I actually like the update!

So, I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading negative reviews of the F&F short update, but I really like them! I like the thicker waistband at the back. Sizing is a little weird though. Many reviews mention that these shorts fit small- I found the opposite. I’d say either TTS from the old F&F shorts, or big if you’re comparing to the hotty hots. In my pictures: new F&F size small (light purple) compared to hotty hot size 6 and the old F&F shorts (red), also 6. I’m sizing down next pair.

Great Find!

Great pair of shorts! great coverage with the built in underwear. I like the flap and think it will be nice when running. Ran slightly large so sized down.

The Fast and Free High-Rise Split Short 3" is designed with built-in coverage and that flap detail for freedom of movement on your runs. We appreciate you calling out the fit—sizing down can be a great option if they feel a bit roomy. Thanks for sharing your insight.
