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.

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.

I love these shorts! Have 10+ pairs. I am curious why they don't offer in more colors, and when they do they sell out so fast. The 4" length is nearly impossible to find anywhere else.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

Cute shorts, and I love the length. They are slightly lower in the back to provide a little more coverage for the back of the legs which I appreciate. My only complaint is that because the pocket is zippered, they don't quite sit flat on the sides because of it.
