I also made a point to try on the Bright At Night shorts since I noticed a lot of people running in them at the Disneyland Half Marathon. They are fairly new so to have such a noticeable presence must mean they are pretty good. I really liked them. I have a bedonkadonk rear and larger thighs and these were the lulu run shorts that fit me the best. I noticed a lot of women who ran in them at Disney had more athletic thighs so I was hoping they would work for me. I'm not quite ready to run in shorts this short yet but I'm hoping to get there by next summer. If the Speeds and Turbos have not worked for you definitely check out the Bright At Nights. They get good reviews on the website.
I ended up buying a pair of Bordeaux Drama Studio Crops. I thought these fit a little more relaxed in the waist than the Wren and Black ones I already own. I laid them on top of the Wren ones when I got home because I was convinced they were bigger. They weren't so I think the looser feeling was due to the waistband material being stretchier. Anyway, I think I am going to sell my Wren DSCs because I have more tops that will go with the Bordeaux.
I saw the Gust Buster vest when I was at the store. They only had a couple so I think they got an incomplete shipment. The fleece was kind of weird - like thick felt and not what I think of as fleece. The largest size they had was a six so I didn't bother trying it on. I think it's kind of pricey for $98 and I felt no lust to own it.
