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

I'm 5'2' and 135lbs and got a medium. It's still a bit tight (I'm mid-section heavy). It didn't squish my thighs. I'm glad I went with a medium.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

These are great shorts, full coverage, no riding up and the waist band is nice and supportive and fits an iphone in the pocket. I have these in both colors and will probably get more.

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

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.
