They're Addidas, but beyond that I havent a clue. Plus side is the pockets. Negative side is that the lining is that stuff you get in swimming trunks... bit harsh. Still, that's what vaseline is for right?

Hah! Adidas do make shorts with smoother liners, and I've even got some with pockets. According to my order history on the site I bought them from, they're Adidas Clima Shorts, but I think Clima is the material, rather than the model. But at least Adidas might be a good brand to look for pocketed running shorts in!

Incidentally, as far as Vaseline goes I've found that the made-specifically-for-the-job alternatives are a bit better; less sticky and more glidey. I've tried Bodyglide and Lanacane Anti-Chafing Gel and they both work pretty well. (If you're in the UK, you can normally find the Lanacane in the larger Superdrug stores, but make sure it's the anti-chafing stuff, as they do a few different things is similar packaging.)

Cheers,

Matt
