These shorts are a hit

Bought for my brother, an ultra marathoner because of the pink colour to make him visible on race course. He loves them and said will buy more! Loves the 4 inch length for long endurance, said that’s his favourite part and better than most others that come 5 inch. He is always medium in lulu and said these fit the same

Made to go the extra Mile. We love that the Mile Maker Ripstop Lined Short 4" is ultra-marathoner approved, with a standout colour, just-right 4" length, and familiar fit that has him ready for another pair.

Good runner

Nice pair of shorts. No pockets except on the liner and the back pocket. Front pocket perfect for my phone. I love rubbing in these and the 6”. They’re my go to vs the license to train shorts

Happy to hear that the hidden pockets of the Mile Maker Ripstop Lined Short 4" have a liner that makes all the difference.

Great shorts for hot yoga

I love these shorts. Even though they are made for running, I found they work really well for hot yoga. They are cut shorter, which facilitates movement, and also have a tight liner so everything stays in place during inversions. I read that these shorts aren't good for yoga because they don't have 4 way stretch fabric, but I haven't noticed any problem with that.

A perfect pair

These are the best running shorts Lululemon has offered in a long time. The length is perfect for those who prefer a shorter inseam. Similar to the 4in surge shorts Lulu used to offer, but a better iteration. The zipper on the back is a nice touch. They don’t run up and and can comfortably handle long runs carrying the essentials. I only wish more colors were offered similar to the 6in iteration.
