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...

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...

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

These shorts are lightweight but, breathable, flattering, and (mostly) stay in place. I just wish there was a 5" inseam option for more coverage!

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

Bought these for my petite daughter. She is a runner and likes shorties for running. She has strong thighs, but is usually XS or S. She decided to try the small because she'd rather have them a little lose than tight. The small felt a little tight at first. She wore them a couple of times and likes them now, but not her favorite. She does not put them in the dryer, air dry only because she is afraid they will shrink. Overall good shorts , they just run small in her opinion.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

Has silicon grip on the seams so it does not ride up. Perfect for long distance running as it prevent chafing. Only has back pocket and a small front pocket, and not a side pocket for the phone. But overall, it is great and would recommend for long distance runners.

Athleta- please stock more in black 4inch small. These shorts are insanely comfortable and fit great. Love the way they look. Perfect for high intensity exercise and squats.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

I recently just discovered these shorts and I am in love! The grip in the bottom lining of the shorts prevents them from riding up which is so important during running. I'm in between sizes right now so I opted to go with the medium for a more comfortable looser fit.
