Long Roga Shorts

I wore these shorts for my 50k that took place in August in Wisconsin (so yes, it was humid). They gave me zero problems! No chafing, no riding up, no twisting around, to be honest I barely thought about them the whole run. And as stated, it was humid so I was wet, these shorts stood up right through that, they weren't heavy, they weren't sticking weird - and did I say no chafing - would 100% recommend these for anyone for anything!

I was on a run in my rogas , as usual, when I passed a dog on a loose leash who snapped at my hip as I ran past, nabbing my shorts. Not only did my shorts prevent a puncture in my hip, but they came away unscathed! super shorts, indeed ❤️

I'm 5 foot and about 115 with generous thighs. I tried running in spandex and biker shorts and its just not for me. I found these because I follow Kara Goucher, the Olympian, on Instagram and she is a spokesperson for this brand. I am sold! I bought the long Roga on a whim and now I have several pairs and the toolbelt ones as well. They absolutely DO NOT ride up even on my humid run in NC. The waist is comfy and the liner doesn't chafe. I am so happy and excited to up my collection.

I really like these, I think the fact that I like them so much is why I am a little frustrated with them too. I am tall and built with curves, so I had read about these long rogas as being the best and I bought some up during the new old stock sale (along with one of the most current ones). They are a nice length and the material and construction are awesome. My challenge is that they are kinda low rise on me, not more mid like is pictured. That coupled with being a size 12 and curvy meant that it hit low and even though they aren’t tight give me a whopping muffin top, which honestly makes me feel self conscious which is exactly what I don’t want to feel when I am getting going to run. Also the thighs do run narrow which is fine except that seems to cause them to ride up a little between my legs, not enough to cause chafing, but again, enough to make me self conscious. Maybe I could size up, but then I wonder about them just being too big. If I could change anything it would be a slightly stiffer material that might discourage the creep between the legs and a higher rise for the larger sizes? Maybe an extra .5-1” in the inseam too? I mean, the inseam/rise on someone in a size 2 is definitely going to hit different than someone for a size 12 and I guess I just don’t feel like that is taken into account? Anyway, I still wear them when I am trail running and know I won’t be running into lots of people, I just find myself trying to adjust constantly rather than losing myself and enjoying the run.

These shorts are my new favorite! I now have shorts I can wear on long runs without thigh chafing. All other brands of shorts I’ve tried always ride up: Lululemon, Athleta, Target, Nike, Old Navy, etc.

Now I no longer have to overheat while wearing leggings to run! YAY! Also the zipper pocket on the front is super convenient.

EXTENDED SIZING review. I purchased long rogas and flyout tanks. For reference I wear an 18 in jeans and 20 in dresses. I chose size 20/22 because I measure for a 24/26 for my waist and 16/18 for my hips, so I decided on meeting in the middle and going for 20/22 for the tops and bottoms. I will keep everything but next time I may go for the 24/26 for tops. The shorts are perfect. I also got the dark night runner trucker. Highly recommended! 💕🙌🏼

Pictures include a closeup of the fall floral next to the queen color. I may also purchase the green color. The other set is the cirrus print and crackle.

Wow, I appreciate these shorts! I’ve looked high and low for shorts that didn’t bunch up between my thighs when I run. Honestly I’d almost given up on wearing loose shorts for running, because no matter what I did, soon after starting my run I’d be trying to pull them back down constantly. And if I gave up, I’d come back with badly chafed thighs. But not with this short! I’ve taken two runs with them since I purchased them, one treadmill and one outdoor run, and these stayed put! And the pockets are awesome, my heavy phone rides in the back pocket without causing the shorts to fall down.

I feel the sizing is a little odd—I typically wear a size 6 in Oiselle, but I preferred a size 4 in these shorts. This is partly because I wanted a sleeker, less blousy leg, and also because the size 6 just felt too loose in the waist, even with the drawstring. The size 4 is slightly tight in the waist. But the tightness doesn’t bother me at all when walking and running. If I was just sitting around it might not be as comfy. For reference, I’m 5’7”, 140lbs, 30” waist and 39” hips.

