Exactly what I wanted - but wow what a tight waistband!

I needed shorts that would stop the summer thigh chafing but keep me as cool as possible. None of my Featherweight Stretch or running shorts were standing up to the heat of this summer, they were riding up & sticking to my legs which allowed chafing. These are tight, don't roll (legs & waistband), a...nd protect my skin. The 7" inseam is perfect! I only buy synthetics that are recycled and I wash them in my Guppyfriend Bag to prevent plastic microfibers from entering waterways. Typically this rules out the whole Elation line because that is primarily Powervita, which is just polyester/nylon. So glad to see pockets of sustainability here and there in the yoga/Elation line. The rib material is super cute and the anthracite grey is just neutral enough with some interest. I would love a matching bra! Usually I go for the Ultimate line with the side hip pockets, but I prefer the ultra high rise options in the yoga line. This feels much more like my other ultra highs than high rise. I was surprised to find that the back waistband pocket is super functional and holds a phone, keys, and dogs bags comfortably. Now for the downside - I have been a super consistent XXS in Athleta for over ten years. This is the tightest waistband I have EVER encountered! Too tight to be comfortable when lounging or eating, at least at first. I am on my fourth wash/wear with them and now they are finally getting comfy. I would much rather have them start out too tight and loosen over time than start out right and get too loose, but wow. I have to put them on strategically - pull the whole thing over my knees and partway up my thighs before pulling them over my hips. I am thicker than usual right now but I got another XXS bottom in the same order and no issues. All in all, definitely a buy. But only if you have the patience to break them in. Normally I wouldn't advise sizing up in Athleta because that compromises performance over time, but this may be the exception if you are between sizes

Not what I expected..

They look way longer in the photos, I don't believe these are a true 7" inseam. "Ultra" high rise is just not true. They are a regular high rise at best. They are incredibly soft and the material is very nice. I feel supported in them. But I'd say size up or refer the the size chart. I am a true XL ...and I ordered a 1X according to my measurements. I'm glad I did. I wouldn't have been comfortable in an XL and they would have been way too tight at the leg opening. I thought I was splurging on an elite pair of bike shorts, but I'll stick with my usuals.

Great fit workout short. Love the length. I have several pairs. I did size up to a M in the shorts. I wear a S in the Elation tights. The S was too tight in the legs, the M fits nicely.

These are great! I'm 5'10, 135 pounds, bought a small. I love the high waist, it really stays up. The legs ride up with activity as expected, but the 7" inseam makes it to where I'm not that bothered by it. I wish these were available in more bright colors.
