Vey light

Very light and well fitting. Great for exercising.

Size is way off

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.

Please bring these back! Mid doesn't work for my body type. I've looked for the last few months and haven't been available for a while. :( Please tell me these have not been discontinued?!?!

Bring the high rise back!

I LOVE the fit of these and the mid rise just don't cut it. If anything, these could be a little more high rise to me. Athleta, please bring the high rise back! I would buy in every color.

Bring them back!

Athleta, why would you stop making something that was clearly so popular with your customers? At this point I'm going to have to start shopping other brands. As an Icon card member, I've been really disappointed with you pulling my reliable staples.

Do I need to start looking for another brand? When are these

The fit is perfect!! It covers everything that needs to be covered!! These are the best shorts you guys have!! They're so flattering. Not a fan of the mesh mid rise at all as they do no good for my shorter torso! Please please restock the high rise ASAP! And do lots of colors!! I'll buy them all!!

These are the perfect shorts for running!! So comfortable. The rise is high enough that it covers my belly button which makes these perfect to pair with a sports bra for hotter runs, but still look great with a tank/long sleeve for cooler runs. The length is also long enough so they don't chafe/ride up but short enough that they look so cute on. Please bring these back!! These are superior to the mid rise version!
