Introducing our Limited Edition SPACE SHORTS. We really meant it when we said eyes on the thighs. These highly reflective shorts are cut like our popular Classic Shorts which means they taper the thighs and the inseam is about 3.5″.The shorts themselves are a gray/dark purple when no light is on them (swipe to see images). As more light is reflected, the shorts will grow brighter and brighter creating the Space Shorts effect. The three images show full light, moderate light and no light.These are a highly Limited Edition item. Keep in mind one difference is that these shorts have an extra reinforced inside black lining (as the reflective material is thin). They are thicker than our Classic Shorts but also come with zippers!In general the recommendation is the following:Whatever short size you typically wear, go with that size if you want the authentic classic shorts experience, these are more tapered and also a little shorter (as you can see, above the knee to show off the quads). If you’ve bought our shorts before, unless they were quite tight, stick to the same size. If they WERE tight, go a size bigger. If you are more conservative and don’t want your sculpted thighs showing, size up.
