Bought a few $10 pairs of gym shorts from a big box store, probably an 8" inseam. I wear boxer brief style compression undies when I run, so netting and how they feel on my skin isn’t really an issue. They have side pockets that are fine for carrying my key fob, which is the only thing I really need for most runs. On runs they seem completely adequate. What am I missing by not wearing more expensive or nicer shorts purpose made for running? Is it one of those things where if I try something nicer I won’t be able to go back?
I wear 2-in-1 shorts and haven’t found any cheap ones I like / fit well. Granted I haven’t tried a bunch if them.
I like Nike 2-in-1 (built in spandex) and I like 2xu for the compression version of 2-in-1s
