case, which is a huge help.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BETTER THAN NAKED™ LONG HAUL SHORTS:
Did you hear that? That was the sound of my sigh of relief. Finally, a pair of running shorts with ample pockets, all well placed, comfortable liners that haven't frayed and don't chafe. Better than naked? Almost. You should see my body...

these shorts are super comfortable for long distance runs. The compression liner performs perfectly and they do a solid job of wicking sweat.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BETTER THAN NAKED™ LONG HAUL SHORTS:
These shorts are great. Compression liner is tight with the extra "hidden" pockets. I haven't stored stuff in there yet but I plan on it! Great lightweight materials. I'm probably going to get another pair once I clear out a few of my older gym shorts.

Comments about TheNorthFace MEN'S BETTER THAN NAKED™ LONG HAUL SHORTS:
Best run short i own till day. The compression is the best feature along with many pockets to hold enough to support long training runs without any food stations or your hidden stash along the way. Would i recommend it a race day short ? Yeah !!! these shorts are super light and considering the support u get from compression liner. I wish TNF makes the same short with 5" inseam. I was hesitant to buy at first thinking it was bit pricey for a short, but worth it !! I had couple of long runs and it holds good.
