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...lign to in Athleta running shorts.

Most Liked Negative Review

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

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.

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.

These are my favorite athletic shorts. I like where they sit on the hips, and the placement of the zipper pocket. PLEASE BRING BACK MORE COLORS! I've been waiting fall/winter colors to order more.

I wore these for Hyrox and they were great! No riding up, good coverage, pocket for my gels. Did all of the runs and movements comfortably.
