Perfect running shorts

The best running/lightweight shorts, hands down The new redesign has unfortunately taken this product downhill and IMO, this and the older Surge are peak Lululemon with some of my pairs indestructible after 5-6 years of constant abuse. Perfect fit, perfect length, with thoughtful designs for pockets, shirt loop and liner. These accompany me on alpine hikes, short runs, half marathons, or even just in between home & gym. Please bring these back!

Best running short

Best running shorts I’ve found. Love the pockets that allow me to carry a phone or small wallet while running without having them bounce around. Also, contrary to other reviews, love the longer liner on the shorts. Prevents any chafing. Extremely comfortable.
