Finally!

It took me a minute to find my size in these but once I did, I'm very happy with them. I have the mid-rise version of these shorts in a medium (and most of my leggings are a medium), and felt like I was between a medium and large in these because I'm a little thicker in the middle and the thicker wa...

Fit is off

I exclusively buy Athleta clothes for my workouts. They hold up incredibly well and usually have a flattering fit. The Mesh Racer being my favorite short. This new version is not flattering at all though. The waste-band is terribly high and bulky! I'm a petite woman-4'11 about 115 lbs, athletic buil...

Comments about Mesh Racer Run High Rise 3"" Short

#sweepstakes. Probably my least favorite Athleta running shorts but I liked the colors offered (aqua). I prefer Fast Route or Speed work. That being said they are ok for running, little long and the liner does not fit as good as other styles, occasionally rides up.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run High Rise 3"" Short

Thought I was ordering the regular mesh racer run shorts but these are the high rise version. They fit basically the same just an extra inch higher on the waist which I definitely don't need since I'm short waisted. They're still wearable though. Length doesn't seem much different than 4 inch version.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run High Rise 3"" Short

I love these shorts! The fabric is perfect to wick away sweat for workouts. They are supportive and have a small pocket for a key. I love this color and bought many pieces of clothing in this color this year. I bouhgt 3 pairs: one for me and 1 for each of my daughters.

I tried these because of the amazing sale. Was worried they would be too short but they are not (most of my shorts are 4") I'm not usually a fan of high waisted shorts but they are comfortable. 5'4 125 xs

I have several pairs of mesh racer run shorts. They're my favorite for running. They run a little big IMO, but are very comfortable. Side pocket fits iPhone.

Super comfortable shorts that aren't too short. The high waist hits high enough to cover my belly button.
