Let me start by saying these shorts have become my go-to for everything from workouts to lazy Sundays. The fabric is a dream—70% cotton makes them soft and breathable, while the polyester and nylon blend adds just enough stretch. Unlike some synthetic shorts, these aren’t see-through, which is a huge plus.
The fit is spot-on if you follow the size chart (learned that the hard way—my first pair was a tad loose). They hit that sweet spot in length: not so short they’re revealing, but not long enough to get caught on my knees during squats or runs. The elastic waist with a drawstring (reinforced with leather guards!) stays put without digging in.
Now, the pockets—game changers! The side zippers keep my keys secure even when I’m jumping around, and the back pocket fits my slim wallet perfectly when I’m running errands post-gym. Bonus: The zipper pulls have fabric tabs so I’m not fumbling mid-workout.
After multiple washes, they’ve held up well—no pilling or fading. My only gripe? The drawstrings are a bit short and tend to retreat into the waistband (I fixed this with some knots). Also, if you prefer knee-length shorts, these might feel slightly shorter.
Fun story: My husband ‘stole’ a pair meant as a gift—they were technically too small (he’s usually a 38”, these were 32”), but the stretchy fabric made them his new favorite sleep shorts! That says something about comfort.
For the price? Absolute steal. Already planning to order more colors.
