Price: $29
- Who it's for
- Runners who want vest-free carrying capacity on long or short efforts without paying a premium. Tall women appear in the notes as a specific use case, opting for the men's cut for the longer 5" inseam.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the storage volume (waistband belt, phone pocket, flask capacity, gel pockets), loose fit, brief liner, and affordability relative to bigger brands. No meaningful criticism appears across the 15 notes, making this a one-sided but consistent picture.
- Worth noting
- One host cut the front-pocket attachment stitching to ease flask insertion, reporting no negative consequences. The drawstring tucks into its own pocket to prevent stomach dig — a small detail flagged as a genuine comfort win.
Sara Amato's review
I own three different pairs of these and the quality is phenomenal and there’s SO much storage — for a fraction of the cost of some of the larger companies

Bennett Levine, Backcountry Skier and Trail Runner
Efficient, comfortable and reliable. Phone, gels/snacks, 500ml flask, car keys, headphone case. And above all else AFFORDABLE - I'm obsessed. Even if I am not using the storage, I will still use them under a belt.

Now I've found Terrignota shorts, I would be hard pushed to wear anything else - and this is the same feedback I've received from my athletes who have tried them. The built-in belt holds my iPhone, keys, 500ml flask + 300ml flask, dog collar, and 2 x 90g gels easily. Note, though, I have cut the attachment stitching on the front pocket so the flask can drop in more easily (so far, this hasn't had any negative consequences). The material is light and airy, and the black looks very smart with the white logo. I was a little concerned with the inseam length, but I have had no issues with chaffing. Especially for the cost, this is the best pair of running shorts I have owned by far.

The Terignota Sendero Shorts is a dream come true! The price, fit, comfort, and the built-in pockets around the waist band is perfect. The length is ideal, and the liner is comfortable. I can tuck a 10 oz. hard flask in the front, my phone, key, DJI osmo pocket, and a gel for daily runs. Thank the world for creating great shorts without breaking the bank!

Love love love these! Cute, super comfy and have a high leg slit. The full waistband pocket is perfect for carrying all my stuff without a vest, and they stay up!

Stays put, amply pocketed, comfortable, and chafe-free. What more can you ask for? I love the extra storage in these on big days so I can divvy up my stash between vest and shorts for better weight distribution, and so I don't have to fish around for special things like my caffeinated gels when I'm braindead. And for shorter days when you don't want to wear a vest, you can fit a whole 16oz flask in the back so you can still go hands-free. Loose fit is a must during races for the ease of the side-short pee. Big fan of one small detail in particular: the drawstring having its own stash pocket so the knot doesn't dig into my stomach.

As a tall female (5ft11) I opt for the men’s shorts for a longer 5” inseam. I am a 27” waist, 38” hips and the men’s S fits well.

Everyone is wearing these shorts for good reason! So light and flowy with pockets for some gels or my keys. I have them in every color.

For the price these are the best dollar for dollar shorts I've ever worn. Comfortable and have plenty of storage. I also have a pair in womens cut in XL, they have a little bit shorter inseam and sometimes that's what I want.

As someone who has always been a “smedium” the Sendero short has made a massive difference for my running enjoyment. They are perfectly fitting, and a killer price!
