Comments about REI Fleet Compression Shorts - Women's:
I love tight compression shorts for running so I thought I'd give these a try (I usually use Nike or Brooks). However I was very disappointed after my first couple runs in them. I couldn't get more than a few miles without the fabric on the inner thighs causing terrible chaffing. They weren't loose on me at all (I wear an XS), so it wasn't like the fabric was moving around causing the irritation. I think the seems just aren't sewn well on the inside. The inseam is also very short (2") and I didn't like where they hit on my thighs. Usually love REI clothing but these fell short in my opinion.

Comments about REI Fleet Compression Shorts - Women's:
For my body, these things SERIOUSLY need some kind of rubbery stuff inside the cuff of the legs. They look and feel good at first, but before I've run very far, I've got booty shorts. I'm 47 - this is not what I'm looking for. For the record, I'm 5'5", 135# - not skinny, but quite fit - and I got these in a medium.
Interestingly, I own a pair of long running tights by REI that have rubbery stuff in the cuff at the ankle, where it's much less likely to bunch up. I wonder why they didn't incorporate that into these.
I hate returning stuff I've already used, but I sure can't use these for their intended purpose.

Comments about REI Fleet Compression Shorts - Women's:
Last year I bought a pair of Nike compression shorts from REI and wanted to buy another pair this year; however, I couldn't find the same ones. I ordered these from REI instead since they looked similar and had great reviews, and they are awesome. They're my favorite shorts for working out or running- they stay in place, aren't too short... I love 'em!
