Oiselle Roga Short : High Mileage, Low Maintenance
 |
I am thrilled that I found this short at the beginning of my marathon training season because now I get to wear it all season. The light and flowy fabric hooked me right away. The Roga short is made out of a technical mesh that is breathable and moisture- wicking and, unlike many other technical running shorts, isn't stiff. Instead these shorts have a really flattering, feather-light drape that doesn't constrict movement, even when I was running speed drills at the track.
Aside from the great fabric and how good these shorts feel on, what I really fell in love with was the fit. Although I consider myself to be built like a typical runner (long thin legs with almost no hips) running shorts never seem to flatter my shape. But the Roga short is clearly from a company that knows women. The wide flat waistband sits low on the waist to hang just right off my hips. The inseam is a respectable 4"- short enough not to restrict movement but long enough that I feel covered when I run into the grocery store on the way home.
Although this short has a real minimalist feel about it, Oiselle didn't skimp on features. The built-in brief, made of a lightweight crepe, actually fits. It doesn't bunch or squeeze, but just feels how underwear should feel--almost like it's not there at all. There is also a small pocket nicely hidden in the liner where I can carry a car key and forget about it. The key stayed next to my body and didn't bounce around or need any adjustment.
Oiselle has a whole great line of gear catered specifically towards female runners. You can't beat that!
