  • Very lightweight. Great
Size: Medium Color: Set J
I've bought this product twice now in different forms. Personally, despite it being advertised as athletic shorts, I've found the lightweight nature as well as the smaller pockets make it only ideal if you have nothing you're trying to carry with it. Instead, the comfort of it has made it my go-to shorts to wear to sleep since it's very comfortable and breathable for that use case. I am otherwise, satisfied with it so much so that I had to get another set. One point of failure that happened with only 1 of the shorts in the 3 years of usage for the first 5 I bought was that one of the pocket's stitching came loose, but it's nothing a little sewing can't fix so it was of minimal inconvenience. ... show more

  • AMAZING DEAL
Size: Medium Color: Set K
Great price for good quantity and quality basketball shorts. I love the different selection of colors and has some neat looking designs on the sides of each pair. Very comfortable and were as described. I would happily order these again!

  • Great for what you pay but they aren't the BEST quality.... but that's okay.
Size: XX-Large Color: Set F
I have two sets of these shorts, one I purchased in august of 2020 and one in august 2021. Clearly I went back to buy another set a year later so I must like them, and I do. They are priced INCREDIBLY well. At the time of the first purchase, I had just started playing sports again and needed lightweight shorts to cut and move in. These are DEFINITELY those shorts. They breath very well, they're comfortable enough that now I not only work out in them, I lounge around the house in them and go to sleep in them as well. They've held up pretty well to washing. I wash them on hot with powdered detergent and oxiclean powder and rinse them twice and then dry them on medium heat. They've probably gone through at least 100 washes thus far and I'm still wearing them. Yes, some of the seams have loose thread, yes some of them start to come off over time but they're $6 a short and none of them have unraveled to the point that there are any holes or they are unwearable, it's just something you would see when you look at the inner part of the waistband. The ONE weakness of these shorts is the pockets. I've had several that have started developing holes in the side seams of the pockets. Now it only started happening a year+ later and they've been beat up and washed many times so that's not quite so bad, but still it'll happen. I suspect this is more to do with how big and heavy phones are nowadays since it's always on my right pocket (where my phone goes) and started pretty much after I upgraded from an iphone 7 to an iphone 13 pro. But two years and 100+ aggressive washings later, only 3 out of 10 shorts have pocket holes and only one has a hole big enough that I'm scared to put my phone in the pocket. These are fantastic shorts and they could easily charge double. I plan to replace some of the original ones with a new set even now. ... show more

  • Perfect Blend of Comfort and Functionality - Men's Mesh Athletic Performance Gym Shorts Review
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set Q
I recently purchased the Real Essentials 5 Pack: Men's Mesh Athletic Performance Gym Shorts with Pockets, and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. These shorts have quickly become my go-to choice for workouts and daily activities. First and foremost, the comfort level of these shorts is unparalleled. The mesh fabric is lightweight and breathable, ensuring that I stay cool and comfortable even during intense workouts. The airy feel of the material is perfect for hot summer days and high-intensity exercises. The fit is spot on. I ordered my usual size, and the shorts fit me perfectly, providing a comfortable and non-restrictive feel. The elastic waistband offers a secure yet flexible fit, allowing for a full range of motion during exercises. The addition of pockets is a game-changer. I love having the convenience of pockets to hold my essentials, such as my phone and keys, during my gym sessions. It eliminates the need for carrying a separate bag, streamlining my workouts and making them more enjoyable. The 5-pack option is fantastic value for money. I now have a variety of colors to choose from, and each pair is equally comfortable and well-made. The quality of the construction is evident, and I can tell that these shorts are built to withstand frequent use. Moreover, these shorts are not only great for the gym but also perfect for various activities and casual wear. Whether I'm running errands, playing sports, or simply lounging at home, these shorts are my reliable choice. Cleaning and maintaining these shorts is a breeze. They wash well, and the color and shape remain intact even after multiple washes. In conclusion, the Real Essentials Men's Mesh Athletic Performance Gym Shorts with Pockets are a must-have for any active individual. Their comfort, perfect fit, and functional design make them an excellent choice for workouts and daily wear. With the added bonus of pockets and the value of the 5-pack, this purchase has exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend these gym shorts to anyone in need of comfortable and versatile activewear. I am thrilled with my purchase and will definitely be buying more from Real Essentials in the future! ... show more

  • these are much longer than i expected. Fit ok but hard to get on
Size: XX-Large Color: Set O
These appear to be well made with the exception of the draw string. I completely lost it in the first pair i put on - once it slips into the band its gone. To prevent this going forward, I tied the ends together. I cant adjust the tightness of the draw string, but Ive got it sized so it works for me. These definitely are comfortable but they are MUCH longer than I expected. I anticipated joggers and got knee length. Difficult to put on - Im always getting my feet hung up on the bottom of the leg. But I guess this is the style now, I just dont like it. Not enough to return them as they work once I get them on and tie the drawstring. ... show more

  • Fits as described and very comfortable
Size: XX-Large Color: Set B
These shorts exceeded by expectations on comfortability. I bought them just to go out, but did not expect them to feel so good, that they are perfect for sleeping as well haha. Very good price as well! I will have to buy me another set with different colors

  • Really great, light weight shorts!
Size: Small Color: Set I
My husband really loves these shorts. He's commented on how much he likes the light weight fabric that moves with his body. He also likes the fact that the material is also cooling. Great shorts, will likely order more.
