Roots Shorts Women's (2025)

The perforated waistband is the real winner here — I didn't overheat once on a sweaty gym session. Organic cotton feels soft against my skin and the pockets actually hold my phone without sagging.

Wore these on a long approach hike and the perforated waistband honestly kept me from overheating where it counts. The pockets actually hold a phone without bouncing around, which I didn't expect from shorts this light.

Wore these on a three-hour climb and the organic cotton never got clammy, which I wasn't expecting from a short. The pockets actually hold my phone without bouncing around on the approach.
