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.

These shorts are incredibly comfortable and are the perfect length. The strip of plastic at the bottom hem makes the shorts stay in place while I'm moving.

Granddaughter wears for dance, school and all other activities. The fit is comfortable, stretch is perfect and they " don't ride up".

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

Love these shorts! The grip at the bottom keeps them in place and they are buttery soft. I wore them on a 10 mile run and didn't have to adjust at all! I am a size medium in most brands and found these to fit just right. I generally wear a size 6 pant for reference.

Comments about Pacesetter Ultra High Rise 4"" Shortie

This is shorter than what I normally throw on for a workout, but it stays put and is super flattering. It's compressive and makes everything look smooth!

Not flattering

Submitted 15 days ago

By Crystal

From Undisclosed

Weight 140–150 lbs

Between the rise of the shorts and length, these just were not flattering. They have a band on the leg opening to help keep them in place but it ends up compressing the thigh and doesn't look right.
