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...

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.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

Love these shorts! The gripping seam keeps them in place for my entire workout. There is a tie in the waistband just in case but even the band did not roll down.

Ride Up

I read the other reviews which said these do not ride up - well, they did for me and are the worst for this out of any of the bike shorts I own! I don't understand why my experience is so different.

The grips at the bottom of the shorts are PERFECT for anyone who has muscular thighs. These shorts don't ride up.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

Just bought my third pair of these. These shorts are great for running. I'm training for a marathon and these are my preferred shorts. The material holds up to sweat and I don't have issues with chaffing or the shorts rolling up. I sized up after reading reviews and the fit isn't too loose. I could probably go either way on ordering my normal size for a tighter fit or ordering up a size for a comfortable fit

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

These are very comfortable, great for running, and very flattering! I would say that they run slightly large. Not enough for me to return them, but I do think I could have sized down, so keep that in mind! They have grip on the legs to help keep them in place. I find they still ride up but not a crazy amount.

Great length. Theit transparent tape on the leg and continuous drawstring both work to make sure there no rolling top or bottom. Nice soft fabric.
