I have athletic/muscular legs, so I need a pair of shorts to fit a certain way/be a certain minimum length in order for them not to ride up constantly when I walk (for example, the 4" running shorts don't work for me, and neither, unfortunately, do any of the skorts--with their 4" liner). Wayfind s...horts are sooooooo comfortable, and don't ride up AT ALL when I walk. BTW, I am 5'6" and 120 lbs, so it isn't a "weight" issue, it is very literally a "shape" issue. I wish that Athleta had more shorts choices for women with muscular legs. These are the only shorts I was able to buy from Athleta in the past two years, because they're the only ones that work for my body. I find the material perfect, as well. They are cool and comfortable--even in the heat and high humidity. They hold up amazingly well to hiking, gardening, etc., and look cute doing it. I have bought every new color they have come out in, and will probably continue to do so. That said, I am sad they didn't have any khaki colored Wayfind shorts this year, and I sincerely hope they will have them next year.
I purchased this style in 2024 and 2025, the fabric, length, color and design in 2024 are my favorite. 2025's version has been shortened and fabric feels so thin and flimsy. But since I love the color so i decided to keep it. I was so happy to see this beautiful blue color this year, but ended up r...eturning it after trying it on. It's so baggy and long, the fabric feels cheap. It is so frustrating that I have to return it. Please bring back the 2024 version with the grid fabric, it is stretchy while holding the shape. Overall I've been disappointed this year in your design, I can barely find anything stylish, flattering and functional.

I bought 3 pairs of these shorts for our family beach vacation with the intention of wearing them for biking and exercise. They were nice looking enough to wear shopping and to casual lunches! Perfect length and breathable. The only shorts I will pack from now on!

Loved the waist band, but then it went bad from there. These are super full and unflattering on. I had to check to make sure I didn't receive the wrong size.

Great mom shorts! The length is perfect. I like the 3 inch for running and working out, but the 5inch length is great for going out or being out with the kids at their sports activities. They are modest, comfy and cute. I like the placement of the pockets. I have to always get an XXS in shorts with Athleta, even though with leggings I do an XS. The shorts seem to run a little bit bigger. I am 5'4" 110 pounds for reference and the XXS is great, even with my long legs.

Get these!! I'm in love with the lightweight fabric, pockets, zipper pocket and 5" length of these shorts. Comfortable wide waistband doesn't dig or itch. I'm uber picky and will pick these again and again. I'm 5'5" and 127#, athletic build. XS is perfect! Not a frumpy length and versatile for athletic or casual wear.

These shorts fit great and are incredibly comfortable. The high-rise waist is flattering and stays in place, and the 5-inch inseam is the perfect length for me. They're versatile enough for hiking, walking, or just wearing around town. Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to move in—I find myself reaching for them again and again.

comfortable for sure! I have bigger hips and a smaller waist, so sits up pretty high. Wore them for pickleball, great pockets and super easy to move in!
