PERFORMS WELL!

My first pair of "bike shorts" since the 80s LOL! ... and these are very soft, comfortable and have just enough compression! The legs creep upward just a little but not as much as other "booty shorts" I've trained in; I'd say overall they stay in place really well. I lift weights in these and they o...ffer the kind of comfort and performance that I'm looking for. Wish they'd had other colors, but basic black is a good place to start, so I probably would have opted for black anyway : ) Also, I would go up a size from whatever you typically purchase in Athleta leggings. I tried my normal size, but the shorts cut into my athletic legs in a way that I didn't love, so I sized up.

Great for lounge, not activity

Super cute and fit great. I like the thin material but it still feels high quality. I feel like they are flattering even though I do not have a flat stomach. Unfortunately though, these do ride up/roll so I found myself pulling them down every few steps during my walk to class. I did not bother to w...orkout in them just to make the return process easier. Not for me, but some may like!

Great Shorts, not perfect

Comments about Transcend High Rise 5"" Short

Love the length, waistband is great, fabric is good. The only issues is the seam digs a bit around the legs and going up a size means they won't fit great everywhere else. I do not have thick legs.

Comments about Transcend High Rise 5"" Short

I haven't washed them yet, but in terms of wear, they are so comfy and I already had a girl in a pilates class come up and ask where I got them. I love the brown color and they don't go see-thru. No squeezing around the thighs or waist. Very soft. I'm not sure they're ideal for weight lifting or running, but for pilates and yoga (especially in the summer), they're ideal. Just wish they offered more colors!

Super soft and comfortable. Love the little inside key pocket. Sizing could be better. I needed the xs for my waist and more snug fit but the stitching on the leg was too tight...it created an unattractive bulge. Kept the small and wear them every time they're washed!

Best fabric!

The fabric is perfect! It is comfortable and light weight enough to where it does not squeeze my legs and make them look like they are tight or bulging out. The shorts stay in place and are the perfect combination of support and softness. The 5 inch length is good so it goes past the cellulite on the bum area. After buying my first pair I came back bought more colors!

The fit was very nice, no gap at the waist line and has not pulled after washing:
