![]() ![]() ![]() I call them my “please don’t hit me, I’m trying to run” outfits. Not only does it match my self-proclaimed sunny personality, but it also makes me more noticeable to cars on the road. Typically when choosing running clothes, I pick the brightest and flashiest ones. I'm obsessed with the bright colors of the Tracker Short. It keeps me from feeling that low-grade paranoia that maybe my keys slipped out during my run, so I can spend more time enjoying my workout. The best part? The pocket has a secure zipper-something I don’t typically see on most running shorts. Even on a regular run, it ensures that I have the essentials with me when I’m running to a specific destination and want to take the train back to my apartment. This is typically what I need to bring with me for a race, which means I won’t need to waste time checking a bag upon arrival. I find it big enough to fit my house keys, my train pass, a credit card, my license, and even a protein bar. While the Tracker Short only has one pocket, it’s massive and is tucked into the seam on the side of the shorts, so you barely notice it's there. Too often I find that running shorts will only have a tiny slash pocket that creates a crevice that will only hold a key or two or maybe an ID-but not enough to hold all the goods I need for a long run or a race. One of the things I care about most in running shorts is their pockets. The large pocket is one of my favorite feature of the shorts. They have a pocket that's actually useful The water and sweat wick away during the run and they dry quickly, meaning they're not festering in my sweat post-run. I've run in these during an unexpected downpour and in the humidity of North Carolina summer. They are also made with a fabric called Swift Fabric that is supposedly sweat-wicking and quick-drying. The stretchy waistband prevents any constriction I’ve felt with other shorts and the continuous drawcord keeps them from falling down mid-run. For example, I get my Tracker Shorts in a size 8, but I’ll typically wear a size 6 for leggings.Īccording to Lululemon's description, they’re made for “athletic quads,” which I can only assume means thicker thighs, but I feel like they’re designed for anyone who doesn’t want to feel uncomfortable while running. I also find that they don’t rub against my legs or cause any irritation (no chafing here!).Īlthough they’re made to be roomier, I recommend going a size up from your typical leggings size at Lululemon for ultimate comfort. Plus, the shorts themselves are looser around my legs compared to leggings and compression shorts, which make for a breezier workout. They’re short enough that they’re still nice and breathable, but they’re also not too short that I feel like they're riding up my butt during a run. While Lululemon offers a variety of lengths for their shorts, the four-inch ones are the Goldilocks of the lengths. The loose feel of these shorts make them breezy to run in.
