New Favorite Running Shorts

I bought these in 3 colors because I loved the way they fit when I tried them on in the store. After running in them, I can tell you they do not disappoint. It's like they weren't even there. I am 5'5", 130 lbs and purchased the XS. I don't normally consider myself an XS, but that's what I seem to a...

Great fit, poor quality liner

I loved these shorts from the minute I put them on, however, the liner panty is made of fabric similar to pantyhose. On the 3rd wearing I had a hole. Too delicate.

These shorts have always been my favourite. I have 4 colours and I bought them a few years ago. I bought white one recently but not pleased at all. When I compared them with my previous shorts I realized that the quality decreased a lot. I can even say that the recent quality is TERRIBLE. Unfortunately you will lose your customers if you continue like this. Moreover who suggested to attach that stupid beige panty to white shorts? One of the worst design idea I have ever seen. Couldn't be worse than this. Please bring your previous quality back and work with normal designers!

This is my second pair. I love the fit of these shirts. They stay where I need them to stay and are the perfect length for all of my workouts. Whether running or in a group class, they provide the coverage I need while still providing freedom of movement.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

Perfect shorts for running or other workouts. They have enough room to move, with a good fit, and the mesh adds a nice cooling element/style. The zippered pocket is good for small items. These are my fave running shorts from Athleta. #sweepstakes

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

The Athleta Mesh Racer 4" short is my favorite mainly because it is MID RISE!! Thank you Athleta for offering something that isn't HIGH RISE! I can't be the only short waisted woman who shops at Athleta. I own 3 of these shorts and will buy more when more colors are offered. This Borealis color is very pretty. I bought size M for my hips which are the widest part of my body. There is more than enough room in the legs. These shorts wear and wash great.

I live in these shorts and wear them every single day. I have them in every color that has ever been offered. Please make them in more colors and patterns. They are the absolutely the best and most comfortable shorts that I own and are so flattering!
