As a tall woman (a hair over 6 feet tall) I find that many work out shorts are created for short people and hence show too much of my upper thigh. The 9" champion short is a great length for statuesque ladies.

Something else I particularly appreciate is that the waist isn't "low rise" but rather sits high, close to my natural waist.  Even when I was 19 and had a gorgeous six-pack for a stomach, I didn't want the whole world to see it.  Now that I am a few *cough, cough* years older than that, I definitely like that these shorts cover my navel.

A good product at a good price (although, New York Lingerie often doesn't ship the purchases 'til a few days after you purchase them at amazon -- states clearly on the page, no surprises -- and then shipping can take 5 days, so you won't be receiving them in a hurry).
