Love these shorts

Absolutely love these shorts the way they fit and move while you move in them. The length is perfect. I was worried that they would be too short, but they are the perfect length that 4 inches. I will update the review after I wash them a few times to see how they uphold washing.

Sweat shows up easily and sizes come up large

The fabric on these shorts feels is really nice to the touch, and I love the colour of my green shorts. But I bought an S online as that is size 4-6 according to Athleta's size chart (I'm a 4) but the elasticated waistband was too baggy.

My favorite shorts! These have been my go to shorts for the past few years. Great for working out, walking or running errands. Very comfortable and they don't ride up.

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

Love the color and fabric, breathable for the hot summer weather in Florida, and good for exercising or running errands. The leg openings are a bit large for smaller legs but the waist fits perfectly.

Cute

It's lightweight and breathable. The length is perfect it's not too long and not too short, and I like that it has a built in under piece.

I'm 59 and love the 4 inch inseam!

Comments about Mesh Racer Run Mid Rise 4"" Short

I love these run shorts! I've been buying them ever since they came out. I'm older so the length feels more appropriate than some of the very short running shorts. The also stay put never ride up on me. I can fit in both the medium and small, but prefer the looser fit of the medium. I'm 5' 3" and about 125 pounds. In the weekend run shorts, I prefer the small probably because they seem a little more baggy II also wear a medium and athletic leggings.

Nice shorts

Great Fit, Love the mesh around the bottom for coolness. It looks really sporty with the white stripe which is also slimming with the way the stripes are placed.
