comfy, durable, well made

My daughter originally used these for gymnastics and they're her favorite short to wear at practice and everywhere else. She claims she gets less wedgies with them. She can wear out a pair of shorts pretty quickly but these ones don't pill as easily as the Nike pro shorts. Ever since getting these...

Latest pair not as soft and stretchy as previous pairs

My granddaughter loved the XS chitchat shorts she received in June 2023. The S pair I ordered in August are noticeably less stretchy. The material is not as comfortable and she finds them uncomfortably tight. Perhaps the "shine" version is different from the other pair? If that's the reason, Athleta...

I have been buying Athleta shorts and bra tops for my daughter a couple of years now for dance and she loves them. The clothing is very well made and fit pretty true to size.

My daughter originally used these for gymnastics and they're her favorite short to wear at practice and everywhere else. She claims she gets less wedgies with them. She can wear out a pair of shorts pretty quickly but these ones don't pill as easily as the Nike pro shorts. Ever since getting these she has also decided she doesn't want jean shorts anymore so I bought a few more pairs when they were on sale so she can wear them during the day and at practice. The size is consistent with the same type leggings/ flare pants. I normally line dry these but I've accidentally tossed them in the dryer with other clothes and they didn't shrink which was a plus.

Comments about Athleta Girl Chit Chat 3"" Short

These spandex shorts are an absolute game-changer! We bought these for volleyball as we wanted something appropriate without being so revealing (hate how short "volleyball" shorts are for girls). From the moment my daughter put them on, we knew we had found the perfect pair. The fit is perfect without being restrictive, offering just the right amount of compression to support movement without riding up or shifting during play. The fabric is soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking — ideal for long practices and heated matches. Even after hours of wear, they stay dry and comfortable, and they don't lose their shape after multiple washes. The stitching is strong and smooth, so there's no uncomfortable chafing or irritation. We also love the flattering cut — they're form-fitting but still modest, and the waistband stays in place no matter how much she moves. They're clearly designed with athletes in mind. Whether you're playing competitively or just for fun, these shorts check every box. Stylish, durable, and incredibly comfortable — they're everything you want in volleyball spandex. Highly recommend!
