I bought a single pair of these not knowing if I'd like them. The day I received them I ordered the two-pack. I would like to order a 100 pack. These are so comfortable, light, airy, and breathable. I wear them around the house, I've slept in them, and mostly I've been wearing them as daily underwear. I think if I was going to wear them to the gym or some such I'd prefer a size larger, which I might try soon, as I like boxers a bit smaller than top layer gear. Of course I wouldn't also need underwear. I'd stick to dark colors due to the shearness of them in public. They're made of 100% NYLON, which is for me the gold standard for hard-wearing, long lasting shorts and underwear. I first bought the green (nice) then the steel or charcoal (also nice) or whatever and now I'm going to order another 2 pack in brown. Thanks and stay frosty. Read more
i am what i buy—December 26, 2014
I have spent a great deal of time looking for shorts like this. All the major brands has nothing sensibly short these days due to the fashion trend of shorts that hangs down to your knees. Hay with more and more global population are obese this fashion tide seems no end in sight. In recent years I have better luck finding my shorts in Asia trips. Even then finding one with the right cut and build quality is more miss than hit. I was close to giving up looking on Amazon until I see this. I was very skeptical so I order only one to see. It exceeded my expectation. I am 6’ 150 lb with 32 waist. Thinking these are likely from China where no name brands for domestic market tends to be sized very small I ordered L. It fits me nearly perfectly except the waist band feels slightly loose. The cut is very nice with about 2 ¼” inseam. Without the excessive pleats it does not have the all too common oversized miniskirt appearance. The waist band on the front wears very close to my belly button and I like that. There is no ugly brand logo which is nice. The tiny pocket is barely big enough for a small house key and is typically insecure. The stitching quality is as good as the major brands costing three times more. Yes, running shorts are the biggest rip-offs from the usual suspects. The key is to buy them off season. These are made in El Salvador. Sold and shipped by Amazon. I ordered the graphite instead of my usual black and very glad with the choice. Thankfully it is not the usual sick light grey but quite blackish as graphite should. The fabrics of outside and the liner look and feel identical. They are very soft and supple, and very comfortable to the skin. The liner’s cut is perfect everywhere. It is made of three panels instead of the common two. None of the common cutting across the cheeks at the back feeling. The elastics around the legs as well feel nice and well stitched and sized. The liner breaths well so these are perfect for the hottest of weather. I test worn it for hours around the house and this is one of the most comfortable shorts I have bought in recent time. There is no bothersome static cling. Wanting a perfect fit, I am ordering a medium of the same color. If medium does not feel too tight I will a few. Amazon has a winner here in price as well as quality. They are perfect for wearing around the house as well as active activities. A good small purchase makes me smile. Read more

Excellent as usual. I buy these all the time. They run large so be careful. Order one size smaller as I do and they are perfect. Read more
shovenose—November 3, 2025
I have purchased these for like a decade... now the latest batch is clearly different. (late September 2025) they are baggier and longer :( There's nothing more attractive than a man confident enough to wear these shorts... and they're just darn comfy and perfect for all types of workouts and lounging around. That said, now that they're slightly baggier and longer, I'll look for something else. Also, not quite as "silky" of a fabric. It's slightly stiffer - not as soft. Bummer :( Read more
