I needed some new athletic shorts, as my old shorts were wearing out. While looking for shorts on Amazon, I came across these and for the price, which I thought was nice and reasonable, I gave them a try. These shorts are nice and have held up well in terms of washing and being re-worn. Though I ordered the correct size according to the sizing chart, these shorts are a little snug around the waist, I had to untie the drawstring to make them a little more comfortable to wear. Though this helps, I would highly recommend ordering a size larger than what your normal waist size is, other than this issue, I really like these shorts. They are relatively comfortable, aside from the issue I just mentioned, and have held up well, they also have a thick waistband which I really like, as I think it adds to the comfort of these shorts in my opinion. I will continue to wear these shorts until they wear out, and if I decide to order more in the future, I will order one size larger. All in all, though, not too bad.The waist is a true medium (5'6"/160 lbs.) but the shorts are too blousy. The fabric is a good weight and the color is a true, pretty red.Only thing I do not like is the shorts have NO Pockets other than that my Son loves them and said they are super comfy.These shorts are okay, but they have no pockets. I tried to return them and the company was nice enough to let me keep them and refunded my money. Can't beat that customer service. As for the shorts themselves, they fit as expected and are light and airy. Nice.no pocketsMy husband like these shorts, and they fit great.I assume that men's shorts would have pockets. If I had noticed before I took the tags off and washed them, I would have returned them. Instead of being able to wear these during the day as I go about my business, I can only where them as sleeping shorts. Pockets are essential in men's shorts as few men carry a purse. Ridiculous!The type of fabric is a little revealing and you notice "the parts"
