“First time user of Roark and this kind of build for workout shorts and I have nothing but good things to say! It's lightweight, good fit, washes easily, and the design is really nice.”
“One key feature makes these shorts a no-go: The horribly designed pocket in the compression layer. The pocket sits WAY too low on the left leg (it’s almost to the knee). It is way too roomy for a phone. When you do put a phone in there (I have an iPhone 12) it sways like a pendulum. This adds a ton of weight to your leg. The pocket should be way tighter and sit closer to the hip. The pocket is also not sweat-proof. The entire compression layer actually leaves a lot to be desired — it really doesn’t compress anything. I wonder if they researched these shorts with any actual runners before releasing them bc I could tell in about 5 strides that these shorts were poorly designed. I’m super bummed because I love the look, but the function just is not there. For $90 I expect a lot more.”
