Comments about Asics Metrocircuit 2-N-1 Short (Blue):

I like to get workout shorts with a built in "underwear" via a sewn in brief or compression short. That way, you don't have to go through 2 pairs of underwear on your workout days for those who like to workout mid day. I just wish more manufacturers did them in more sizes. Often times, the shorts are too short and you end up looking like some geek in your junior high gym class.

What I like about these shorts are the length of 10" which falls at mid knee cap for me. It's long enough to be sensible without being too long and ending up looking like a wannabe baller. Also the fabric is stretchy which is great when you're doing movements that require flexibility. Compression shorts are great to prevent you from showing too much thigh when you are on your back doing leg presses, or you have your legs in the air doing crunches.

Bonus is the stow away pocket sewn in the inner waist line where you can put a set of keys and/or gym membership card. It's shallow so it won't be rattling around as if you put it in your side pockets which gets annoying on a treadmill.
