Fast and free line going backwards
I don’t get it. The fast and free line continues to go backwards instead of improving. This new material that’s being used seems lighter but seems like it’ll cling worse than the previous iteration. Sizing: runs too small. I usually wear a S and the liner is way too tight and also feels tight around the waist. Pockets: this iteration ditched the small external side pocket which was a nice feature on the previous. Would only get these if significantly discounted. Pls take runner feedback!!!

Runs Small
Love the look of these shorts, but the fit is a bit funky and the outer shell fabric gets clingy when sweaty. I'm usually an XS/4 in women's shorts and XS in men's but the brief-style liner in these and the waistband runs smaller than other styles I have tried and wished I had sized up in these.

Zero pockets
Not even a pocket for a pair of keys! I’m sure the material is fine but at $88 these short are very low value for money.

Security Tag
Shorts arrived with security tag still attached. Quite frustrating to run a marathon with that on there.

A marathon should be remembered for the miles, not for an unexpected security tag. We've taken note of your feedback and can appreciate how frustrating it would be to receive your Fast and Free Lined Split Shorts with the tag still attached. Keep an eye on your inbox—we've sent you an email to continue the conversation.

Lack of pockets
These shorts are good for shorter runs, but the lack of pockets more specifically the one on the back kind of makes it miss the Mark. You can’t really put your phone or similar sized items anywhere.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on the Fast and Free Lined Split Short 3". We're glad to hear they've worked well for shorter runs. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on the storage options, as carrying needs can vary from person to person. If you'd like a little more room for essentials like your phone, the Mile Maker Ripstop Lined Short 4" may be worth exploring, with built-in liner pockets and a zippered back pocket. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Where are the pockets?
As a runner, I need an external drop pockets for my essentials for easy access. Why was it removed?
