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.

These shorts are such a good fit and great quality. I had a pair for a few years which are in great shape. They use to have more color choices and I had a some other colors but the size is now too big. They are the perfect length and so good for any kind of work out from running to weight lifting. Bring back MORE COLOR OPTIONS!

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

These are soo flattering! Even on my chubby behind! I love the fabric - so lightweight and comfy. I was so pleasantly surprised I loved these so much, I went back to the website to check if there are other colors - must have them all… sadly only white. Would love a neon green and pink in these. I will have to get another black, just in case I completely wear these out cuz so far… I am living in these!

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

These are so comfortable, they fit above my belly button, they do not bunch in the center of them. The material is moisture wicking and quality is perfect.
