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.

Just OK. They are sculpting but too much stitching.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

i really wanted to like these since the 4" inseam is exactly what i was looking for, not too short or too long. but the sizing just didn't quite work out for me. in leggings and bike shorts i normally wear a small or medium depending on compression, so i went with a medium here. it fit fine (if not slightly tight) in the thighs but the waist was too big even with the drawstring pulled tightly. there's no way a small would work unless i wanted my thighs to look like sausage casings, so if you have bigger thighs, i'd say to avoid this style. #sweepstakes

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

This short is so cute! I love the mint color. I would recommend sizing up. I'm usually a small in athleta bottoms, but I have a size small in the pacesetter leggings, and those are way too tight. I sized up to a medium in these shorts and I'm so glad I did! They're perfect #sweepstakes
