New Favorite Shorts

I got the black in high rise and abstract navy in the mid rise. I LOVE both pairs! Neither of these colors are see through. I did do a shorter run with my phone in the back pocket, and that worked well! I think I could put 2 gels in there as well as one in the little zipper pocket in one of the fron...t pockets. These shorts are great for shorter to middle distance runs and are so comfy! The fit is very flattering! I love both fits but lean towards the high rise one for lounging…mid rise one for running. It is very rare to find flowy shorts for running that have enough storage for fuel on the run. The front pockets are great for errands and every day wear. Overall, I can't wait to see more colors of these! Big fan!

This run collection was all I was waiting for. A long wait for us runners to feel the undistracted attention to final revamp a new line. The anticipation had me drooling about new designs in shorts and the all new mower move material. I was like… LET'S GO in my best Lil John voice. As soon as they ...hit the floor and I tried them on I was like "YEAH" also in Lil John voice. Checked all the boxes of light, featherweight stretch✅ Amazing colors and prints ✅ pocket gear/goo ✅ SOLD. 3 purchased colors. 2 high waist and one mid rise. So , test run commence. The shorts folded up under on my left leg my entire run. I did this run 3x this week to be sure it wasn't just a fluke. The pockets should be a zipper to keep the flapping minimal and the slit is restricted to allow the free flow during every stride. My love for this shirt was squashed within the first mile. BUT… a great short for your weekend errand "run" move this to travel not run performance. Go with the Fast Route short, it's amazin

Comments about Weekender High Rise 3"" Run Short

Great high waisted fit. Lightweight and not too short. Stays in place- no running up in between thighs for us curvy gals. Inside pocket zip holds phone or keys. TTS. #sweepstakes

I was so excited for this set after trying on the orange in store! Sadly the light green was COMPLETELY see through and I was so disappointed :( still a great coverage short so I will probably trade in for darker color

Size up for flattering look

I likes the high rise, more squared-off look of these shorts as compared to other ones I have that are midrise and rounded on the legs. I feel like these flatter a more athletic figure. The high rise allows for wearing of shorter tops. I ordered M first because that's the size I wear in bottoms at Athleta but found that they were too tight across my hips/thighs. For the more flattering look, I exchanged for a L and I like these more. A lot of reviews state "true to size" but I actually think sizing up gives more room for curvier hips and legs!

THE Most Excellent Shorts

I used to be devoted to Athleta's Mesh Run shorts exclusively for fitness and recreation. But when I ordered new ones this year, I didn't like the fit as much as I did. Even though they are same length, I just feel that the Weekender shorts, with the higher rise are more comfortable and provide the coverage that I prefer. AND they have pockets, plus a zippered pocket!

The shorts are great but the lime green is totally see through!! Who makes running shorts that are see through?? You can totally see the pocket linings, and underwear color too.

bring back the high rise mesh racer run!

i hate these shorts. athleta seems to have abandoned the high rise mesh racer run - which fit me perfectly and were SO comfy - in favor of these, which aren't a decent replacement at all. I couldn't find a size that really worked - the inner brief is so much smaller compared to the overshort, and it's seams dig in and are very uncomfortable. the over short is baggy and huge and unflattering. the high rise isn't as high as the MRR. very disappointed in these.
