Amazon Essentials Mens Classic-Fit Stretch Golf Shorts with Moisture-Wicking Active Waistband

I have purchased these shorts multiple times and will continue to do so. My son wears these shorts for both work and golf. Living in South Florida, work shorts are more common. My son likes the comfort and quality of these shorts. The fabric is breathable and does not pill. They function well for both work or play. The fit is true to size and they have just the right amount of stretch. He has several pairs of the black shorts and after multiple uses and lots of wear, they still look like new. The color does not fade. They are sharp looking, too. These shorts have really held up well over time. We have only had to purchase more due to him losing weight and requiring a smaller size.

Update 1: Well this is still sort of based on first impressions after a few days but nothing long term. These seem a little thicker (again "thin shorts = more likely to tear/rip, in my mind anyway... maybe that will not happen ... heck thicker shorts from Wrangler (bought say in the last 5-10 years,,,, OLDER versions I still have with the label have no issue like this) as I said below, sometimes didn't make it to the first wash before tearing completely down the rear pocket. Anyway the full price at say $20 isn't bad at all if they last but the two colors i'd want the most are Black and Tan ..for $12 at the time of me buying those particular colors ... i ADMIT I already have another pair of the black shorts, and for $2 more at about $14 .... I got a pair of the tan ones .... IF there is no signs of ripping after a little while .... maybe too soon but I may order a second (that is 4 total) of the tan ones. I wish they were thicker ONLY because "that means they will last longer" in my head as I keep saying ... if they dont have this issue, ... I legit cant really name any negative about these. -------------------------- Original review: PLEASE NOTE: this is totally based on first impressions and as someone who had issues (mainly Wranglers bought in the last say 10 years or so at Walmart, ripping ... sometimes before the first wash (note: older Wranglers I had packed away i have worn for months if not years after getting them out of the boxes i had them in and they still haven't ripped) with shorts being made cheap and ripping with minimal use ... That matters here SO far .... I feel these feel light which can be a good or bad (esp if made too cheap) thing ... I have had others that seem "too thn": but they lasted for years ... others well ... see what I said about the Denim Wranglers. I do admit that the price was great on these, though having my size as 34s ... I opted to save $5 and get the 36's (I often just wear a belt) ... I cant say if these "fit to size" well ... as I dont have the 34's but the 36's while i do have to wear a belt with them (TOTALLY not a problem)... these feel REALLY comfy. The material is soft and these are not like "regular fit" shorts where even in 36's around everywhere but the waste, seems tight .... these feel totally comfortable all around and I do think (not just because the 36's in the colors i want are a few dollars cheaper) i'd stick with the 36s (one size up for me) ... NOT saying they dont fit to size, just these are so good as is (with a belt) .. no reason to chance 34s and have to return them to swap them for 36s. After seeing people (note: so far I just bought the black ones) showing some stains they had right after they opened them ... I did not see anything wrong, or missing buttons or zippers or whatnot ... everything is totally normal in the one pair I ordered so far. It's hard to tell about the Elasticity of the "stretch" waste band ... mainly because i did buy one size up but it seems good on first impressions ... BUT AGAIN "one size up" as i said so that may play a factor ------- SO far ... with all the preferences I stated ... I have to say I would recommend these ... WITH a grain of salt that only time will tell about (say ripping or whatnot) ... I will try to keep this review updated, one way or the other. Read more

I bought these specifically for working out at the gym or walking / hiking outdoors. I love that they are wicking and that they have 4 pockets. My phone stays securely in my front pants pocket while I work out at the gym and that there is a . place to carry my wallet while I am travelling to and from the gym. I often make stops at the gas station or store before or after, so this is important to me. The shorts are comfortable. Sizing is accurate. Waist sizes are every inch to provide a more accurate fit. They stay up without a belt. They stay dry. They are a perfect length. Read more

I got these because I wanted a more tailored short than the usual cargo or baggy style. I can't praise these enough. Classic slim look, come out of the dryer looking perfect and just enough stretch that they don't bind when a squat down or bend over. These have the nice little tacky bands in the waist to help keep a shirt tucked in. They also have a small coin pocket behind the side pocket that I find to be of marginal value, but your opinion my differ. I wear them a lot for walking and playing disc golf in the Kentucky heat and find that they wick well and dry out super quick. Exactly what I wanted from them. Construction and quality is much higher than what I expected, easily equal to what I'd expect at twice the price. All in all these are a great pair of shorts at a super price and have become a standard for me. Read more

A bit too slim. Read more

I've been wearing black and camo denim shorts from WM for 30 years, even when I golf. My son told me my shorts were tacky and outdated and recommended these shorts to me. It took me a couple of years to finally do it but I'm glad I did. I loved them so much that I ordered 2 more, for a total of 3 pair. They fit great, are comfortable, cooler in the heat, wick sweat better, hold their color a lot longer and seem to be of great quality. Although I don't need to wear a belt for these, because they have these silicone strips in the waist band, I still do. I just wish I hadn't waited so long to try something new. Read more

Nice as shorts go. I am a big guy and though there is nothing technically wrong with these shorts, they are cut a little trimmer than what suits me. I was expecting a little fuller cut in front and on the hips. I still wear these shorts as there isn't really any flaw to them; they are wrinkle free, the zipper is fine, and now that they have been through a couple of washes I can say they still look almost new. The elastic in the waistband works. If the shorts would have been a fuller cut it would have got 5-stars. Read more
