Not bad

The short length is great and though I am short, still comes above my knee isn a flattering spot. The navy is dark and neutral but fun as an alternative to black. Pockets are definitely secure. Fabric is thin but I love the way the seams are made, flattering cut

Love These Shorts

When I first received these, I was concerned because they looked much smaller than my usual shorts. I was certain they would never fit. But once they were on, they were perfect. These are just high-waisted enough. I thought the seams on the back and across the thighs make me look lumpy and sausage-y. But they're all in just the right spots. I love these and will keep buying them until I've replaced all my old shorts.

Solid Shorts!

These shorts have a great color and fit wonderfully. I am 5'10", and normally wear a size 6 to 8 and I bout a medium. Although I won't have the issue of them falling down, next time I think I would try the size large to see if they fit better. Overall great shorts though.

Born Primitive

Kenidee,

I am glad you are enjoying the Cadence Shorts! We took the fabric from our Your Go To Leggings, added the pockets from our Rise & Grind Series and then an 8 inch inseam to create The Cadence Short. This short will be perfect for long runs, grueling bike rides, yoga class and even for those who simply want more coverage

Thank you for your support and taking time to post this review.

looks great but I couldn't fit it.

I liked the stying, and the fabric...not so shiny but interesting. I was looking forward to wearing them for sports and even swimming during kayak trips. But I am very tall and the medium was way too small to fit. I am considered slim and fit but maybe I am getting used to the Born Primitive sizing.

Born Primitive

Margaret,

I am sorry the Cadence Shorts are not fitting as you expected! These are meant to be very form fitting and long (should hit a few inches above the knee). Have you tried sizing up? We do have a free 60 day return/exchange policy if the product has not been worn, washed, and the tags are intact.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our customer service team at contact@bornprimitive.com

Thank you for taking time to post this review!

Measure Your Rib Cage:

Measure around your rib cage just under your bust. Round down to the closest inch. This is your rib cage measurement, which you’ll need to figure out your band and cup size.

Figure out your band size:

Take your rib cage measurement from step 1 and read across the chart below to find your band size

Rib Cage Measurement Band Size
25" - 27" 30
27" - 29" 32
29" - 31" 34
31" - 33" 36
33" - 35" 38
35" - 37" 40
37" - 39" 42

Figure out your cup size - This is a 2-step process:

First, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape straight across your back. Round up to the nearest whole number. This is your bust measurement.

Now, subtract your rib cage measurement (step 1) from your bust measurement (step 3). The difference in inches is your suggested cup size. If you’re between sizes, round up.

Bust Size Minus
 Rib Cage Size		 Your Cup Size
3" AA
4" A
5" B
6" C
7" D
8" DD
9" E

Calculate Your Size:

First, measure around the fullest part of your bust. Keep the tape straight across your back. Round up to the nearest whole number. This is your bust measurement.

Now, measure your rib cage. Subtract your bust measurement from your rib measurement. The difference in centimeters is your suggested cup size. If you’re between sizes, round up.

2.5 CM= A | 5 CM= B | 7.5 CM= C | 10 CM= D | 12.5 CM= DD | 15 CM= E

Fit Guidelines:

Every bra serves a different purpose for different activities and we recommend referencing each specific bra product description to determine the best bra for your body and sport. Our bras should generally fit snug. Wearing the bras too loose will not likely provide adequate support.

***Please note, a majority of our sports bras are medium support and medium coverage. If you are looking for the highest impact support that we offer; check out the X-Factor, Intensity or Moxie Sports Bra!

On our Large and X-Large Training Shorts, the length measures the same. From the waist band to the crotch its 8” in length and the inseam (from the crotch to the end of the shorts) is 5”. These shorts run shorter in length as you go up in size to more closely mimic our men’s training shorts which are a 7” inseam.
