"Absolutely LOVE these shorts! I wear them all the time. They’re so comfortable and flattering. My only criticism is that the material is quite light and thin, and unfortunately the stitching ripped when the shorts caught on the edge of my car. I’d love to see the same style made with slightly more durable material."
"The best running short! I al a size 14-16 and wear these in an XXL. The cut of the short is both freeing and covering for a beautiful flow and performance. The fabric is light, no texture or rubbing making these one of the most comfortable pairs of shorts I own. I allllways get compliments too. I’m an hourglass shape with a mum tum so I prefer to size up one size to help with personal preference on aesthetics."
"I love them! My big concern with them is that I have worn two different pairs twice, and they are like shredding at the bottom. I washed them without fabric softener on delicate/cold water and air dried them (I air dry most of my clothes) and it still did it, after only two wears. They are quite expensive too so that’s not great"
"Accelerate shorts are the accelerate shorts. Only reason this review is 4 stars is because the pink color is not as vibrant for the female shorts as pictured. Especially that I bought it to match the male shorts for a mixed doubles hyrox there is a definite difference in color between the two."
"I love these shorts! They are super flattering. I wore them for my half-marathon and they didn't cause chaffing, the material is light and comfortable. The only downside is the price, $75 for one pair of shorts is quite expensive, which is the only reason why I wouldn't rate 5 stars."
"This colour is everything! Super light fit, I sized up so that the band wasn’t so tight around my hips as I have a longer torso. Can’t fault them!"
"I bought a pair of shorts for me and the wife, plus a top for her. Unfortunately, first set did not fit well, even though were nice products. Exchange was smooth, and hustle free. Next set arrived 10 days after, and everything looks and fit great."
"I absolutely love my Accelerate 3” High-Rise Running Shorts in Boysenberry/Pink Rose! The comfort, amount of space, texture, and colour combination are everything. I’m usually not one for bright colours, but I wanted to step outside my comfort zone. I originally purchased these as a statement piece to celebrate completing my first half marathon, and honestly, I’ve never looked back! They made the milestone feel even more special, and I’m so happy I went for something outside my usual style. They’re comfortable, practical, and the colour combo is gorgeous. I would definitely purchase more!"
"Where have these shorts been my whole life?? Best ever. So lightweight it feels like wearing nothing, also very flattering without being too revealing, which surprised me. I’ve tried similar Nike shorts that were less flattering, less comfortable, and more revealing. Same with Free People. I immediately went back for more! I have tried literally every 2.5-3” running shorts on the market, for over 30 years— these are SUPREME!"
"I am really liking these shorts overall, but a few notes. Size up! I am a size M according to the size chart and i got a size XL and they fit perfectly. If i wanted to waistband to be tight i could have done a L. I am 83cm waist. Also if you have thighs that touch, the shorts do bunch up which is a bit annoying."
