Review: Amazing Shorts!!!!! - These shorts are amazing! I have always had sensitive skin and worn all natural cotton fabrics. Recently I began picking up strong fragrances on my cotton clothes that would not wash out when getting physical therapy. Looking for a material that does not readily absorb odors I opted for these shirts and shorts. All I can say is, wow! 1. They are so light and comfortable it's almost like wearing nothing. 2. They are cool to wear. I am in a hot and muggy climate and felt immeasurably cooler going out in these than if I'd worn my cotton shirt and shorts. 3. They are stretchy so they don't choke you when sitting or squatting. 4. It lays/hangs really nice when it's on. The waist band is not choking tight like other shorts and it has nice long drawstrings. 5. The colors are great. I got the black this time, but plan to get other colors. 6. They washed with ease and, yay, they can be tumble dried. 7. There are two pockets that are nice and deep that you'd barely know are there... not bulky. 8. The prices is good too! I'll be buying more! Great for the gym, physical therapy, walking, running errands, and casual wear.
Review: Comfortable Gym Shorts With Great Value for Everyday Use - These shorts ended up being a really solid purchase for workouts and casual wear. The material is lightweight, breathable, and comfortable during training sessions, especially for basketball, gym workouts, or just lounging around. They have a loose fit without feeling overly baggy, which makes movement easy. The moisture-wicking fabric works well and helps keep sweat from feeling heavy during longer workouts. I also like that the shorts are simple and versatile enough to match with almost anything. For the price, the quality honestly feels better than expected. After multiple washes, the fabric still held up nicely with no major shrinking or fading. Definitely a good budget-friendly alternative to more expensive athletic brands. Pros: * Lightweight and breathable * Comfortable loose fit * Good for workouts or casual wear * Moisture-wicking material works well * Great value for the price Cons: * Material is thinner than premium sports brands * Pockets could be slightly deeper Overall, these are reliable and comfortable athletic shorts that perform well without costing a lot.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The quality has changed
*by W***D on November 27, 2025*

The first pair I ordered several years ago fit me great. The waistbands felt snug without having to tie the drawstrings, even carrying my wallet and keys in each pocket. The material felt comfortable, is breathable, dries easily, and doesn't inhibit movement. I liked them a lot, so I ordered a second pair on sale on Prime Day. Unfortunately, something changed in the manufacturing process. My new pair doesn't fit as well although I ordered the same size as the previous pair. The waistbands fit much more loosely and my waistline hasn't shrunken. The drawstrings definitely need to be tied even if nothing is in the pockets. Also, the material snags more easily. I'm not as happy with this new pair, but I'd recommend them if you can get them at a deep discount.
