SoffeMen's Original Silkie Ranger Panty

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.

These shorts are very lightweight, soft, slippery, cool and comfortable. The fabric is not stretchy, but the liner (same material) is spacious enough in front to allow some movement.For very open and nonrestrictive short shorts, also consider BOA full-split 1-inch men's running shorts.

This running short is excellent for my purposes. Fits as it should, very light and very comfortable to wear. I prefer to minimize everything when I run, the lighter and cooler the better. This thing is both. Please note that they are pretty short and somewhat thin, so if you are modest, these might not be for you. They are perfectly appropriate for public use, but not necessarily everyone's cup of tea. They appear to be well made and I would think would last a long time.

I love these shorts, I sleep in them. Just enough support and still allows movement. Also keeps me cool while I'm asleep. They are so comfortable and feels great..

Based on the picture, I expected this to fit tighter than it did. Not terribly baggy, but I like snug like it shows in the product picture. The leg holes are bigger than they show in the picture. I'm about a 34" waist and usually a medium fits me about right in most clothing. So I ordered a medium in these. I now think I should have ordered a small and they may have fit better. The medium waist still has a lot of room to expand, so I'm sure fitting into the small would not be a problem. I may order a small soon to try that out. If I do, I'll update this review.What I do like about them is they are very thin. In fact, a bit see-through. More on that in a bit. But you feel like you barely have anything on, they are so thin. Even more so when you pair them with a thong. So they are extremely comfortable. I like wearing them around the house and some appropriate outings. I don't run much, but I do Zumba. They worked well for that purpose, but due to the shortness, I wouldn't use them for Pilates or Yoga--some positions would show off too much. I'm sure they'd work well for running, their designated purpose, and probably for weight lifting, though certain exercises could also reveal what's "under the hood" too.The other negative I noticed is the inner liner is not very supportive. Elastic leg holes in the liner will prevent anything from falling out, but it will all be bouncing around down there as you jog or jump in Zumba. For those activities you'll need to add in some supportive underwear if you want to keep things orderly while doing anything bouncy.One warning on the last point. I cut the liner out since I was going to use my own underwear for these. In hindsight, I think it would have been better to have left the liner in and just put in on over my underwear. Mainly because the material is already a bit see-through. Cutting out the liner makes them more so. In general, one cannot see much detail, but if you end up getting back-lit, people happening to notice will be treated to the outline of your body beneath the shorts. If they get up close, for whatever reason, they might pick out shapes depending on the lighting. If I had left the liner in, that would not be possible. Of course, some may consider that a good feature rather than a problem. Depends on your modesty level.Also, it should go without saying, these shorts are very short. If you want something going past mid-thigh, or even reaching mid-thigh, these are not the shorts you are looking for. They are exactly as short as they look in the produce picture. I find it strange people will complain about how short they are, as if it wasn't obvious that they were from the picture and description.All in all, I like these shorts and will likely try a small on for size, and leave the liner in even if it isn't needed for anything else than keeping things more hidden.Update: 6/9/16I did order the small version of these shorts in navy blue. With my 34" waist, they fit perfectly as I had expected from what I saw from the mode wearing them. Much less baggy than the medium. Exactly what I wanted. They've become my new favorite shorts to wear.While the inner liner is snugger than in the medium, so it doesn't feel I'm left dangling with no support, there is still a lot of room for movement. So jogging or other exercises requiring up and down movements will need some additional supportive underwear if you don't want things bouncing all over the place down there. But just for hanging around the house or non-jumping activities, the inner liner alone is fine. Only warning, if you do get excited, it will be obvious as the liner has no resistance to hold things close to your body. But it does have decent elastic leg-holes so you don't have to worry about anything falling out and being visible. Even at this size smaller, the leg-hole elastic is not too tight, but it is effective.So at least based on my experience, if you like some bagginess to your shorts, get the size you normally buy. But if you want to have it more snug and less gaps around the legs as it shows in the product picture, go a size down. It should still be comfortable around the waist and leg holes, assuming your thighs aren't unusually large. Your mileage may vary, but I'm very happy with the small size. Comfortable and a perfect fit. My only criticism still remaining is the inner liner, while doing good at keeping my stuff in, offers no real support for running, which is its primary designed purpose. But easily solved by extra underwear. And a reminder to not cut out the liner which will make them even more "see-through" than they are against a back-light, unless that is what you really want.

The build in underwear is see through in the light so I suggest cut it off and wear a solid underwear

And looks great. Super comfy for running with no unnecessary pockets.

These running shorts are exceptionally comfortable. I'm a 36 waist and the XL fit perfect. Will be buying again. Great exercise or tanning short. Show off a little extra leg, but not so much that they are indecent. :)

A real head turner on the trails
