The silhouette is classic, with airy mesh and a smooth tricot lining that feels amazing against your skin. Designed for comfort and convenience, these light, breathable mesh gym shorts have an elasticized waistband with an inside drawstring to adjust for a perfect fit. The loose legs with side vents at the hem are designed for ease of movement, with convenient side pockets for essentials. The longer length with a 9" inseam hits just at the knee. Go with the original mesh basketball shorts from Champion®. Review: Awesome Shorts! They Meet the Three "Must-Haves": Lightweight, Good Pockets, and Knee-Length - When looking for athletic shorts I have three basic requirements: 1- they must be lightweight, 2- they must have pockets, and 3- they must settle near my knees. These shorts meet all of them perfectly! Here are the highlights: LIGHTWEIGHT: I primarily use these shorts for running, so a lightweight fabric is a must. This has become especially important to me since, what with COVID19-related-closures, I can't go to my gym anymore and need to run outside in the summer heat. These shorts ended up being just what I needed. They're comprised of two mesh layers placed on top of each other and are incredibly breathable. POCKETS: I also sometimes use my exercise shorts as pajama bottoms or to just lounge around the house, so having pockets is also a must! The pockets in these pants are deep and well-padded, with more than enough space to hold my phone, headphones, wallet, and/or anything else I need. KNEE-LENGTH: While I love running, I've never gotten used to "runners' shorts" that come up too far above my knees. I was a little worried that these shorts would be long enough for me (I'm 6'3"), but they ended up being the perfect length! They reach my knees perfectly (see picture) and look/feel comfortable whether I'm standing up or sitting down. All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with these shorts and will purchase more when I need them. Enjoy!

They’re lightweight, breathable, and perfect for workouts or casual wear. The fabric is comfortable and allows for plenty of air circulation, which is great for staying cool during exercise. The only downside is that since they're made of mesh, they can be a bit see-through in certain lighting, but that's expected with this type of material. Overall, I’m happy with the quality and comfort, especially considering the affordable price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1322921-mens-shorts-mens-mesh-gym-shorts-lightweight-athletic-shorts-reg](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1322921-mens-shorts-mens-mesh-gym-shorts-lightweight-athletic-shorts-reg) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
