These are a versatile choice for athletes who want the support of a compression liner without sacrificing the classic look of a 7-inch athletic short. After evaluating their moisture-wicking capabilities and pocket design, I found these shorts to be a high-value alternative to more expensive boutique brands, providing a secure fit for both long road runs and high-intensity gym sessions. What I like Secure 2-in-1 Design: The built-in compression liner is made from a soft 4-way stretch fabric that provides excellent thigh support and prevents chafing during long distance runs. Smart Storage Solutions: These shorts feature multiple functional pockets, including a dedicated phone pocket on the inner liner that keeps your device snug against your leg to minimize bouncing. Quick-Dry Performance: The 90% Polyester/10% Spandex outer fabric is incredibly lightweight and treated with a water-resistant finish, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable even during heavy perspiration. Superior Breathability: Integrated mesh air vents throughout the liner and breathable side panels allow for maximum airflow, preventing that stuffy feeling often associated with lined shorts. Adjustable Comfort: The elastic waistband with an internal drawstring allows for a personalized, secure fit that won't slip or dig in during deep squats or sprints. What I don't like Color Bleed Potential: While the fabric is generally colorfast, it is recommended to wash the vibrant Red pair with similar colors for the first few cycles to avoid any dye transfer. Sizing Considerations: The waistband can feel quite snug; if you are between sizes or prefer a more relaxed fit at the waist, you may want to consider sizing up. Read more

I got these shorts for my husband and he loves them! We’re grandparents and take the grandkids to amusement parks often, and these are perfect for that—plus great for workouts too. They’re two-layered, with spandex shorts underneath the outer layer, which is nice for coverage and comfort. The 7” inseam works really well for his long legs (he’s 6’3”). The waistband is comfortable, and I like that the drawstring is hidden. *Note- check the sizing chart before ordering. He normally wears a large, and that’s what Amazon recommended based on his height and weight, so I ordered a large. However, I should’ve checked the detailed size chart—he would have been better in a medium. They’re a bit roomy on his narrow hips and legs. I really appreciate the large zippered convenient pocket on each side. It’s great for keeping items secure during activities, so there’s no worry about things falling out. Both layers dry quickly. The inner layer is stretchy and feels comfortable against the skin. Overall, these are high-quality workout or play shorts at a very reasonable price. I really appreciate the zippered large pocket on each side so during any activity he won’t lose anything. The material on both layers dry fast. The inside layer is stretchy and feels comfortable against his skin. These are high quality workout or everyday shorts for a very reasonable price. Read more

Goodish pair of shorts. The only thing I dislike is the drawstring. They cheaped out on this one part. It's too thin for how the waistband is structured. It needs a wider string. My first wash on delicate caused the drawstring to knot into itself and snapped one side of it. Read more

These are roomy, but I think that's just how they're meant to be. I ordered a Large based on my waist measurement, and while the waist fits well the rest is kind of blousy. The four-way (slightly) stretch fabric has a decent texture: not too drapey, not too crunchy, not too clingy. The pockets are excellent all around; the regular outside pockets will easily swallow a phone and they have zippers. The leg pockets on the built-in undies are just big enough for an iPhone 17 Pro, and they're not particularly easy to access while wearing the shorts. They're best used for something that you need with you but don't plan to access a lot while out, like a spare $20 or an ID or a house key. Read more

I picked up these shorts in Navy (Med) for my partner, and after several intense workouts, they have easily become his new favorite pair. The first thing he mentioned was how incredibly comfortable the built-in lining is; it provides just the right amount of support without feeling restrictive, making them great for long gym sessions or even just wearing around the house as we are getting things done. One of the biggest wins for him is how they handle moisture as he is someone who tends to sweat excessively during cardio — but these did a fantastic job wicking everything away and staying relatively dry. As for the pockets, they are surprisingly secure for his cell phone—it stayed tucked away and stable even while he was moving around. The only minor thing to watch out for is that smaller, slicker items like his earbud case felt a little less secure than the phone, so he just made sure those were latched to his keys or cubbied. That said, he’s already asking for more pairs in different colors, which is the best endorsement I can give! Read more
