shorts - reviews

Showing off my legs
I was reluctant to try ... but the hot yoga class I've been taking is just too hot for pants and capris, so I tried the kickbooty ... SO surprised! I was totally comfortable in these ... they did not ride up at all, and I actually thought my legs (which I seldom expose) looked pretty good intthem. I wore baggy pants to cover up but took the pants off at home and felt very comfortable walking around the house in them,, too. I'm very glad I got these ...

Perfect for Bikram yoga
These ... perfect for Bikram yoga. They don't get all bunched up and wet like cotton ... They stay in place and are flattering in the butt. Best of all, they are not ... like a lot of other Bikram yoga ... PLEASE add more colors!!

these ... really work for me
i got these for yoga and though i don't do hot yoga, i like ... rather than leggings for warmer days. the ... also good for indoor (gym) climbing and for quick bike rides around town. i don't know about the riding up problem since i haven't run in them. they are a perfect fit for me and i love the 5" inseam. i've had shorter and longer ... past and these are a great balance, and they're neither too tight nor too loose. i'm a tall ish size 6 or 8 in athleta, so the medium is wonderful. the waist rise is just right and the wide waistband is comfy and very flattering. the seams on the backside make my butt look better too. and i'm really glad for the "dress blue" since i'm so tired of black and gray (and the pink isn't hot enough for me, a little bubble gummy in my opinion). i would love to see other bright colors, as i'm a bit top heavy and darker pants make me look like i've got no hips or butt at all. not everyone wants the slimming dark look on the bottom. the fabric is substantial enough and i'm sure it will hold up well in the wash (and air dry since we don't have a dryer anyway). nice design which seems to be worth paying full price for.

Use ''em for running too
I bought them simply for the blue color to pair with a favorite running tank of another brand. These ... super comfortable. All of my criticisms are based on the fact that I use them for running, and not yoga, like they could use zipper pocket in the back or a drawstring at the waist and the thighs do ride up a bit, but not so much as to make me chafe. None of these would apply if I used the ... yoga, though. I like that they're a bit longer than other typical yoga ... They're a keeper.

I never want to wear regular running ... again!
I needed a new pair of running ... thought I'd try something a little different, since I have a similar pair of calf length pants from Athleta that I really like for the gym or cooler weather runs. I'm always leery of "bike ... styles, since my upper thighs are not particularly thin, but I wanted to give these a shot - and I'm so glad I did, because I love them! The hem seams aren't overly tight the way a lot of bike ... so they're flattering even if you don't have the legs of a professional volleyball player. They're long enough to be comfortable without me wanting to tug them down every minute and the overall style is flattering from all angles. I marked them as too big/loose because they do tend to run a bit large - I'm usually a medium in exercise bottoms, but the small in these fits perfectly. I use them primarily for running (and am waiting on a second pair, since my regular running ... now drive me nuts with all that extra fabric), but they'd be great for any warm weather activity. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up with half a dozen pairs of these in my closet in the next year or two!

Great yoga ...
I really wanted the kickbooty capris to wear to yoga during the warmer months, but they're on backorder until the end of summer. I was super hesitant to try these ... because I'm 5'9, 150 lbs, with big hips and thighs and a butt that's definitely not my favorite part of my body. I was afraid that I'd look stuffed into these ... they'd be too revealing for all of the bending that goes on in yoga. As soon as I put them on though, I knew they'd be great. Don't get me wrong.. I still don't look like the super athletic models in the photos, but the fabric is thick and stretchy enough to shape pretty well(and it's soft too.. they feel cotton y instead of like typical stretchy workout wear). I got the size M and they hit about an inch and a half below my navel, flattening the tiny bit of tummy I have and not giving me muffin top at all. They are fairly short(not even mid thigh) but they're definitely long enough that I feel comfortable on my 3/4 mile walk to the studio and I don't feel like I'm wearing booty ... haven't noticed any sweat show through, and they definitely stay dry. I've only worn them twice so far but they seem well made.. we'll see how they hold up. I got them in asphalt, which might be just a little lighter than it looks in the photo, and now I want a black or pink pair as well.

