  • Thin fabric, but great
Size: Small Color: Set H
The fabric was thinner than I was expecting. Definitely have to wear undergarments. But also very breathable and stylish.

Absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the 5 Pack: Men's Mesh Athletic Performance Gym Shorts with Pockets. These shorts have become my go-to for workouts and daily activities, and here's why: Comfortable Fit: The mesh material is not only breathable but also incredibly comfortable against the skin. It allows for optimal airflow during workouts, keeping me cool and comfortable. Versatile Design: The versatility of these shorts is impressive. Whether I'm hitting the gym, going for a run, or just lounging around at home, they provide the right balance of flexibility and support. Pockets for Convenience: The addition of pockets is a game-changer. I can easily carry my phone, keys, or any small essentials without the need for an extra bag. The pockets are deep enough to secure items during workouts. Durability: After several washes, these shorts still look as good as new. The quality of the stitching and overall construction is commendable. No signs of wear and tear, which speaks volumes about their durability. Stylish Design: The sleek design and variety of colors in the pack make these shorts not only functional but also stylish. It's nice to have workout gear that looks good too. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. These shorts offer comfort, functionality, and style – a perfect combination for anyone leading an active lifestyle.

  • Great shorts!
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set E
The shorts fit great and are comfortable. However, the stitching is thin in the crotch area. A hole developed in the crotch area after during the first wear on one pair of shorts. Please reinforce this stitching.

  • Runs big at waist and drawstring doesn’t help
Size: Large Color: Set H
Purchased these shorts to use as regular everyday shorts. Quality wise these are ok. The material sort of makes my thighs itch as it is a scratchy type of mesh. In addidion I found that while walking around in these shorts the mesh material kept clinging to my boxers making the leg openings of my boxers ride up on me to the point where it was so uncomfortable that I had to stop where I was, untie the drawstring and pull down the leg openings of my boxers. This was especially mortifying in public. I will also share that even with the drawstring tied tightly, I found that my shorts were constantly sliding down my waist exposing me in boxers. This became a nightmare when I was grocery shopping recently as I found myself constantly stopping to untie the drawstring, pull my shorts up and re knot the drawstring. At one point my shorts had fallen halfway off of me and I couldn’t get the knot I tied undone. I am literally panicking as I am in the middle of this grocery store with my boxers showing. I can’t get the pants pulled up as the waist string was clinched too tightly. I would spend the next 5 minutes looking like a fool holding my shorts up with one hand and the other hand trying to untie the knot in the drawstring. It was a literal nightmare. On top of that the leg openings on my boxers had risen up to the point that my boxers were now basically above my shorts. In the process of trying to get this knot untied, I ended up eventually pulling so hard on the string that the entire drawstring ripped out of the shorts. I literally looked at my hand seeing the flimsy string in my hand and knew that if I let go of the shorts they would be around my ankles. I am now literally freaking out as I didn't know what to do. I felt so embarrassed walking around in this store trying to hold my shorts up with one hand while the other hand is trying to steal a shopping cart. It was a literal nightmare. I honestly felt as though I was just in my underwear as I couldn't easily keep my shorts up. I have included a picture that shows that even with the drawstring tied (before the string came out) my shorts are still sliding down on me. I will keep the shorts but they won’t be my top choice to wear. ... show more
