Common sense says to test something out before trying them on a long journey, but I bought the Asics shorts right before my Grand Canyon hike figuring if they were uncomfortable, I could always take them off and pack them out. Well, they worked perfectly and now I'm a huge fan. I like shorts with liners, but like Nick have the chafing issue on the inner thigh. I do wear shorts over the compression shorts however. Don't like the "Where's the beef?" looks. A little self conscious in that department. Anyway, long runs yes, shorter runs no, they are a little constricting and I also tend to overheat.
You said everything that I feel about the shorts with liners. I did break down at Target today as they actually had sone cheap champion running shorts and picked up two pair. I will use these for my short runs and then will cut the liners out of my old ones and use those with compression shorts for my "long" runs. I may even go and pick up a couple more compression shorts from road runner in the near future.
