Love these shorts!

The design is clean, the fabric is incredibly comfortable, and the quality is exactly what I expect from lululemon. My only suggestion would be to offer a slightly longer inseam. The 3-inch version feels a bit too short, while a 3.5-inch or 4-inch option would still provide excellent comfort but with a little more coverage and confidence during workouts. It would also be great to see more color options so customers have more variety to choose from.

Love these shorts

I paired the shorts with my new Lulu tank and it’s a great duo. My friend wanted to buy the exact same outfit.

Lightweight Lightening Strike

I was a little worried I should have sized up as the liner feels a little tight on normal wear. However, these are fantastic sub 90-120min run shorts. They disappear at pace. They have enough pockets for a couple gels and your keys. The shirt loops are also killer and one of my favorite Fast and Free features. I’m allergic to running in shirts but sometimes you need to keep a top on in transit.
