Reviews

Love them

"This is the first pair or running short tights I have bought and I feel comfortable in them. They look and feel great. Quality is good too. Don't downsize though as they are true to size. Service from LSKD is second to none and I have never had an on-line clothes company that makes returns so easy."

— Lindsay A. (5/5)

Great race day shorts

"I was looking for some race day shorts to hold my gels, these did not disappoint. Completed Perth marathon 2026, packed in 5 gels into each leg pocket, phone and salt tabs in a running belt. I could have used the rear pocket too but it wasn't to my preference for this race. Highly recommend. Sizing was true to my normal shorts size of medium. Will be buying more lskd shorts in the future for sure."

— Adam U. (5/5)

First half tights owned

"First pair of half tights I’ve ever owned to prevent chafing and they feel so elite! They don’t ride up and the pockets don’t bounce around despite having things like your phone in them. The comfort is amazing! Very happy with this purchase."

— Christopher C. (5/5)

Needs resizing

"Great material and great product, but could do with a thicker/ higher waistband and should be longer so you can in them with out having to wear shorts over the top, I wear a medium in all lskd but these probably needed to be a large"

— Aaron D. (3/5)

Very comfy, zero chafe

"Have now put these through their paces in 2 marathons and an ultramarathon. Very comfy, great support and zero chafing"

— Jason N. (5/5)

Race Day Short Tight 8"

"Worn them on every run since they arrived a week ago, so about 50 miles. Extremely comfortable and look great! Being middle aged, but a regular marathon runner, I wasn't sure half tights were meant for me! Well, turns out they are, I love them! If you're unsure, buy them!!"

— Scott M. (5/5)

GC50 buy

"The staff at the GC50 so helpful and went over and beyond"

— Joshua M. (5/5)

Excellent quality products and true to size

"Great half tights, excellent quality and true to size"

— Andrew C. (5/5)

Running tights

"Really nice quality and material. As a larger runner in xl I feel like they could be slightly longer in the bigger sizes. With the silicon they don’t ride up and really got at stopping chafing. Would really like a 2n1 shorts with this as the liner."

— Campbell S. (3/5)
