Looks great, size up

These are a great staple compressive short! The look is sleek, the inseam is a perfect length, and the reflective details are a nice touch. I ordered my usual XS (5'1" and 115lbs) and then got a small just in case. The XS was too tight on the waist, so I would size up from your usual size. The botto...m of the legs have grippers on the inside to keep the shorts in place. The back pocket does fit an iPhone and can still zip all the way closed.

No pockets fail!

I didn't read closely enough and got tricked by the photo of the side seam, there are no drop pockets. The back pocket would be ok for just a phone, but if you rely on drop pockets for lots of things, these won't work for you. Even when I wear a vest, I still like to put easy to access things in the...m. If no-pocket shorties are your thing, these are for you. Fabric and leg grips are nice, they stretch a ton but maybe run small. I wear a S in the Ace Skort but fit a M in these. I'll be sticking to my janji shorts for now, until Athleta decides to make a version with pockets.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

Probably could have ordered my regular size. I was worried about how tight they would be in the stomach. The drawstring is great and I haven't had any chafing during my long runs.

Perfect Fit for soccer player legs

Submitted 8 days ago

By Ellie G

Height 5'5"

Weight 140–150 lbs

A lot of the previous reviews say the fit is weird. But for someone with thicker soccer player legs, they fit perfect. I'm 5'5" 140lbs size 6 and got a medium. They might not fit the best for a more slender person with little curves or thighs. But for those with thunder thighs they stay in place and don't ride up.

These ultra high-rise shorties are a game changer! Flattering, breathable, and perfectly snug without riding up — ideal for workouts or weekend strolls. A must have for summer wardrobes!

The little grippers keep these from riding up while working out and they have a little more room in the hips than the salivation stash which I love! I got a size small even though in leggings I'm usually an XS and they fit great
