Shorts
The verdict
A newer activewear-leaning take on the brand's sweatshort — reasonable if the added stretch holds up, though less proven than the core styles.
Fit
Likely a relaxed fit similar to the brand's other sweatshorts, possibly with a touch more stretch given the 'active' positioning.
Quality
As part of a newer sub-line, expect construction in line with the brand's standards, but with less of a track record than its long-running classic sweatshort.
Is the price fair?
At $95, it's priced at the brand's mid-tier, close to its core sweatshort — fair if the added stretch holds up, but there's less to go on here.
Best for
Shoppers who want a slightly more athletic-leaning version of the brand's relaxed sweatshort.
Care
Wash cold and avoid fabric softener if the piece has any performance-oriented finish.
