  • Ordered more and changed my rating to 5 stars after having these short for over a month. REALLY LIKE THEM!
Size: X-Large Color: Maroon
(I did not receive any compensation, discount or free products for my review. I don't work for this company. This is just flat honesty.) The first thing I can say is I am pleasantly surprised that shorts of this quality come at such a low price point. That is a big selling point here. I could buy Nike, but why when I can get the same thing for $11-$12 bucks? That seems like a waste of money. Mind you, I'm not a, "Keep up with the Jones' kind of guy.) So, unless you just have to have a "brand," buy 3 or 4 pair of these instead. **After having having several pair of these shorts for over a month I came back to edit my review from a 4 star rating to a 5. I suppose since I've already ordered several additional pair I really like them. I wear them around the house every day. They are extremely comfortable - not only for relaxing but for yard work, painting, etc. In fact, I like these shorts so much that I hate it when I don't have a pair clean, so like I said, "I ordered more!" I live in central hell, where the summer climate is so hot that the last thing you want to do is work outside or in a hot garage. Yet, the mesh fabric accomplishes its job -matching the description. The mesh allows heat to escape and maintain a cool feeling without trapping in sweat. (Whomever created the fabric should be rich by now.) When beckoned I come in from the garage, sit down at the dinner table and the shorts are throughly dry. *The shorts launder easily and hold up well in hot water and a hot dryer. No special steps required. I don't like athletic shorts that you can't just toss in the dryer. Some expensive shorts state, "Wash only. Hang to dry." That's too much work! Draw string is one piece with a knot below, so you don't have to worry about loosing the string in the washer and then trying to find it and put it back in. (I hate that.) Exercising: I've worked out for 35 years, and I can tell you these are some of the coolest and most comfortable shorts I've ever worn. The pockets are the perfect depth. There is plenty of room to fit my keys and iphone 6-plus. Unlike some shorts, whatever is in my pocket's stays there. It does not fall out. (The manufacturer gets some points there.) I don't have to worry about loosing my keys, an adventure I'd rather skip. (Of course, be logical.) I wouldn't recommend engaging in heavy athletic activities with expensive items in your pocket, yet I can wear the shorts to make a quick trip to the store without my phone falling out. Importantly, there is plenty of room in the circumference of the legs to allow for men with very muscular thighs. The fabric stretches a bit, but will not remain stretched out. If you have huge thighs you might consider ordering a size larger than normal unless you fancy very tight shorts? I've never had that issue. There is ample room in the crotch for any man; however, be aware that you will not get any athletic support from the shorts. So, depending you your preference and need you may wish to wear protection underneath. Lastly, the shorts are a bit longer than I expected. The waist to knee measures 19" and the crotch to bottom of shorts is 13". I am 6'3", and the bottom meets the top of my knee. That is a thorough review of the shorts. I hope it helps you make an educated decision. ... show more

  • Great Waste Band & Good Size Picket Opening
Size: X-Large Color: Black
I really like those shorts. The elastic waste band has good stretch to keep the shirts from sliding down when I play tennis. The pocket opening is large enough so I can easily put in and remove tennis balls from the pockets. The pockets hold about four tennis balls which is helpful when practicing strokes. The material is quick drying after being washed and is basically wrinkle free. ... show more

  • Just what you would expect
Size: XX-Large Color: Black
These are basic athletic shorts. Fit well, breathable, a little longer than I prefer but that's OK. Just about exactly what you would expect from the photos and description.

  • Perfect summer shorts
Size: XX-Large Color: Steel
These are nice and light. Plenty of air since they are mesh. Sturdy quality too. Good buy!

  • 2x fits like it should
Size: XX-Large Color: Steel
Bought these shorts in grey for everyday walking. I weigh 275 and I'm 6-1. I am trying to get down to 195. I'm 67 years old. In my younger years I was a workout demon. Running, weights basketball. But having a career and running a business with bad eating habits and lots of sitting took it's toll. So now I'm making a serious effort to reverse it. I got Covid in 2020 and almost died. Now I'm type 2 Diabetic. Take insulin once a day. Covid really messed me up. Shut down my kidneys 100%. Had to go on Dyalisis. That was horrible. Luckily my kidney function returned to 60% and I was able to get off Dyalisis. Covid also gave me neuropathy in my right leg. Numb as a rock. That took 2 years to go away. I still get twinges now and then. It was extremely painful when it happened. Numbness in both feet too. Very painful. Covid had me so weak. I couldnt walk. Couldnt eat or drink. Had horrible violent hallucinations. I had to be restrained. Now I'm feeling pretty good. So it's time to lose this gut and get back in shape. These shorts fit fine for a 2x. I was wearing 3x but those are too loose now. I've come down from 325 to 276 just through diet. So now I walk everyday but will start doing it twice a day. I also do calisthenics through out the day in my garage. My next Amazon purchase will be a 25 pound kettlebell. I can do so many workouts with it without having to invest hundreds for weights and a bench. Not to mention the room it would take up. So that's my story for buying these shorts. I was walking with hiking shorts but they're too thick. These mesh shirts are light and cool. Made very well. ... show more

  • Pockets
Size: 3X-Large Color: Black
The shorts fit well but the pockets are entirely too shallow. My phone has fallen out of my pocket on multiple occasions just from sitting down.

Have purchased these in the past and needed more to wear after knee surgery. Great product. Very comfortable and wear very well. My past purchase is about 8 years ago and they are in fine shape. You will not be disappointed
