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...

It's true to size, fabric is sturdy yet soft, and the extra length is perfect

Comments about Elation Ultra High Rise 9"" Short

These shorts are buttery soft. I would say they have a medium compression and I usually like a bit more but these are very comfortable. The high rise is nice. Best of all is the 9" length. I looked around and could only find this length at Athleta. Way to go! I have worn them to run outside in the heat and the are great.

I love these shorts. I bought these as Athleta no longer sells the 9" in salutation stash. I love these even more! I am not in my 20s (or even 30s, 40s) anymore. I want longer shorts or I am not comfortable in the park, neighborhood, etc. These really are buttery soft. They are sleek and fit true to size. For reference, I am 5' 8" and 127 lbs and a small fit perfect. I hope Athleta keeps selling 9" shorts and would love to see a Navy.

no pocket-why did athleta stop making the 9" stash pocket?

I accidentally bought these elation shorts, thinking they had a stash pocket. They do not. athleta used to offer a 9" stash pocket short but doesn't anymore. Shorts with a stash pocket are far superior and athleta should consider that not everyone likes short shorts and BRING BACK THE 9" STASH POCKET SHORT. The 9" shorts are more comfortable and offer better coverage in the sun.

Comfortable and get for tall women with long legs!

Almost perfect shorts especially if you are tall and have long legs! Alittle on the thick side but super comfortable. I wish they would make more color options!

Love the longer bike short for workouts

This is my second pair and love them for working out! As a pear-shaped, middle-aged athletic girl I like work out shorts that stay put, have full coverage and suit my age- these fit the bill.

no side pockets and back pocket is useless. cannot fit your

Really did not like these shorts. Bought them for running- only ones i have found that were long enough! ( not everyone should wear 4 or 5" shorts! Really!!). So disappointed when i wore them. Fabric not good for outdoor sports either. Fortunatley i was able to return them. Wish Athleta would come out with longer running shorts with pockets!

appropriate for more mature women

Wish the 9" inseam was available on more than black. I would live in them and feel comfortable running errands. 7" is out of the question. I am 5' tall, 90 pounds and in my 70s

Perfect length for running. I'm usually a size large in the full length version but sized down for these and glad I did. The medium fits perfect and doesn't ride up. #sweepstakes
