Track That 3” (6) vs BMJL Amazon Dupe Comparison (M)

Please see my fit comparisons of my love red 3" track thats size 6 (original fit, not the newer fit that is running smaller with recent releases) and a size medium of the Amazon dupes here: https://www.amazon.com/BMJL-Running-Elastic-Waisted-Athletic/dp/B08TML1GGD

Thanks to u/Excellent-Adeptness8 for sharing these Track That 3" dupes from Amazon.

In the original track that 3" shorts I am a 6, however in the newer versions (such as pale raspberry, and probably smoked spruce which I did not try) I thought they ran too small in my usual 6. I ordered a medium in the Amazon dupes and they fit just a little bigger than my older track thats, almost like a 7. I did not try a small as reviews said they run small and I'd rather my shorts be a little loose than tight.

The dupes are the color "SummerRed" in medium, I also have the color "Purple" which are a nice light lilac purple shade. I returned the "Hot Pink" as they ran even looser but this is a great shade of neon pink. I think colors/sizing are a bit inconsistent in the dupes so check reviews/pictures and luckily you can always return. They also go on lightning deal pretty often for ~$20 instead of the usual $25. The inseam is about 2.5" but I believe there's a chart in the listing. Overall I find them slightly more modest than the track thats but that could be because the mediums are just a little bigger.

Overall the dupes feel a bit "cheaper" as they wrinkle pretty easily and are a bit heavier than my track thats. The liner especially feels thicker and more cheaply made, probably less breathable for working out. The fit is a bit looser and the zipper is obviously cheaper but other than that, they are a GREAT dupe for track thats, especially now that the Lulu sizing/fit seems to be all messed up. The style of the shorts is spot on, the only real obvious difference is the zipper. I would say the dupes are also a slightly higher rise, as they completely cover my belly button. No bunching in the back for me at all.

If the original track thats are a 5/5, I would say the dupes are a 4.5/5 for me. But since I can get 3 for the price of 1, I really can't complain. Track thats are my favorite short but if they sizing continues to be inconsistent I don't think I'll be ordering more.

Also I'm assuming these are being drop shipped so if anyone finds a cheaper version of these shorts on AliExpress or similar sites please drop the link!
