I've been searching for the perfect pair for a few years now and want to try out some new styles. I have a pair of the LLL speed shorts that I used to love but I think i accidently threw them in the dryer...resulting in a kind of wonky fit.
Has anyone tried the oiselle roga or the LLL tracker short? The oiselle rogas seem to be out of stock in my size constantly.
My favorite are Athleta's Hana 2:1, but they have been replaced by the Pulse (Shortie) 2:1 shorts. I like the Pulse Shorties, but not quite as much as the Hana 2:1's.
I still haven't found anything I like as much as the LLL speed shorts. I tried on the rogas, and they were super long and fit awkward. I would like to try on the mac rogas since they're shorter, but I haven't been able to find them in my size in store.
If you like the speed shorts, the regular rogas might be a bit long for you. I like the rogas, but I wear the LLL groovy shorts. (Discontinued, but they were basically 1.5" longer than the speed shorts.) I have 3 pairs of tracker shorts, and love those as well.

I feel like I should add that my favorite shorts for long runs are the aforementioned Hana 2-in-1s from Athleta. I like the Rogas for short runs (under 7 miles or so). But if you like the speed shorts, you probably prefer shorter shorts than I do, and you probably do not suffer from chafing issues on long runs.
I don't normally have issues with chafing (though I use body glide when it's humid or for long runs).The past couple runs with my speed shorts post dryer incident have been awful with chafing because they started riding up weird.
I have yet to run longer than 10 miles, so can't speak to chafing, but comfort and fit alone I really like the Athleta 2-in-1s. I have the shorties and am going to also try the longer ones at some point. Another of my favorites is the Moving Comfort Momentum short. I like the size of it's zipper pocket and the soft material waistband with drawstring.
I have not tried the LLL shorts or the Rogas, both of them are on my list. And now also the UA ones that were pointed out in this thread, because I love all things UA that I do own. I need to stop reading these threads for the sake of my budget, lol!

OT: A word about the dryer. I throw all of my stuff in the dryer. I discovered that my cycling shorts this year don't care for the high setting. Be careful with high heat and workout clothes. They now go in for 20 minutes on "air fluff" or low if I'm drying other things.
Lucy's Endurance Shorts, but only in black, the colored ones are cut different. They are better than any nike or Athleta ones, I think because they are a little longer. They have the yoga top (before it became as popular). I just wish they were $10 cheaper, but they're worth it.
Under armour Get Going shorts are my new favorites! The waistband Pocket is just right for my iPhone.
These are my most recent purchase and I love them. I still love my Oiselle Roga's and Game Day, but they fit me better a few months ago. I 'm going to need to do something about that little situation.
I need a longer short, so my current faves are the long Rogas and the Nike SW Rival 6"
How do the nikes run? I prefer a longer short too, and ive never tried these.
They run a little big. I have mediums in these and they are roomy. I wear a large in the rogas and wear a 6-8 pant size at places like gap if that helps. The waist band is the yoga pant type but has a drawstring.

Thanks! That helps a lot! We wear the same size. Lol

oooh I might go check that out. I do find them on sale on Nike.com occasionally. I just bought two pairs of Rogas recently, so I need to hold off on shorts. Maybe

I LOVE my Brooks Versatile shorts! They aren't available on the Brooks site anymore but they are on Sierra Trading Post -- stp.me/ijhft -- and only $13 with that link! The pockets are rather useless but I love the fit and the wide waistband!
[btw, that's not an affiliate link or anything, I work at STP and the link has the best coupon code currently available attached to it, just fyi!]
