No longer reflective, after 2 washings.
Overall, a standard running short. I've washed and dried them twice and half of the reflective material is no longer reflective. I like the design of the side pockets.

Comfortable training shorts
I have became an avid runner in the past year and I am embarrassed to say these are the first shorts I have used to train in, I live in an area that isn’t very warm at any time of year and I have became accustomed to joggers and sweatpants but I can honestly say these have been a game changer for me and I will never go back. I was intimidated at how small the looked at first but I loved the above the knee fit, they are lightweight and make a huge difference in the way I’m able to move. I love these shorts and I am recommending them to everyone I know into running.

About to be my #1
I have always been a life long runner. Whether it be running competitively or leisurely, I have never hesitated when it comes to the Brooks brand. Upon sliding the shorts up I knew they were the ones. The feel of them is compared to no other. With the shorts being drawstring it allows you the freedom to fit the shorts around the waist as desired, huge plus. When it comes to the design of the shorts, the light and dark grey contrast each other exceptionally and make the short look very sleek while sporting style. I love that. Don’t even get me started on the fabric. I have searched ages to find a short with a very lightweight yet comfortable to the skin fabric and this short from the Brooks brand checks all the boxes. For myself personally what I find most like-able about these shorts is the ultralight weight to them and the sleek look as well. If there was one thing I were to change it would be the mesh lining on the inside of the shorts. At times as sweat secretes from the body the mesh material is not the friendliest with the skin and sweat.

Comfortable and Practical Quick Dry Shorts!
These Journey Shorts are my new go to for training indoors and out. They fit true to size and are really comfortable. The fabric is lightweight, and dries quickly, and the sewn in mesh is more comfortable than other training shorts I have. I run in a foggy wet coastal environment so the quick dry time is a huge plus! I imagine they would also work to keep you dry in hot environments. They've been holding up well to washing a few times a week. These are great shorts, and I'd like them to come in a few other colors!

Perfect!
I recently got the Men’s Journey 5-Inch Shorts, and they have quickly become my go-to for running, gym workouts, and even casual wear. The lightweight, breathable fabric keeps me cool and comfortable, even during intense sessions.
One of my favorite features is the 5-inch length—it provides the perfect balance between coverage and mobility. It’s long enough to feel comfortable and confident but short enough to allow unrestricted movement, whether I’m lifting, running, or stretching. The length also helps keep me cool, especially during outdoor workouts.
I also love the design of these shorts. They have a sleek, modern fit that looks great without being too tight or restrictive. The cut allows for a full range of motion, and the subtle details, like the well-placed pockets and minimalist aesthetic, make them versatile enough to wear beyond the gym.
On top of that, the secure waistband keeps them in place, and the moisture-wicking fabric helps me stay dry. Whether you’re hitting the gym or going for a run, these shorts are a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Average Running Shorts
The Brooks Men’s Journey shorts were very comfortable and the inner layer of the shorts were very good and didn’t ride up your leg when you started sprinting. They felt like your typical running shorts with just the Brooks logo brand on it but sadly after one wash the Brooks logo came peeling off. This did make me a bit hesitant to wear them again and wash them due to the fear that something else might rip. The material however was very comfortable and the color made it very easy to pair with other running gear. Overall I would rate the Brooks Journey shorts a 6/10.

Brooks Mens Journey 5" Short
My husband absolutely loves these shorts. We both ran throughout high school and college. So, even though we’re not currently competitive runners, we’re both still built that way. As a result, my husband has a hard time finding shorts that accommodate his running/biking leg muscles. Usually, shorts are too tight to be comfortable to exercise in or even to wear casually, but these Brooks shorts are great! He has really good range of motion and the length of the shorts makes them easier to wear than traditional men’s short shorts.
The fabric is really buttery and has held up to our washing machine very well. We typically hang dry running clothes like this to keep the fabric in top condition for as long as we can. The colors and pattern are great and work to hide sweat and dirt. I think the only area that he would improve is the liner fitting, but it’s not bad enough to be a complaint! Definitely recommend trying these shorts!!!

Comfort with every mile
The Brooks Mens Journey 5" Short have a great fit, with a comfortable band and flattering flowing cut. The shorts breathe well and the fabric is nice and smooth to prevent chaffing while you are moving. I really like the fabric design, the multi charcoal/black line pattern is nice but not too loud. The functionality is excellent on these shorts with a zip pouch for keys at the middle back and two open elastic pockets for gels on either side. These shorts do their job of staying comfortable while you are running. Brooks makes really good running gear and these are no exception.

Comfortable Running Shorts!
These shorts are great for running. I use them in the cold weather (50 degrees in South) and also, I will use them on the treadmill. They are true to size and fit comfortable around my waist. I am a size 34 waist and 6'3'' tall. The material on these shorts is amazing and I tend to sweat a lot, so it helps big time in the comfort around the short area.
Highly recommend!

Great shorts with tons of storage!
I'm a casual runner who spends most of their winter days training indoors while waiting for Spring. These Brooks Journey shorts are my perfect running and cross-training companion, providing a light and airy feel while keeping me comfortable during my daily workouts.
Like other Brooks shorts, these dry quickly and have held up great over repeated washes. One of my favorite features is that these shorts have tons of storage, featuring both a zipper pocket in the back center, as well as four smaller mesh compartments around the sides and back. While these aren't big enough to store something like a modern smartphone, they are perfect for energy gels and other prepackaged snacks to keep me fueled once I start marathon training outdoors. These pants are definitely in my rotation and I am thinking about picking up another pair! Great design as always from Brooks!
