    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...istband was a tad more constricting. Ended up going with the large and utilizing the drawstring to cinch the waist. I like that they're a smidge longer than 3" and they flow very comfortably. I'm SO glad Athleta is making high waisted running shorts now, and I am excited to wear them with crop tops on a lot of my summer adventures.

    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...d. I wish they would stick to the original waste band on these, it was high enough but not too high. These new ones have too much extra fabric creating a pooch that isn't even there. Waste band is sewn too tight which doesn't make sense for how much extra fabric is bunched up below it. Not a fan. Please make the old version with all the cute colors!

    Comments about Mesh Racer Run High Rise 3 Short

    These shorts are great at showing leg without showing anything extra. I have a long torso, so they're not high rise enough to cover my belly button, but just high enough to cover any love handles. These shorts are extremely comfortable. Even though they still ride up a bit, I fear that comes with having muscular legs.

    These shorts are the best! They are very comfortable, long enough in the back, and breathable without being too baggy. I loved them so much that when I lost a little weight, these were one of the first things I repurchased in a new size.
