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.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

good run shorts. size down if you are using the size chart.white is not see through with a nude color liner. like the fact pocket is a bit larger than the comparable Lululemon's shorts. good value if you can get them on sale.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

The detail of the sheer panel at the hem adds a little personality to a pair of plain black shorts. The length and fit is great. Overall, these shorts are a nice addition to a world of plain, boring shorts.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4 Short

I love the mid rise of these Mesh Racer Run shorts because I am short waisted. I miss mid rise being easy to find! I wanted white run shorts and this pair is a good fit. I would like it if they were an inch longer - 5" instead of 4". But they're cute and comfortable and have a nice zipper pocket. I bought a size M. I go between S & M in Athleta bottoms.

I normally find an Athleta medium to run a bit big.If you have a curvy figure (nor necessarily plus), you may need to go up a size. These were too tight in the butt.