I have a pair of both the short and long Roga shorts and I love both. The longer short has zippered side and back pockets so it has more options than the shorter style. The splashy print makes running even more fun. First time I've tried shorts with a built-in brief and it's so comfortable!

Perfect

Love the long roga shorts. Wear them everyday in hot Houston summers. I’m usually a size 12 in clothing but size 10 fits me perfectly. Please more colors, especially chocolate brown and dark green!

I love the length (6") and fabric, but am disappointed with the rear pocket, my phone does not fit in the zippered pocket - it takes some manipulation to get it inside & out....the side pocket is great to carry my key

These shorts are very comfortable for running except they just run a bit large, I would have sized down if I knew

I love the Roga long shorts! The longer length is perfect and the fit makes them very flattering! I only wish they had small waist band pocket for my car key. Also wish there were two side pockets instead of just one. Even without these features I haven't found anything I like as much. This is my 4th pair.

I run and lift. The long Roga shorts are the perfect length for the gym. I don’t have to worry about getting cheeky or offering a view of my crotch when I’m doing straight leg deadlifts, bridges, bench work or any other lift that would expose my bottom. The hidden zipper pocket is super useful too.

Love the colors and goes well with tank I ordered in a orange red. Size 4 fit well. I normally wear Size 4. I'm 5'3" and 130#. Zip pockets always a plus. Wish there was a zip pocket on each side.

Love them! The length is great. The waist is comfy and stays place. Don't hesitate if you think these are for you!

These are the perfect length (long enough to prevent chafing without being too long). They’re comfy on the run and wearing out to have fun in the weekend.

Super comfy — I got the 6 inch and love them, but thought I saw an 8 inch version a while ago? Are those discontinued or sold out?? Thanks!

Hands down my best running short. Don't even think about them when wearing which is rare as I am apparently missing a thigh gap and most shorts ride up. Please add some additional colors so I can look even faster.

These shorts are made out of the best material!! I wear a size 10 in Oiselle pants, and got size 10 shorts which fits over my hips, but the waist is too loose so next time I might try a size 8 (hopefully it will stretch over my hips!)

So cute on! Most comfortable running shorts i own!

I demand a lot of my shorts, and these pass the test! Full coverage and flattering profile. Waist sits at the correct place (not too high and not too low). I don't have any riding up of the shorts. I was a bit concerned about the angled cut on the leg and the side slit but these aren't as noticeable on me as they appear to be on the model in the product photos. Absolutely love the liner inside too. I subtracted one star because, like other reviewers, I bought two sizes and kept both as they each offer a pro and con. Overall these shorts stretch a bit in the waist so I'd recommend keeping the smaller size if you're in between. I'm a bit surprised there's such a different in between two sizes, but the larger is a bit large in the waist and requires me to cinch it. The smaller size waist fits better but the liner and leg openings seem to remind me they are on my body when doing significant activity. I wash these inside out in a garment bag and I'm a bit dismayed how rubbed they already look from washing them only a few times. Overally I'm really happy

I have several older Oiselles that I adore but had not tried the Long Roga Shorts, drawn to the length, which as other reviewers have pointed out, means better coverage and comfort. Love the pockets and pattern too. However, the waist is rather large -- much larger than a yoga-pant-style waist. The drawstring helps, but then you're sorta wearing a skirt. Unfortunately, I ran right away in my new Rogas ... now wish I had exchanged them. Consider sizing down.

Bought these in corral first then ordered a second pair in black which I recently wore to run my first ever half marathon in San Francisco. Perfect length and comfortable around my not so hourglass waist!

These shorts are great for hiking and walking. Wish the print fabric was darker on the back side (inside), since it shows when you walk.

These short are perfect for my aging body shape. I like something a little longer, but still easy to jog in and doesn’t flap in the breeze. The print is fun as well!
