Review: My favorite all-around shorts - These shorts are absolutely fantastic for the activities I primarily engage in: 1) hiking/backpacking, 2) climbing/bouldering, 3) work outs, and 4) weekends around the house. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to find shorts that don't hang about my knees like man capris, yet aren't 1970 NBA short. Despite the 5" rating on these, they aren't as short as what you might be expecting. I'm 5'10 and they hit just above my knees. They're made of a synthetic fabric that isn't at all uncomfortable, is lightweight, and dries fast. I like the liner because I can go commando, swimming, etc. The liner is a non-issue when I wear boxer briefs. It's nice on a backpacking trip or hike to be able to jump into a creek or lake for a dip and have them dry quickly. They have a drawstring in the elastic waistband which I don't usually need to tie, but if I go swimming I do. The three pockets are fantastic. The front pockets are great because they are deep enough for a phone, wallet, keys, etc. On a lot of shorts in this price range you get pockets that aren't deep enough to hold a pea, much less something valuable. The zippered pocket on the back is really nice when you want to be extra sure to secure something and is also big enough for a phone or slim wallet. If these shorts have a weakness at this price point, I'm not sure what it is. I've experienced no issues with fit, quality, or durability. They're comfortable. I now own three pairs and wish I had more.
Review: weight of their material and top quality for running apparel. - I am blown away with their quality of the product, I courage you to buy this brand once, much better than nike, Adidas and Lululemon brands. I am professional runner and I just happened to buy one of their running shorts 3 years ago on desertcart incidentally. I am still wearing those shorts on everyday running. threads quality and elastic is very very good and its feather light product. some other product on desertcart around 20-30 dollars as well but don't be fooled by their quality and how heavy they are and once you sweat while running, heavier shorts gets even heavier and drop and t-shirts don't dry off as fast as this brand. I am not getting paid by any of them to write this kind of reviews. I am online shopper and I never leave any reviews to anyone, unless something really hits me heard. sizes are true to your size and washing and line dry is only necessary....Hats off to their designer ;-)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ light weight and very comfortable
*by A***X on August 29, 2021*

While searching for running shorts, than came up on Amazon's recommended. To me, brand name is not important as long as it have side pockets, an extra zipper pocket and quality/comfortable. Of course within budget. After researching on this brand/company, it is a fairly new company that manufacturers sports wear based out of California. I decided to give this a try. Here is my break down Fit - as expected, I am 5'9, 190lbs and waist 36. Size large was just right with enough room to spare where it is not too baggy/loose Quality - outside fabric is very soft to the touch even when out running and sweating. Does not stick to skin at all. It is thin but feels strong. If it wasnt for the inside mesh brief, I can easily forget i was wearing this. Speaking of inside mesh brief, mine came in white (same was drawcord) while my shorts are navy blue. It can't be seems on the outside, but maybe it would be better if it came in matching color? The brief did not ride up or feel uncomfortable in my long run. Side pocket - big enough and fairly deep enough to fit large phone (6.5") but seems like it stuff can fall out. Extra zip pocket - located in center back of pants, it is big enough to fix keys, wallet/cash and energy gel packs, BUT doest not fit my phone. If you have a large phone like mine, dont bother trying to fit it in. The opening alone is not big enough. 5" inseam was just the right length for me. It is around 2 inches up from knee, which provided good flexibility and not drag when running I did two wash so far and wore this once for a 10 mile run. So far it held up, but can't say for the printed reflected brand name on lower left thigh. It seems to be printed on and might fall/wear out after more washed. Overall satisfy but only time will tell if the stitching and quality hold up after more usage
