How Lucy Endurance Woven Shorts Rate:

Usefulness: 10/10. The eternal question: why doesn’t most women’s activewear come with pockets? The Lucy Endurance shorts give us two, and are super comfortable.
Value: 7/10. These are somewhat pricier than other running shorts you can find.
Portability: 10/10. The shorts are lightweight and quick-drying.
Cool Factor: 10/10. It’s hard to find running shorts that aren’t either too long or microscopic. With a 3.5 inch inseam, the Lucy Endurance shorts look just right.

Final Verdict: The Lucy Endurance shorts are comfortable, quick-drying, and will definitely join us on our next hot weather workout or active vacation.
