These shorts have quickly become my go-to for both running and gym training sessions. Right from the start, the comfort and practicality of these shorts stood out. The material is lightweight and breathable, which is essential for high-intensity workouts. They keep me cool and dry even during the most demanding exercises, and the quick-dry fabric ensures I’m never left feeling damp. The deep pockets are a major highlight. They’re spacious enough to securely hold my phone, wallet, and keys, which is a huge plus when I'm out for a run or need to keep my essentials close during a workout. The pockets also have zippers, adding an extra layer of security, so I never have to worry about losing anything while on the move. The fit of these shorts is perfect—they're loose enough to allow for complete freedom of movement but not so baggy that they get in the way. The elastic waistband with a drawstring ensures a snug and adjustable fit, providing both comfort and practicality. In terms of durability, these shorts have exceeded my expectations. The high-quality stitching and robust material show no signs of wear and tear even after numerous washes. Plus, the sleek and modern design makes them versatile enough to wear outside the gym as well. Overall, the Abovewater Men’s Basketball Shorts offer everything I need for effective and comfortable training sessions. Read more

Liked the longer length. Lightweight and comfortable, don't load up from your sweat. Been using for months still look brand new. Thought it was the best value in the category for this type of quality garment. Read more

I have a couple different pairs of these basketball shorts, all of them are comfortable, hold up in the wash, still maintain their color, and are good for all around the house/yard where, even when not be bawling. I am 5’-7” and they fit way below my knees, approximately 2 inches below. They fit very comfortably, lightweight, very soft against skin and the pockets are deep enough for my iPhone, wallet, keys, and change. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Read more

These shorts are great. Exactly what I was looking for. Good quality fabric and big, deep pockets. These pockets are like the, "I thought I put that in my pocket but I don't feel it in there ... oh, wait, there it is." kind of deep. I've ordered them in 2 colors so far and I'll probably build my collection a little bit more over the summer Read more

These are good quality overall and mine are not see through like similar light weight shorts. I have black, red and grey. The body fits well and is consistent with all pairs. The issue I have is that it seems the elastic at the waist was cut a bit too short so they end up being a bit tight at the waist. This is also consistent with all pairs. I purchased large and I usually wear a 34 waist in pants. I'm an athletic build but not bulky and I have no belly. The Elastic is very strong and resilient and due to the cut of it they taper in a bit which you can kind of see in the pics. I can't fully recommend these based on these issues but they are well made so if you decide to try them, make sure they are prime for easy return. Read more
