That list is completely reasonable! That's what you need to have a good run, and that's great. For me, the most important part of that list is the "2 side pockets" b/c lots of times in women's shorts there's only 1 side pocket, which knocks off the balance of the shorts from the get-go, much less when you put something in it. Women's gear sometimes seems intentionally designed to throw us off our best games, which is why I buy mens gear whenever possible!
I’m pretty sure I also have shorts I still use from 2007. Machine washing has rusted through like three sets of safety pins used to secure the side vents, but the shorts are still good!
awwww, thanks for doing this :)
I'm a 2-in-1 shorts type of guy who wants 2 side-pockets for gels, phone and what not. turns out, the right shorts are really hard to find...

Janji's 5" shorts are my jam. But so are the Nike 5" shorts I bought in 2007.
