Okay -- Not having a problem with training in good old fashioned running shorts, I bit on the BR clearance deals. I don’t want to totally knock the stuff – and I understand that you get what you pay for – but here are a few warnings:
1. If you can live without the modern technology of wicking fabric, the BR split-side shorts are fairly nice. Just be aware that the waist sizes run smaller than what the size chart indicates.
2. Although not completely awful, I am not too happy with the supplex shorts. I fear that the waistband will not last long, and buyers should understand that the waist sizes run much (much!) smaller than what the size chart indicates.
3. Don’t bother with the free hat offer unless you’re ready to see a voodoo witch doctor about shrinking your head. I don’t know anything about tailoring, but the hat has some goofy stitching thing going on that prevents me from even pulling the thing halfway over my ears. And I have a rather smallish Size 7 head.
Take it for what it’s worth. Just trying to help.
