Loved it for running and does not need any short. It can wear it on his own

These bottoms can be tricky for some depending on your legs length and width. I have sprinters thighs & a slim shank/crus so a Large would’ve been too long for my legs to accommodate my thighs so I’m forced to purchase medium for a more amicable fit. If you have slim legs from thigh to crus these leggings will be fine. If you are a between sizes like I am I would suggest trying these on first. Also don’t forget all these things expand after a few 30 degree washes so keep that in mind when choosing your size. Good luck P.s. this legging has a pocket on each side of the thighs however the material is different to the majority of the legging. It’s some sort of fabric mesh and if you aren’t delicate or careful I can see customer EASILY make accidental holes and rips in those areas particularly. JJ
