    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.

    Love the material & airy feel when exercising. The waist sits above hips but below belly button on me, not used to the lower fit but when exercising this pair is comfy. Personally like higher waists . I kept the shorts because of the comfort & great for running on the beach on hot mornings. Ordered medium in white. Not see through with the built in panty. I'm 5'4" fit 60's female at 140-150 lbs. Looks nice with a long Tee.

    My daughter lives in these shorts. From gym/sports (lacrosse, gymnastics, daily workouts) to school and lazy days- these are her favorite!

    Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

    These are my favorite shorts! They are the ones I always reach for first. I have them in several colors - some from past seasons. I like the fit and the length and the fabric is very cool and durable. I appreciate the side pocket - it holds my phone or my keys. My kids play summer baseball and these are part of my regular rotation. I'd recommend. #sweepstakes

    Shorts feel great on. They don't ride up while doing an activity. They do seem to fit a bit big but overall, a great purchase.
