outstanding comfort

What a lightweight and comfortable pair of shorts! They are super comfortable, and feel like I'm not wearing anything.

GREAT GYM SHORTS

I return a pair of shorts that I have bought that were the ring stop mile maker shorts when I saw these in blue I thought let me return these others and get these. I finally received them and was so happy, I sized down so it doesn’t flare out too much. They literally look like an old-school short that you see bodybuilders wore during the golden age of bodybuilding. perfect for leg day as well compared to many of the shorts, the slip design on the side, surely helps various.

Love these

Fit perfect! I saw another review that said they run big but that wasn’t the case for me. I’m 5’10 215 lbs muscular and Large was perfect where they fit like they are shown in the model. I usually wear xl in other short styles. Only downside is I wish they had pockets. There is room to have them. I’m going to buy other colors. Please bring more colors!!!!

Favorite shorts!

Love the 4 inch inseam! Breathable and stylish. I really really love how I can do the leg press machine and not have the family jewels exposed. Great pair of shorts and I hope they release more 4 inch inseams in different colors!

Just needs pockets

Even a pair of 4” shorts need pockets. If these had pockets they would be the perfect shorts for the gym to show off the legs

We love hearing these shorts are an easy go-to—your callout for pockets doesn't go unnoticed, so thanks for sharing where we can evolve this style.

Really nice gym shorts!

I want various gym shorts by Lululemon and have a great purpose and materials for the specific athlete, but I love the fact that these shorts are kind of modern take of classic gym attire the material is nice. It has a really good mesh breathability and the 4 inch cut is just amazing for someone who enjoys leg days and bodybuilding is the perfect short for any type of workout. I hope they release more colors. I normally wear a large in shorts, but I bought these in a medium (they run a bit big)
