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.

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!

Are the shorts ok? Yes. But if you have been a fan of Athleta for years and not new to the game, you'll be able to tell the difference. Athleta keeps cheapening their cult favorites and it's so disappointing. I purchased the borialis color and they nothing like my colors purchased from last year. Different fit, material, just not as good. It stinks when you have to find a different short other than the ones you've been wearing for years!

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

This is my favorite work out and hot weather walking short. I appreciate the lining and the loose comfortable fit. I also appreciate the length - not too short and blousy like some running shorts. I am 5'4" 127 lbs and the small fits me great.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

This is a 5 star rated short that I live in for my activities of long distance walking, HIIT and daily fitness gym classes . I have a pair in every color. Really depend on the deep side pocket for storage. My legs get claustrophobic in tights for indoor classes , so the shorts are perfect for the fitness lifestyle I enjoy.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

These are absolutely my favorite shorts. The fit is comfortable and they don't ride way up my thighs when sitting like most other shorts.
