Product Information
Full details
The PUMA Velocity 5" Tight Running Shorts in Black are designed for adult female runners seeking enhanced performance and comfort. Their key benefit is the combination of ergonomic design and dryCELL technology to keep you dry and unrestricted during your runs. A potential caveat for some may be the tight fit, which is ideal for aerodynamics but might not suit everyone's preference. These shorts feature moisture-wicking capabilities, freedom of movement through ergonomic cutlines, a convenient side pocket for your phone, and an adjustable waistband for a secure, personalized fit. Notably, they are made with at least 50% recycled materials, aligning with sustainability efforts.

How much of the shorts are made from recycled materials?
The product description states that the shorts are made with at least 50% recycled materials.
Can I wear these shorts in cold weather?
These shorts are lightweight and designed for moisture management, making them ideal for moderate to warm weather. For cold weather, consider layering with thermal tights or shorts.
What is the rise of these shorts?
These shorts have a medium rise, designed to sit comfortably at the natural waistline.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the fit is still too restrictive, consider if a different fit type (e.g., relaxed fit shorts) would be more suitable for your needs.
Moisture-wicking is not effective
Ensure the garment is not excessively stained or coated with fabric softener, which can impede moisture-wicking properties. Wash according to care instructions with a mild detergent.
Pocket feels insecure for phone
Ensure your phone is placed fully within the pocket and that the shorts are sized correctly. For very vigorous activities, consider a running belt for extra security.
