  • Great feel—runs big
Team Name: Dry -Fit Athlete: Big & Tall Size: 4X Color: Dry Fit-set D
The material of the shorts feel great. I’d compare it to a smooth almost satin feel. I wanted a short that wasn’t mesh or cotton. Some reviews here call it “thin” but that is the nature of “quick dry” shorts or “moisture wicking” which these are advertised to be. The fit runs a little bigger than I expected. I could have probably ordered a size down and still been fine. I’m only a 5’2 guy and the length of the shorts falls several inches below my knee. I’ve seen some reviews complaining about the length of the shorts. Even if you’re 6ft it should hit at the knee I’d guess. The colors are slightly darker in person than online, but that doesn’t concern me. They do have drawstrings. ... show more

  • Really nice shorts with 1 annoying flaw
Team Name: Dry -Fit Athlete: Big & Tall Size: 5X Color: Dry Fit-set a
The shorts are quite nice. Very comfortable, fit very well and pleasantly the legs are decently long. Shorts tend to have a problem that if you wear them on your waste they don't even go to your knees and look like short shorts, but these nicely meet the knee. They are thin so I have concerns about the durability from wear and tear, but I want to be clear at the time of writing there have been no issues in that regard so far. The 1 flaw (how big the flaw is will depend on the person) is the tie string is far to small. I ordered the 5x and since these come in 3-5x I have a suspicion they use the same string for all 3 sizes but it's too small for the 5x. One side of the string constantly gets pulled into the shorts every time I put them on. Now when I wear them on my waist(which includes my stomach) I don't need to tie them so it's not a huge deal, but when I wear them on my hips, which I do when I wear them under my work pants, I do and it's always a battle to keep the string from being lost in the shorts and when tying them you have such little length to work with you have to make a tiny, tiny bow and often it will pull through leaving you with a knot you then have to undo. It's still a 4 star though because they are comfortable and you can't beat the price. You're getting 3 pairs for the price of 1 at big and tall. ... show more

  • Comfortable but thin
Size was accurate but they are pretty thin. Great for comfy wear around the house but I wouldn’t calll them “athletic shorts” I don’t think they would hold up for ANY actual activity.

  • Quick Dry 3X Shorts
Team Name: Dry -Fit Athlete: Big & Tall Size: 3X Color: Dry Fit-set J
So I'm a 400 pound adult man. Because it's hard finding anything that fits. Well my searching is over. Have bought the 5X Shorts. They were huge. Bit the reviews were saying they were ideal for the size and my prior order history. So I tried the 5X and now need to return them. As for the 3X they too are just a little bit loose. Pulled the strings and tightly tied them. The reviews say they're fabric is thin. It's thin but just about right. Sitting on the toilet with blue and black shorts. Well can see my hands and kittens. Know before Covid-19 hit. Was buying 3x shorts from Walmart. They were not great shorts for my lifestyle. I'm a shorts and t shirt person 75% of the time. When it gets really cold will put on the base layer really stretchy sweets then put the shorts over them. The base is like women's stretchy sweats. They stretch a lot. Then I like a sweater. Those circumstances uselly happen only in mid November through February. Or if we get snow, got boots. Normally like crocks. Anyhow wishing the tigh strings were of heavier or stronger weight. Feel, however, that it is dry fit material and the reviews pointed out that it's very stretchy and sometimes you can at certain angles see through it. Asked the people around and they say that they can't see through the material. I'm satisfied and will try again with the 2X. Love the shirts so much in same material. Bought 3 orders of the 3 packs. So yeah love stuff in black and dark blue. This order had 1 pair of black, blue, and grey. Will put up with grey occasionally. Overall try to get all black. Was lucky 2 get 3 orders of shirts in all black. Plus it's an update for all my older clothes that were in bad shape. Covid-19 made it very hard. So it's great. The prices are very awesome for a 3 pack. Would definitely recommend buying this company's products. The stuff has arrived quickly. As always recommend trying products for a few weeks even a month. I try to match up shorts and shirts. This company allows that very easily. Plus the selection is very well rounded. Anyhow if you're a big man. Thr big and tall brand this company has is very good. Probably one of the best I've ever come across. Do want to try the sweats and other things. As a big man I sweat a lot. Don't wear underwear because of the sweating and it binds up. Plus I get rashes if there's lots of very wet or moisture. Pretty picky about everything. Probably to the point of OCD. My two daughters and mom says I'm very much overdo the daily routines. Overall just try this company's products. Pretty sure you will like them and choose to get more. Well believe everything was covered. So stay safe and positive. To another day in paradise. Thanks for your time and patience. Feel free to ask questions. Enjoy helping the heavier people. Especially when it's very good products. So stay patient and remember. There's apathy and empathy. Well you too can kindly continue giving advice on products. See ya. ... show more
