I love the contour 6-inch shorts

I love the contour 6-inch shorts. They are my absolute favourite shorts. They dont ride up and the contour fit flatters my stomach. I am also pregnant and will soon be getting a baby-bump and I am sure the contour shape at the stomach will allow me to use the shorts for a longer time than other shorts.

The fit is perfect

The fit is perfect. It’s the right length on the thigh and doesn’t move upwards when running.

Snatched, Sculpted & SO Comfortable! 🔥

I honestly didn’t expect to love these shorts THIS much! 😍 The fit is incredibly flattering — they hug in all the right places, give such a beautiful sculpted look and still feel comfortable enough to actually move and train in. No constantly pulling them up or adjusting them during a workout 🙌🏽
The quality is amazing and you can genuinely feel the difference compared to ordinary activewear. They make me feel confident, supported and put together even when I’m fighting for my life during a workout 😂🔥 Definitely one of those pieces you reach for over and over again.
Burnt has officially made it dangerous for me to open their website because somehow I always find something else I “need” 😭😂🤌🏽 10/10 from me!

This cutie fits fantastically!

This cutie fits fantastically!
I absolutely adore the overlapping in the front, which creates the **** V shape in front. I am in love and so comfy! Not to mention the rubber detail inside by the hem which keeps them from rising up. BYE to constant tugging 👋🏻

An absolute staple

This pants does not ride up on slide down for any reason whatsoever. I run in it, I do yoga in it and I crossfit in it. The cut is very flattering , and is definitely a staple.

Perfect fit for running

These running shorts fit beautifully and are really comfortable to run in. They stay securely in place without riding up or moving around, even during longer runs. I’m very happy with the fit and performance. My only disappointment is that they aren’t locally manufactured, but made in china

Most comfortable and flattering shorts! I want 10

Most comfortable and flattering shorts! I want 10 pairs so I never have to take them off. Love for gym, running and chilling. Flattering especially with crossover waistband, and do not ride up. The best.

My wife's definition of perfection

Bought it for my wife and this was her review:

Fit & Feel: 10/10. Zero waist-band roll-down, zero sheer moments when squatting, and absolute butter-soft comfort.

Durability: Survives high-intensity workouts, endless laundry cycles, and daily wear without losing shape or compression.

Verdict: If the dictionary needs an entry for perfection, a photo of these short leggings belongs right next to the definition. Best pair I own.

Burnt Tights

Love the Burnt tights, especially with the "V" shaping in the front! It gives the waist a flattering look while still keeping you comfortable to sweat and workout! They are great!

The Perfect ShortS

Absolutely love these shorts. They’re incredibly flattering, comfortable, and stay in place during workouts. The fabric is soft with just the right amount of compression, and the fit is amazing. Definitely one of my favourite activewear purchases I’ll be getting more.

These are the most comfortable shorts I have to run in, they even beat a different burnt pair that I ran CTM in and I thought those were incredible 🙌

Obsessed!

I ran comrades with these tights they were incredible. Zero chafing, no slipping down, and the compression felt amaizing for 86km. Stayed comfartable from start to finish. *BURNT* did not disappoint, these are my new go-to for long runs!

Great exercise pants

This style is perfect. It is my 3rd one. Two for winter and one so far for summer. Save and buy when I can and I believe two per season is more than enough since the quality means it will last very long.

Absolutely love my shorts. Perfect fit and super comfortable! I will definitely purchase another pair. The grip around the legs are the best for running and all round comfort. Thank you ⭐️
