Poor Fit/Design/ Construction/Material
"The material of the Men’s Shorts is such poor quality, definitely feels cheap, and doesn’t feel good against the skin especially with the swimming short like exterior material and the mesh swimming shorts interior. If you cut out the interior mesh to think that it will be more comfortable it will not, It’s just poor construction and for quality materials that you don’t want right against your skin. There is no moisture which or anti-odor ions as seen with other actual performance/ premium active wear on the market. The fabric doesn’t even match the shirts in the Sport Collection, the image on the website is deceiving. The shorts and the shirt are completely different colors of black - the shirt is a black with more of a deep purple hue when see in the sunlight or under normal light conditions, with the shorts being a more “almost” true black. Why wouldn’t there be a short and a shirt that can’t be seamlessly worn together without looking miss matched, definitely needs a quality/color check? -Second Left get some XS/S/M/L/XL etc. . fit models and actual put this material to the test, and put all of your clothes on them, the current fit isn’t versatile and is disproportionately ill fitting, and when worn over you with your Sport Tee they are two different lengths regardless of them being the same size. I have a Medium in the shorts and they don’t fit 32” waist - the definitely run big, which again shows the lack of fit model fitting quality by Second Left. -Why is the draw sting sooo long - really what are we typing bows on animals right at the waist to make a big bulge in the front of these shorts, design flaw. The website image in this instance is accurate the draw string is almost down to his knees. When tied is still uncomfortable especially when doing any movements with weigh on the hip crease. - Achieving an optimal fit is crucial in activewear to ensure both comfort and performance. However, Second Left’s offerings appear to lack the meticulous tailoring found in higher-end brands. The absence of detailed information on their approach to fit raises concerns. -While Second Left aims to draw inspiration from international luxury athleisure trends, the brand’s designs lack the innovation and distinctiveness seen in competitors. The styles are relatively generic, failing to offer unique aesthetic elements that would set them apart in a crowded market. Brands like Gymshark and Lululemon consistently introduce fresh designs and color palettes, keeping their offerings both trendy and functional. -While Second Left endeavors to establish itself in the premium athleisure market, the current evaluation of material quality, fit, style, and construction does not align with the standards set by established competitors. To justify their pricing, significant enhancements in fabric innovation, design precision, construction techniques, and operational transparency are imperative. Until such improvements are realized, consumers seeking reliable quality and value may find more satisfaction with other reputable brands in the market. -Second Left lacks transparency regarding fabric sourcing, technological innovations, and manufacturing processes, making it challenging to substantiate their premium pricing."
