Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

Great running shorts. Long enough to prevent chafing, but that feel short and light when running.

Fun

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

The mesh racer run is my favorite short for workouts. The fit around the waist is comfortable, stays in place and love the mid-rise. Fit is TTS and color options are great. Have purchased in multiple colors. Also like the small zipper pocket. Inseam is a nice length--just right. Highly recommend! #sweepstakes

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

Very comfortable shorts, they are the perfect length for me for running or working out - not too short or too long. They fit ever so slightly bigger than I expected but I don't think it's an issue since the waistband is elastic.

Must have
