Comfort and more stretch than pace breakers
Soft and breathable. Very stretch, if you are in between sizes, choose the smaller one. I usually buy L but this one M feels better.

The Metal Vent Tech Linerless Short 5" sounds like a perfect fit with its comfortable length and relaxed feel through the thighs. Thanks for sharing—and we appreciate your request for more colours.

Fantastic shorts!
These shorts are truly truly the best I have ever had from lululemon. I am a big big fan of the 5 inch pace breaker short, but this pair of shorts takes it to the next level awesome awesome design, breathability, and versatility they excel at everything. Now this  is probably the best well designed short that Lululemon has ever made .awesome job guys.

Best do it all shorts
Amazing. Fit is perfect. Lounging. Workouts. These shorts are awesome. They hug in the right places and are loose where they are supposed to be. Material is breathable. They didn’t have any in store though just one return which happened to be my size.

Best shorts lululemon makes
These are the best shorts you guys make. I’ve been wearing them for tennis and they’re awesome. Fit is great and the look is cool. Would be nice to see you guys have some more consistency with your products and not be so seasonal with looks. It would be great to see these in more colours. Hopefully you don’t discontinue this product. You need to get it in stores — same with your men’s tennis stuff which I own a lot of.

We're glad you’re loving the fit, performance, and overall look—that combination really matters when you’re moving fast on court. And your feedback is super valuable too: wanting more consistent availability, more colour options, and better in-store access is exactly the kind of insight that helps improve how pieces are carried and offered.

Super comfy
This is the comfiest pair of shorts I own now and I love the zippers on the shorts. Cut and style of the shorts shows off the quads great too. 10/10
