Athleta pulse shorts?

The closest athleta store isn't that close to me so I havent seen them in person, but they look awesome in the catalog! Has anyone tried them?

I just got a pair last night and wore them this am. As compared to lll speed shorts they were much bigger. I'm a 2-4 in lll shorts and ordered an xs. I could've gone smaller. Athleta way over sizes it seems.
They are slightly longer than the speed shorts but overall just as similar and same zipper on the back and same waist band.
Do I like them better? No. I'll keep these but probably stick to my speed shorts instead. I can't put my finger on it but I just didn't like the overall fit or length on these as compared to other shorts.


Also I ordered mine too. They have a good return policy. You can try them out for a workout and if you are still unhappy they will let you return :-)

I haven't tried them, (but I was planning on going to our store to try them on). I just wanted to ditto their ridiculous sizing. If you order, get a size smaller than their size chart says. That puts me in an xxs. WTF? No. I'm not even closer to being xxs. LOL It's vanity sizing at it's worst, and it's annoying.

Lol
Me too. I was worried about ordering the xs. I laughed when I put them on. I'm no where near an xxs lol typical gap inc.
