Great shorts. Very comfortable and can be used for a variety of activities working out or anything you need.
I was hesitant on paying this much for shorts, but they are totally worth it! These provide plenty of room to move around when working out and are extremely light and dry super fast. I look forward to also wearing these when doing yard work and even swimming. If you are between 2 sizes, I would size down. I did and it worked out perfect.

Shorts were very comfortable, and had plenty of room for squatting. Like the velcro closure coupled with the string waist ties.
I love the comfort, fit and flexibility of these shorts! I prefer shorts without elastic waistbands and the velcro closure on these are simple, fast and far more comfortable to me than elastic. These shorts are perfect for anything you want to do; beach, pool, gym or just every day wear. These are by far, my favorite shorts that I have ever purchased and so far, I have 5 pair.👍

Every bra serves a different purpose for different activities and we recommend referencing each specific bra product description to determine the best bra for your body and sport. Our bras should generally fit snug. Wearing the bras too loose will not likely provide adequate support.
***Please note, a majority of our sports bras are medium support and medium coverage. If you are looking for the highest impact support that we offer; check out the X-Factor, Intensity or Moxie Sports Bra!
