Product Summary

Lululemon’s Fast and Free Reflective High-Rise Classic-Fit Short 3” are lightweight shorts made with sweat-wicking and quick-drying fabric that offer four-way stretch. The shorts come with a naturally breathable mesh fabric liner that is also stated to be sweat-wicking and quick-drying. 

These shorts feature a high-rise design and 3-inch length with side slits. An internal drawcord allows you to customize the fit to your liking, while discreet waistband pockets provide a storage option for small items. Added reflective details increase visibility in low-light conditions, making these shorts a solid option for early morning or late-night runs.

Although these shorts are claimed by Lululemon to be made for running, multiple users have reported that they consistently ride up in the groin area when running. Others have noted that the slits on the sides are too revealing for their liking. Additionally, several reviews have stated that the waistband runs large, so you may consider sizing down depending on your preferences.
