Size up!

I wear an M for Pacebreakers, but I wish I got these in L as they definitely run about a full size small. I unfortunately cut the tag off before working out in them. Besides the sizing, they are really nice lightweight shorts with nice details!

We hear you on the sizing surprise, though, especially when your usual Pace Breaker size didn't translate to the Fast and Frees. Finding that out after the tags are off is definitely frustrating. Thanks for sharing the heads-up on fit.

waistband loop design is bad

Updated loops on the back of the shorts are 100x less effective and look worse than the previous design. Doesn’t stretch so it’s quite hard to fit any shirt or towel. Didn’t need to be changed :/ hope they bring back the elastic loops that were parallel to waist band. Also the pair I bought online arrived with the security tag still attached. Now i have to go into the store with my online receipt and look sus

Not great

Shorts got saturated quickly during working and stuck to the skin like a wet cloth. Thought they would dry quicker, but nope.

That’s definitely not the kind of cling we’re going for. We know how important it is for your gear to keep up when the sweat starts flowing, and we’re sorry these shorts left you feeling weighed down instead. Thanks for putting them to the test and sharing your experience with us—we’re taking this feedback on board.
