Comfortable, supportive shorts that don't ride up!

Curvy ladies, rejoice! The 9" Elation shorts are versatile, good quality shorts that don't ride up when walking!! I find it so difficult to find shorts that don't ride up when walking or running and after a few trials of both activities I haven't had issue with these. I ended up buying a second pair...

Great length, material prone to pilling

I own so many pairs of the ultra high rise elation 7/8 pants, and saying they have pilling problems is an understatement (which is the reason for the 3 stars, these are the exact same material). But they are worth it because I am tall and an 'ultra high rise' is a normal rise on me which is really h...

Everyone wants 9" shorts with side pockets—Athleta, why did you stop making them when it's clear your customers want them??? It's forced me to look elsewhere for running shorts; won't be buying them from Athleta anymore until you bring back this no-brainer favorite.

Good style

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 9"" Short

Okay, but I did not like the extremely high waist. True to size, and nice fabric. Would be better with pockets on the sides, like previous versions of the 9" shorts. Returned them.

Love the length

I own 4 pair of these shorts purchased last year and love them. I decided to purchase one more pair recently since they were on sale. The fabric is not nearly as soft - cheap feeling - and shorts are far more snug, like I purchased one size too small. Comparing the labels - my other 4 pair are made in Vietnam and the newest shorts are made in Mexico. Hoping that the company has not sacrificed quality by selling out to the lowest bidder. Will be returning and hoping for better next time.

Love these

I like the length and feel of material, I would rather have pockets on the sides instead of the back of the waistband.
