Product Summary
Made with 90% recycled plastic bottles and 10% spandex, the Girlfriend Collective Black FLOAT is a lightweight run short designed to be sweat-wicking, squat-proof, and provide just enough, but not too much, compression.
The soft feel keeps you comfortable while the material provides protection from the sun (rated UPF 50+). While these shorts lack side seams in order to prevent chafing, there are reviewers who found the bottom seam to be unforgiving.
The FLOAT short does come with a small center back pocket where you can store small keys or cards. While many appreciate the lightweight nature of these shorts, some did find the material to feel too thin.
The inclusive sizing is rather impressive as sizes range from XXS all the way through 6XL.
