Looks great, size up

These are a great staple compressive short! The look is sleek, the inseam is a perfect length, and the reflective details are a nice touch. I ordered my usual XS (5'1" and 115lbs) and then got a small just in case. The XS was too tight on the waist, so I would size up from your usual size. The botto...m of the legs have grippers on the inside to keep the shorts in place. The back pocket does fit an iPhone and can still zip all the way closed.

No pockets fail!

I didn't read closely enough and got tricked by the photo of the side seam, there are no drop pockets. The back pocket would be ok for just a phone, but if you rely on drop pockets for lots of things, these won't work for you. Even when I wear a vest, I still like to put easy to access things in the...m. If no-pocket shorties are your thing, these are for you. Fabric and leg grips are nice, they stretch a ton but maybe run small. I wear a S in the Ace Skort but fit a M in these. I'll be sticking to my janji shorts for now, until Athleta decides to make a version with pockets.

I use this short for my runs! Great fitting short! But does run a bit smaller so I purchased the x-large but usually wear a large in Athleta.

Perfect on my petite body: 5'1", 102 lbs. These shorts do not ride up. Perfect for the courts or the yoga mat!

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

I sized up to fit comfortably around my thighs. Usually wear a small, but went to a medium for these shorts.The waist is a little big, but not enough to feel like I need to return them. They didn't ride up in the first leg-day workout I wore them for. #sweepstakes

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

These are just the right length as someone with bigger thighs (who's worried about chafing). Especially appreciate the non-slip lining on the inside, but am worried that it might irritate my skin over longer runs

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

Definitely ultra high rise, especially on a shortie like me, but I love the zipper pocket in the back and the legs are lined with little silicon dots to prevent ride up

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

I normally wear a small in Athleta skorts (I have 6). Leggings fit more snug so I bought a medium. They are great through the hip and thigh. However, the waist is tight and feels like a girdle. After a few hours of wear, they became aggravating. I am 5'5" and weigh 138.