My Favorite ... far
i purchase one of these pair of ... because i love the "biker ... look......i am 5'8" tall, size 8, 135 pounds and ordered size md. just for reference......all i can say is i love them soooo much i have ordered atleast 5 more pair........and would buy more had they more colors available.....these ... FLATTER YOUR BUTT, are a nice weight (not too heavy and not too lightweight) , DON'T hug your stomach to the point that you get a muffin top, launder well and especially DON'T ride up your legs when you're wearing them........there are NO cons to these ... i've found.......to all the people that said they ride up your legs maybe you've ordered a size too small because i know when i order my racerback tank tops and if they're too small they will ride up my stomach?!........i run in these, walk in these and wear them everywhere and have pulled them down maybe two times at the most in twice as many months.......BUY THESE ... glad you did (so will your boyfriend/husband)........they make you feel very sexy wearing them!

These ... destined to become a favorite of mine during the summer months. I wear these running on the treadmill at the gym, and they don't ride up. They also wick away moisture so that you can't tell that your legs are sweating until you take the ... off. I was worried on ordering them that they would be too ... tight, but the 5' inseam is perfect for me (i'm 5'1 with ... legs). I was also worried that my regular size xs would be too small, but the ... seem to fit true to size and the rise of them is such that they don't create any muffin top. These ... comfortable and soft; I hardly feel as though I'm wearing them when I work out! The price for them is also good; I'm off to buy a few more pairs before they run out in my size.

... fit the bill!
I am always looking for ... have the perfect length to cover my rear plus and inch or two down my 38-year old thighs and that will stay in place. I've worn these ... during several different types of workouts and I have been pleased with their performance. I am 5'3" and 125 pounds and the size small fit well. The fabric was slightly less weight than I was expecting but ok. The flat waist design and seams are flattering to my shape. The compression keeps the ... place and provides good support but doesn't squeeze. I'm training for a marathon so I do a lot of running plus I hit the gym several times/week for crosstraining and theses ... have been perfectly versitile. Thumbs up!

great!!
I am a yoga enthusiast, and i do bikram yoga (hot yoga) regularly. these ... nice because they don't feel like they are dripping wet with sweat when you are wearing them, you only know how wet they are once they come off and you feel them, lol. also, the biggest thumbs up to these ... go to the fact that they do not rise and give you a thigh wedgie...or even a rear end wedgie..i have a pair of nike spandex ... ALWAYS do that. rather than thinking about your ... rising, think about yoga.

Good shorts for gym and yoga
These are great shorts for the gym and yoga at a reasonable price. I got them in every color (though pink is not really my thing) as good shorts are hard to find. I like the waistband a lot as I don't have to keep adjusting like many yoga shorts. I have muscular thighs and these shorts work really well without cutting off at the bottom. My only complaint is NO petite sizes. Athleta does a pretty good job at bringing petite pants and a few dresses. Why not shorts? Just because it's a ... doesn't mean it works for a ... person! (same with tops actually!) The length is a little longer than I would like, but with most things, as a petite person, you just have to put up with it as I'm not going to spend the money to alter fitness clothing. Otherwise, nice ... good quality fabric. Hoping Athleta will keep things in stock that get good reviews. They tend to sell something one season, sell out, and then move on to the next thing.

cute shorts
I am 5' 10" and 140 pounds. I do not usually wear ... shorts but wanted shorts to wear over my bathing suit while at the beach. I think these shorts are great. They washed well and they air dry quickly. I bought them because of the SPF and quick drying time... I am very pleased. Well made and very cute style. I really like the 4 pockets and the added touch of the draw string at the waist. I normally wear a size 6 or 8. I ordered the 6 and it fit just right. I wear these shorts for walks, runs, hikes, pool, beach.

Best shorts EVER!
I ordered these shorts as a cover up to a bathing suit I bought (which I also LOVE). As a petite, very athletic body, it is so hard for me to find shorts that fit right. I have a teeny waist, VERY muscular rear and quads. These shorts compliment my figure beautifully! I love the drawstring waist. At 5'2" the length is flattering. I ended up buying 2 more pairs. I wear them every day!!! Please keep making bottoms w/ a drawstring! LOVE these shorts!

The perfect pair of shorts for ... athletic women
I am 52 years old, 5'1", athletic, 130 lbs but muscular. I fit into a size 2. I read through the reviews and saw the trend of these shorts running on the large side. I usually take a 4, and these size 2's fit me like a 4 so take heed! These shorts are nothing but flattering even for a woman of my age. Most shorts are either too ... too long. I want to show off my legs but not hang out of my shorts, and these do the trick. You do have to have a rather flat behind, however, so be forewarned. I wish the other colors were available in my size!

