How does this compare with the lululemon Speed Up short?

The Speed Up has a tighter liner-style fit and a shorter, more structured cut. The Fast and Free is looser through the leg with a split hem, so it suits runners who dislike a snug short.

Is the 3-inch inseam long enough for running?

It is on the short side. Runners who want more thigh coverage usually prefer a 4- to 5-inch short; this one is best for hot weather and runners comfortable with minimal coverage.

Does it have a liner?

The Fast and Free split short is designed as a loose outer short without a built-in brief, so pair it with your preferred underwear or a liner short.

What can I carry in the pockets?

The pockets hold small items such as keys, a card or a gel. A large phone may not fit securely in the split-short pockets.

How should I size it?

It runs true to lululemon's regular sizing with a loose leg. If you are between sizes and want a closer fit, size down; size up for a roomier feel.

Is it good for gym workouts too?

It is cut for running. The loose split leg and short inseam make it less suited to lifting or cycling, where tighter shorts work better.

About the lululemon Fast and Free High-Rise Classic-Fit Split Short 3"

The Fast and Free High-Rise Split Short is lululemon's lightweight running short, cut at 3 inches with a high waist and a loose, split-hem leg that opens up stride. It is built from recycled fabric with reflective details and pockets, aimed at runners who want minimal coverage without chafing. Against lululemon's own Speed Up and Hotty Hot shorts it trades a snug liner fit for a roomier, airier cut; reviewers of the Fast and Free line generally rate the fabric and waistband highly but some find the loose leg and short inseam too revealing for gym or everyday wear.
