Great fabric, but these ride up pretty badly

By erica Ranked #569 - Women's Shorts June 18, 2009

I've been wearing various Patagonia running shorts for years. The Long Haul used to be my fave, but they've been redesigned to not be so "long" anymore, so I ordered these Nine Tails.

First, there has been a huge improvement in fabric in the last couple of years. The fabric on these is wonderfully light and drapes perfectly for a running short (and it's recycled!). And I love the pockets with zippers.

My only complaint about these shorts is that they ride up quite badly in the front while I'm running. It's uncomfortable and embarassing. I tried to adjust where the waist band was sitting, but that doesn't seem to do any good. They seem to fit me very well other than the ride-up, so I don't think it's a case of them just being too small.

If I had it to do over again, I probably would not buy these shorts for $50.
