    5” shorts team here! I’ve used both and it’s true that 7” can be a little bit more restrictive especially when comes to leg focused exercises, I used to ride them up manually in order to not feel that. Nowadays I haven’t used 7” in a month and a half and sincerely going back just will make it more noticeable such restrictiveness 😅. I’ve seen no one talk about this topic before in a more sport focused and not fashion way. Thanks, Jake! 🫶🏻 and I also agree about the 9” (inseam) guys… haha to each their own.

      Ayy, real respect real! Maybe that's just my lack of fashion and performance-focused mind coming, through, LOL.

    I appreciate the thorough review at these two brands/styles. I used to shy away thinking the price was too high for these shorts, but now going to try the TT as the Wolaco currently have limited stock in my size. Using your link for sure. Cheers!

    5 inch is always the best, non negotiable choice. Better comfort, more freedom, fire looks. The only issue is when things peek out of the shorts especially when sitting.

    The pocket thing with 5 inch shorts is so frustrating.
    I like 5 and lower for running. I've been going back to 7 inch for lifting and crossfit since my "booty meat" has gotten bigger. The 5 inch ones started showing more than I like.
    Now the few brands that have 6 inch shorts are the true winners

    while legs look great on women, it's not so much on me. i get the impression the shorter the shorts go, the more tasteless it becomes until it becomes offensive. i feel as men, we don't show our quads because it's can be offensive in in our society. if u want to be attractive, it's best to wear a suit.
