These 10 Running Shorts Are the Secret to a Chafe-Free Workout

Athleta Mesh Racer Run Short ($26-49)

Running on a hot day is uncomfortable enough, and chafing can easily make it worse. These four-inch Athleta running shorts, however, are made with fabric that dries as soon as you break a sweat in order to prevent chafing. They also have UPF 50+ built in to protect your skin from prolonged sun exposure.

Why we love it: In addition to the fabric being chafe-resistant, they're also good for the environment: these shorts are made out of sustainable materials, including recycled plastic bottles.

What's worth noting: Since they're so lightweight, some customers feel these shorts are are too see-through.
