    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!

    I used to not love the transcend because of the non compression, but now I love them! And these shorts keep coming in cute colors. I've learned to go down a size in these compared to the other leggings with compression. Great length for summer also

    Cute short - love the color, however due to how buttery soft they are, the material likes to ride up. Otherwise I really like them!

    Super cute shorts I love the look but not good for working out in, even if I wanted to lift in them I do a warm up run before and they rolled up so badly on my legs. Will be wearing only for walking or errands but probably not to work out in again.

    These are the perfect bike shorts! I love the 5" inseam and the material is so soft and buttery. I sized up one from my normal because I was concerned the thigh would be tight but could've taken my normal size.

    Comments about Transcend High Rise 5"" Short

    LOVE the feel. Buttery and light and extremely comfy. No issues for me with rolling or needing to be pulled down at all. I would say these are very much like Aligns from another brand. I wear an XS in EVERY type of bottom from Athleta, but they only had this color in S, so I tried it on and they fit me fine too. This color is beautiful. Reason for taking off a star is how quickly and badly these show sweat! I knew they would show some, as any 'color' typically will—but these show it bad! I can't imagine how bad the lighter colors would be. My light color aligns do not show the sweat as bad as these…but I'd say I like the look and feel of these better. #sweepstakes

    Buttery soft shorts. They tuck your tummy in. I wear them running and I have no issues with them riding up or down. Small pocket inside for key storage. #sweepstakes

    Love these shorts for working out. They are soft and lightweight. I do miss not having a pocket though.
