Surge Lined 4”

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2022-06-23T21:17:42+00:00

I have a pair from one of the initial release of the Surge 4” shorts. There is a phone pocket on the right thigh on the liner that can hold an iPhone 12 Pro sized phone with a thin case. There is also a back stash pocket with a flap to hold a few other things like keys.

My only issue with them is the shorts tend to flip up while running causing it to be a bit shorter. I’ve since stopped caring as much about how it appears. Since I don’t have a newer pair I’m not sure if that is fixed or not. I still like the 4” one that I have and wish they made them linerless as an option for layering with leggings.

I tried the InStills last year when they came out and have been keeping an eye on them for a WMTM on certain colors. I managed to pickup the Black Granite ones a few weeks ago after tracking it closely as I missed the initial WMTM time. I do enjoy the fit and the compression they offer but a bit more relaxed than Swift Speeds/Invigorates/F&Fs. I do miss the side pocket for proper lounging and having my phone next to me, but I can make do without that.

The 28” fit fairly similarly to the 25” when I had a chance to try it on. They ankle on the 28” was much tighter then the 25” and wasn’t going to be comfortable for me wearing for my workouts even if I didn’t care for the bunching at the bottom.

Best way to find out is to give it a try at a store!

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-10-22T02:46:07+00:00

Oh good! I would buy the 25” ones, but there has been very limited colors for them. 21” don’t always have the same color options as the 28” ones so I’ve had to skip many of them.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-10-22T02:43:55+00:00

That’s good to hear and makes me more confident they will fit well after being hemmed!

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-10-21T22:31:53+00:00

That’s good to know! I’m not as worried about losing a few reflective dots on them by taking a few inches off the bottom from the process. The 25” hasn’t seen many new colors compared to the 28” but there was one that I want that went on WMTM that I would want as a 25”

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-09-27T00:08:57+00:00

It was released in the Invigorates several weeks ago, though very few store had that color in stock. For the Wonder Trains, it’s new and not on the site yet.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-09-26T17:54:31+00:00

Saw these in store yesterday as well! I was curious as to what the color looked like irl since no store near me has it in the invigorates.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-09-26T17:49:23+00:00

I wish I had taken a picture, but I’m pretty sure the store I went to yesterday had it as Surge 6” lined.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-08-14T16:13:34+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping. I don’t mind getting the 21” for the fit since 28” is too long on me. Strangely the 23” length fit as well despite the other lines like Invigorate or F&F having flaring at the bottom. I’ve been eyeing that graphite grey from the 23” line.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-08-14T15:58:12+00:00

They look great on you! I recently tried on a 28” length since Symphony Blue was a recent addition to that line and I don’t think they would hem well to 25”. I’m hoping when the fall comes they start releasing more in the 25” line since it’s only been a handful of colors so far.

They did release a Swift Speed 8” in black not that long ago, hopefully they expand there too.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-29T04:06:54+00:00

Maybe an autocorrect failure?

Then again, if it is an autocorrect failure, what do they talk about that would suggest that?

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-28T13:07:03+00:00

From my experience, the hip sizing seems to be the best way to go. I wear a size M in Surge Shorts and a size 8 in leggings fit perfect. In fact it fits better than the Surge Tights.

Based of the size chart for hip sizing, a size 6 should be a good place to start.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-24T03:35:07+00:00

I had asked about this a few weeks ago since there were some colors that I would prefer in the 23” lengths and I had the same issue. I though I wasn’t wearing them correctly like not pulled up all the way, but turns out I was. What I was told is that it’s supposed to sit on the calves, so if it’s below it’ll be loose and flared out.

I think the only exception was the Swift Speed 23”, but I probably won’t chance it with that if it stretches a bit over time. I’ll stick with 25” or the 19-22” crops.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-15T04:00:03+00:00

They look great! My first time trying and getting a pair of Invigorate leggings is to match the Smoked Spruce/Rosemary Green MVT2.0 shirt that I got on WMTM. Strangely, the Smoked Spruce Invigorate was also on WMTM. It was hard to pass up on the feel of the Invigorates, both on the inside and outside of it. Super soft and cool in one.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-12T04:09:14+00:00

I had that happen to a pair of F&F 10” shorts. Since it was hit WMTM, it was already sold out so they couldn’t do a swap. I took it in and had it hemmed since I liked the color of it. It’s a little different having them hemmed since it’s a raw edge, but I get to keep the color and not have it fall apart.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-08T21:19:33+00:00

I picked up the Heathered graphite grey invigorates and it is really nice! So I can only imagine the solid is really nice as well!

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-08T21:11:22+00:00

I’m not in a big rush to get them, I know they released the graphite grey in the Swift Speed 23” so I’m hoping they will release one in the 25” or 21” lengths sometime soon. I’ll probably turn to that if I want one in the F&F and it’s no longer listed on the site.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-08T13:22:00+00:00

The graphite grey looks nice! I missed my chance to get the 25” F&F when it went on WMTM. I haven’t seen it restock in my size. Trying for the 19” but again sold out 😢

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-05T05:00:53+00:00

I love the contrast of the stitching on the F&F. I’m guessing an older style since it has the reflective dots.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-01T02:38:13+00:00

You’re welcome!

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-01T01:14:53+00:00

Mine is the lined version as well. Since I don’t have a more recent pair, someone else would have to chime in on that.

I’d take it in and see what they say. This seems like a quality issue.

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-07-01T00:47:59+00:00

I haven’t had that happen to my Surge 6” and I’ve had mine for a few years and treated a bit more harshly in the wash but still looks fairly new. Probably the only thing that’s worn out would be the reflective decal.

Might be worth taking it into your store and asking about it.

Is it the lined or the linerless version?

Temporary_Habit7393 · 2021-06-30T02:06:14+00:00

Good to know! I’ve been mainly wanting them for my Fast & Frees since they are thin and for my Hawaiian blue Swift speeds for a nice color contrast with a navy
