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...

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.
