4-rth Men's Eco-Track & Yoga Gym Short Modal French Terry Made in America Caliifornia Stretch Fit European Tennis Pockets

These are by far the most versatile, comfiest, and all around best pair shorts I have ever owned. I will purchase anything from this company, again and again!Initially, I purchased one pair, and upon waring them the first day, immediately ordered a second pair, same size, same color. Since then, almost six months ago, I have worn them practically 24/7, cycling only for wash and when an activity dictated more rugged clothing. Seriously, I don't take them off. I live, eat, work, study, sleep and of course do yoga in these things. What's awesome, after six months they have held up incredibly; they are defiantly not mint anymore, but anyone expecting that after almost 6 months of daily use would be nuts.As for more specific use: I am typically inside so they don't get excessive UV, but I would say they do get a "normal" amount as I do ride motorcycles outdoors in them frequently. I avoid using them for activities that result in heavy sweat, but that's only because I'm still currently limited to two pairs, once I expand my wardrobe these will defiantly be used in those cases as well. That being said, I usually wash each pair only once a week, and I hang them to dry as instructions indicate. I find the material vents really well, so unless your really active in them (they get really sweaty), hanging them in front of a fan for a night, there about as fresh as can be!The only caution is the pockets, if your inverted they will not hold their contents. I think this is obvious by inspection of design, but I feel its its worth noting if you like to sit in a chair with one leg over the other, you phone doesn't have a case and its really smooth it might slip out (+1 Broken screen). With a case however, there is enough friction and bulk to keep it in its place. I also ride motorcycles, and though it would depend on the class bike you ride, the pockets hold my (cased) phone and wallet just fine on my enduro (dual-sport) and cruiser-sport class bikes (where legs are angled strait down down and/or slightly back. I would be more weary on a cruiser style if your legs are more forward, it might be okay but I haven't tested it personally.) That being said, I love the pockets and wouldn't want them any other way! They are very comfy to rest your hands in, and hold plenty of contents if need be. There deep enough but not to deep to be clunky/excessive. There is also a little inside pocked for a key or mp3 player (wont fit a standard smart-phone size), which would be awesome if I had an mp3 player, that would solve the inversion issue, in the specific case where one wanted to listen to music through headphones and do a hand or headstand, ha! Just wanted to point out the only limitation I noticed.If your deterred by the price, don't be. This is a case where you get what you pay for, and this company delivers! I would not consider the price to be unjustly inflated, or "over hyped/marketed" at all.I wish I had more time to do some more fabric research for this review, but if you have no idea what French-Terry or modal means. Don't worry. Just associate the fabric with comfortable, SUUPER flexible (seriously, there is zero restriction of movement) and breathable.I wish I could attest more accurately with retention of the fabric elasticity, but I can't at this time. I'm about 25lbs lighter than I was when I purchased these so just about everything I own feels looser.When I purchased these I was 6'1, 33-34 waste, and 215-220lbs and had very muscular legs/glutes. At that time, I remember they form fit perfectly.I'm more slim now, about 6'1, 33 waste, and 190lbs, and still have muscular legs but I have defiantly profiled down, and since I'm shooting to get around 180 or so I will probably purchase a medium in the future, but cannot say for certain. Unfortunately I also cannot say how much is from size and how much is from elasticity loss, because of that significant mass change I'm hesitant to say anymore about fit. I'll be sure to update this review once I have some fresh data!If you've never owned a pair of yoga/track shorts like this, then yes, they are exactly what you would imagine they would be. Slim fit, and unrestrictive. No excessive material that would otherwise be needed for flexibility you want (like basketball shorts or gi pants), and they are super soft and comfortable. Overall, highly recommend. I considered these for a long time and now a half year later couldn't be happier with my decision!

Okay, here's the deal. I love the way these shorts feel and fit that I wear them for just about everything, BUT they don't seem to be holding up so well......So first the good. These shorts fit fantastic and look terrific. There are so so comfy too. New, they come out of the package amazingly soft. Originally purchased for yoga, I soon found myself wearing for everything. When I get home from work, this is what I put on and wear around the house. Stylish enough for a quick trip to the store too. These soon became my favourite pair of shorts. The design is great and American made too. With this much going for them, I didn't even mind that they are a little pricey........Then after a few weeks I started wearing for everything including running on my treadmill. That's where the bad comes in. Now the BAD......After only a few washes, the fabric started fading and I noticed that the fabric seemed to have lost some of it's loft and density. Then I noticed the piling that appeared where my thighs touched when running on the treadmill. I know these pants weren't designed for running just yoga but they are soooo comfy. Still though, you run in cheap sweat pants and they don't have piling between the thighs. With everything else being so detailed would be nice for the fabric to be of higher quality too. Overall, I will keep buying cause the look and feel are so nice, but now I have to replace more often than not. Please make these same pants with more durable fabric.

The best yoga shorts a man can buy!I am really impressed with these and I will be buying more. I am about 5"11, 165lbs, 32" waist and these fit perfectly in a Medium. They are light and soft, have a great stretch to them for a full range of motion when doing yoga, or other workouts (I use them for kettlebell workouts too). The waist does not cause me any issues- no irritating seams or ridges. They do not get soaked when I sweat, and I tend to sweat a lot when doing yoga. They have a nice key-pocket inside- a nice surprise. They are slim-fitting, which is perfect for yoga; you don't want a bunch of loose material hanging you up when you are trying to move through poses. The length is just at the knee, so you can be confident that even in the craziest poses no wardrobe malfunctions will occur. The crotch is snug, and provides just the right amount of hug to your groin area, I find this to be helpful for men to keep your junk from getting in the way when doing a wide range of motions- I had previously tried to use shorts with a lower or more open crotch, partly to not showcase my parts in public and partly to allow for movement, but more fabric and a looser crotch just inhibited my motion. The slim fit will showcase your package a bit, but nothing embarrassing- no more than basketball shorts...if that is a concern just get a darker color and you should be confident to wear them to class without being distracting. These are made in the USA,organic, all that good stuff we should support. Get em and pass on the good word!
