It's made of the same stretchy fabric as the liner and it's the perfect place to hold your keys. You'll also find a concealed, open pocket on the front part of the shorts. I like to keep any important cards in there while I'm out.
LULULEMON SPEED UP HIGH RISE ZIP
There's a zip pocket on the back of the shorts that's ideal for storing any small essentials while you run. Personally, I like the longer option because it still feels like a short-short, but it keeps my butt covered and has a medium-rise that hits comfortably right at the waist. My pair has a 4-inch inseam, but the regular Speed Up Shorts have a 2.5-inch inseam if you prefer a style that's a bit shorter. They also don't ride up as much when I run compared to pairs like the Nike Tempo Running Shorts, which I have a feeling has to do with the V-shaped construction on the sides. This makes the shorts more flattering and comfortable. The opening of the shorts is wider than many other athletic shorts I've tried. What I love most about these shorts though is the fit. I love the way the fabrics feel - the liner is really soft and the outer Swift fabric can withstand the elements really well.

The shorts themselves are made of Lululemon's Swift fabric, a lightweight but durable woven material that's sweat-wicking and water-repellent. There's even a touch of Lycra to help the liner keep its shape and prevent it from stretching out. The liner inside of the shorts is made of a stretchy, sweat-wicking, quick-drying material. Lululemon is known for its focus on fabrics and the Speed Up Shorts deliver to that end.
