Love these shorts

Absolutely love these shorts the way they fit and move while you move in them. The length is perfect. I was worried that they would be too short, but they are the perfect length that 4 inches. I will update the review after I wash them a few times to see how they uphold washing.

Sweat shows up easily and sizes come up large

The fabric on these shorts feels is really nice to the touch, and I love the colour of my green shorts.

I have >5 pair of these. all in black- wear them all the time! bought the white w black stitching and the light pink stripe momentum top, and it super cute. I like the stitching details, surprisingly. The liner in the white is beige. I am mid 50s, 5'5" 130, usually wear a M in leggings but S in these. These are an appropriate length for me and don't cut into my waist leaving a muffin top. I like the zip pocket for my key and doggie bag. They've held up amazing (hang dry)

A great purchase
