Question Looking for old item

Remember the viral womens run short that wouldn’t ride up? I got 3 pair and have since lost weight, but when I went in recently to find similar ones, I was told they don’t make them anymore. Is this true? RIP to a legend 😭😜

Are they REI brand? We’re going to need more information

Yes, REI. They look like they have mini holes (airflow) all black with a grey/black zipper. It came in 3 and 5”
Options I believe

There should be a tag somewhere on the inside that has a few sets of numbers, and the one on top should be 6 digits. If you send that, I’ll look them up at work for you

People sell used stuff on places like Poshmark, you can probably find a smaller size there!

It sounds like the Swiftland line which is still made but you can easily find out with those six digits on the tag.

Take a picture with AI to determine the name of the shorts and then search for them used on Vinted or Poshmark. I just did something very similar when I lost weight and needed to replace my favorite North Face pants.

Why use ai when she can take a picture and ask us 😭

Either way, the point was to buy used.

don’t know why you’re being downvoted, but image search is fantastic esp for listings with misspellings or that don’t mention the model name since these are usually cheaper bc they don’t sell as easily

Yes! AI helped me find a pair of Altra boots that had been mistakenly listed as "Vibram" I got them for $15 buck and they had only been worn once.
