Love These!!

Initially I wasn't convinced I'd like these shorts. I usually wear a size XXS in all Athleta tights, but these felt pretty tight. However, while the XS felt more comfortable, there's no drawstring. I figured they might fall down a bit while running. So, I opted for the XXS, and honestly, they were p...erfect for running. The side pocket easily fit my iPhone, the other pocket my keys, and I went for a 7 mi run w/o these moving. The shorts have tiny plastic pieces that keep the shorts in place and waistband was snug but not uncomfortable. These performed beautifully.

Lots of extra material

Ordered these in green and when they arrived I thought they were adorable! Fun colors and Inloked the look of the waisteband. Unfortunately after trying them on, they just do not work. There is so much extra material over the spandex shorts. I don't think sizing down would help. I usually order medi...um shorts from athleta (small in tights, size 4-6 in pants) but these had SO much extra material and were just nit flattering at all. I was hoping to wear them as an alternative to a tennis skirt but they were returned.These are a great concept, but were executed poorly.

I was hesitating to order them first! Buuut I just got them and so happy with my purchase. They are very comfortable, lightweight. I am 5.3 (127lb)and they ate the perfect length. Not giving you bulky look. Also I ordered size Small , but gonna get in red one size XS for sure.

It bunches weird in the back, but that could just be because I'm overweight. I didn't like the fit.

SO MUCH FABRIC

These are somewhat comfortable for the bike short part but there is so much extra fabric for the top part it definitely gives diaper vibes. If your goal is to make your butt look double the size these are the shorts for you. Please bring back the run with it short!!

Not My Favorite

Comments about Crossover High Rise 4"" Run Short

I am not a fan of biker shorts, but thought I would give these a try just to step out of my comfort zone-especially since these shorts have a layer on top of the biker shorts. They fit a little strange, and are not as comfortable as other Athleta shorts (probably a personal preference). They are lightweight and I love the color.
