  • Comfortable shorts for a nice price.
Team Name: Standard Athlete: 3 Inch Size: Large Color: 3-inch - Set 8
These shorts are comfortable and light weight. Great for relaxing, yardwork or casual wear. Zipper pockets are a plus. Nice shorts for a great price. Available in various inseam lengths. I like the 3", but available in 5 and 7" as well.

  • Good shorts bad zipper
The shorts are a nice mesh materials similar to yesteryears basketball shorts. They are slightly thicker mesh than some of the new meshes and appear durable. There is a zipper pocket which is nice for keeping things in the pocket while being active. The length is suitable as well. It is tough to measure the total length as they are slightly different lengths depending where one measures them, but on average they are about 13 inches long. I would say they are about an inch longer than some other 3 inch shorts and an inch shorter than some short 5 inch shorts. So, one may think of them as a 4 inch shorts with a 3 inch inseam. They don’t flaunt one’s curves excessively unless one pulls them way up to their belly, making them into a true 3 inch shorts. So for short shorts these are semi modest which is more comfortable for everyday outdoor use. Update - A zipper broke in my first use, so good shorts but junky zipper ... show more

  • Buy them!!!
Team Name: Standard Athlete: 7 Inch Size: Medium Color: 7-inch - Set 11
These are a great option for a non-expensive short. They are a little on the thin side but its shorts! It does have a zipper pocket for extra security and waist band tie. I do recommend, especially for young boys since they're constantly growing!!! They do come in 5 inch and 7 inch seam which is nice to have that option. ... show more

  • zipper failure but otherwise the shorts are awesome
Team Name: Standard Athlete: 5 Inch Size: XX-Large Color: 5-inch - Set 3
The shorts are awesome, breathable, comfortable, and otherwise perfect except for the zipper. The zipper pockets are horrible. The main reason I got them was for the zipper pocket, so I would not lose my inhaler or keys. The Zipper is flimsy, cheap, and a pain to zip and unzip. Two of the pairs had the zipper break off the track with the first use. If the zippers were better quaily these shorts would be perfect. ... show more

  • Perfect for bedtime
Team Name: big-tall Athlete: 7 Inch Size: 5X Color: 7-inch - Set 10
I'm only gonna purchase from this company. It's so hard to find clothes for my husband on this app but when I do I'm very skeptical because I ordered before. My husband is a retired veteran and making him as comfortable as possible is important so when these shorts came they were actually soft to the touch smooth on the skin very comfortable the fabric is of good quality. He looks really good in them as well. Definitely worth the price. ... show more