Breeze ... Love These Shorts!
I love these shorts & ordered them in Black & Cargo as part of my first ever Athleta order. I bought them for a trip to Cabo, but now that I'm back in Austin, I find myself grabbing a pair of these shorts as my Go To Mom Uniform! I am just under 5'4", 127lbs, and the size 4 hangs nicely, but is a little looser on the waist than I expected. The shorts do have a bit of drawstring adjustment, in addition to the zip & double hook closure, so it works out fine- just wanted any readers to know that as a size 4 ... they won't likely be too tight. I wear these lightweight shorts to run errands, sit by the pool with kids, to supervise kids in Agility Class at school, and more... on my height, the ... hits a flattering part of the thigh, but not too ... I've gotten compliments on my legs recently, and I really think it's these shorts! Unassuming, but they lay flat & light, with flattering length! I flinched to think that I paid [$] a pair for these, but now that I know how much I wear them, I'm glad I splurged- they're not just for water!

Love it so much, I bought several more...don''t compete with me when they go on sale!
Great shorts....(1) first...these shorts run really large. I wear a size 2 in other Athleta shorts but a 0 in these and the 0 still gives me room, (2) I am getting older and don't like my shorts clinging to my stomach...even with ordering the smaller size, these shorts do not cling to me and hug my child created belly. The shorts also have a tie to tighten them the way you like, (3) the material is really really comfortable, drys fast, and washes well, (4) the shorts have pockets, which are nice to have when you need them, (5) the colors are muted tones so they go with most any t shirt, (6) lastly, the shorts make you look good...they are slimming but not hugging.

Super Shorts!
I Love these shorts! The material is lightweight and the cut is flattering. These shorts will be great for everyday wear, but mostly for summer activities by the pool or at the beach. I'm at the beach a lot, so I like to have a pair of shorts to throw on over my suit that are lightweight, attractive, and comfortable. I walk my dogs on the beach, so the pockets come in handy for treats and pick up baggies. They are quick drying as well, so they'll be great to wear on the boat! I'm 5'3" and weigh 120 lbs and ordered a size 4 which fit perfectly, with a little room in the waist. The shorts fall on the hip more than on the waist, which is typically a more flattering look. The color blue is really pretty, but I'm sure I'll be ordering them in other colors as well!

New Favorite Shorts!
These shorts are fantastic! I frequently have problems finding shorts that are the right rise and don't restrict movement but are still flattering. These shorts are what I've been looking for! I love the stretch fabric, love the cut, love everything about these shorts. A real winner!! Horray!!

Cute shorts!
As a 5'4" woman with "athletic" thighs, these shorts are actually flattering! I have a very hard time finding shorts that make my legs look nice and actually swore off shorts for a few years. I'll be wearing shorts again this summer thanks to the Breeze Shorts!

Great ... - if only...
These shorts are really nice. Super quick to dry and a nice length. They do run large, but the drawstring is a nice touch for those of us who don't want their shorts super form fitting. A WORD OF CAUTION THOUGH: Make sure you tie the drawstring on these before you wash them. The drawstring came out of one side on both pairs of mine after they came out of the wash. Luckily, my husband has a knack for being able to get the strings back where they belong. Otherwise, I would have been one unhappy customer if I'd had to waste time trying to coax the string back out one side. Gave them four stars only for the drawstring issue - otherwise a five star pair of shorts!

Nice shorts but not the "right fit" for body type
I just recieved my shorts, orange size 6. This is my first purchase from Athleta. These shorts look like they are well made and have nice detail with zippered pockets and quality stitching. The orange color is nice and not too bright. I expected the waist to be low, which wasn't a problem. The shorts felt a tad big, so, I'll send back for a size 4. Even though I ordered these shorts according to the size chart, I just didn't know what to expect, since this was my first purchase. Now I know to order a size smaller. The length was as expected, but there was too much excess fabric in the leg area, which made shorts appear to bulge out too much. They just appeared too loose. I am not sold on the way these appear on me...maybe it's because the length is a bit on the shorter side for my leg type. My legs are average...not stick thin nor muscular. I hope the size 4 works. Soon to find out.

Water shorts
Was looking for a good quality, quick dry shorts to wear for recreational water activities such as canoeing, kayaking, wading, swimming -while covering up my 40+ year old (upper) thighs. The shorts are not swim shorts, so they do not have a liner. I my wore swim suit bottoms under the shorts. (to date) I have only wore the shorts once while kayaking. They were very comfortable, light, and fast drying. The waist was a little big, but the shorts have a draw string that allow you to cinch in the waist line for tighter fit. The nice thing about the shorts, is the type of material they are constructed with. When wet, it does not cling to your skin. So far I like the shorts and would recommend them to others.
