Great 2-in-1 running shorts

Really great lightweight and airy running shorts for longer distances. Only wish there were pockets for gels, so I can avoid carrying a running belt!

The logos are ridiculous

I would have kept these if it werent for the ridiculous “LULU” writing on the front of the leg. No paying to be an advertisement. They look trashy

Almost great

The fit and waistband were great but the quality isn’t there. I have worn these 3 times and the shorts are pretty much unwearable. The knit fabric comes apart and once you have one loose thread it’s never ending. Really bummed about how fast these deteriorated.
