Please bring these back!!!

I have been wearing these shorts since they first released them. For me, they are perfect! I have larger thighs, so they aren't too tight and the high rise of the shorts is spot on! It hides my stomach (which is def a problem area for me) and I love that I can wear a cropped shirt or a longer shi...

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...

I have been wearing these shorts since they first released them. For me, they are perfect! I have larger thighs, so they aren't too tight and the high rise of the shorts is spot on! It hides my stomach (which is def a problem area for me) and I love that I can wear a cropped shirt or a longer shirt with them and both look good. They definitely aren't for everyone as my daughter who is built with leaner legs and less curves than me did not love them. But if you are curvy, these are definitely shorts I recommend. I'm 5'5" 150lbs and a medium. I am begging Athleta to bring these shorts back because they are wonderful as you can see from the many positive reviews!

Comments about Mesh Racer Run High Rise 3"" Short

Lightweight and comfortable material. Nice lines. It is a tad unflattering for my apron belly but a longer shirt will fix that. Weekender High Rise 3" is more flattering.

These shorts are the perfect length, comfortable fit and washes well. I need to buy more in other colors.

Mesh area a bit odd-buckles out a bit as well as the back pocket area.

Don't buy as they can't be returned. I ordered an extra small and it is equivalent to a large. I own these shorts in a different colour so I am pretty confident about the size.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run High Rise 3"" Short

I love these shorts . The fabric is extremely lightweight and feels almost silky, which keeps me cool during runs. They run true to size for me. I'd highly recommend these if you want something breathable and flattering.

Love these shorts for running, workouts, or every day wear! I have several pairs but recently got the high waisted ones and they fit perfectly! #sweepstakes
