If you're like me, you probably want some decent shorts to run/ball it up/do whatever in, but you don't really want to go around looking like Daisy Duke. So here you go. I bought the XXL size, although XL is probably my actual size. I'd say that they definitely aren't overly baggy for me.

For some reason, I've also become kind of sick of school logos on the shorts. These plain ones show off a little more of your post-modern sensibilities.

Two small nits: 1) They are maybe a very slight bit too long- even a little bit off the length would probably help with the air circulation down in the important areas (but like I said, I ain't no Catherine Bach). 2) I used to like the older mesh with the slightly larger holes in it. I feel (and my feelings may not at all comport with reality) that the new finer mesh doesn't seem to breathe quite as well.

They do all that I ask of them.... cover my junk and look good.

I bought these shorts for myself because I hate my thighs so it covers them when I work out (I am female). I do like the shorts. They fit well. The problem is not in the making, it's just me. I am not a guy. So therefore, there are certain areas of the shorts that do not fit me correctly. It's the nature of the beast. I recommend them though for their comfort.

Because I am someone that is bigger I was of the opinion that that 3xl would fit that way that I like ........ although the fit is ok I just thought that it would have a little more room in the shorts being a 3x...... otherwise good shorts

Simple, comfortable, affordable. There are no pockets if that matters to you. Short enough for distance running but long enough to fit in at the gym.

Would definitely recommend these to a friend.

My husband is 6'5 and these are the perfect length for him. (not too short like most are that he tries on) He loves them and says that they are very comfortable. We would both recommend these to anyone. Fast shipment, too!

The shorts arrived in a timely manner considering it was close to Christmas!
Shorts are good quality and comfortable.

Some are too short, most are too long. The last thing I was looking for was a pair of oversized basketball shorts... finally I got my wish. These are your traditional MESH gym shorts. Not heavy cotton, not that shinny basketball short material, just plain old breathable MESH gym shorts, perfect. I'm 6'5" w/a 36" waist and I got the large and they fit just fine, a little above the knee. If your looking for something that breathes well, doesn't get sopping wet when you sweat, looks normal, and doesn't shrink in the wash, then this is what your looking for... and there cheap...!

After years of being gently ridiculed by my friends for wearing my old style, high cut shorts that show about 2/3rds of your thigh, I decided it was time to update my fitness wardroble. (That and my old standbys were wearing out.) These are good shorts for the price and they fit well, although I wouldn't mind if they were a little shorter on the leg. I like the mesh fabric they use ... it breathes well, and it should hold fairly well up over time. And I certainly don't stand out in the gym the way some tourists wearing shorts, sandals, and black socks stand out on the beach. At least not anymore. :-) I would have liked these a little better if they had a pocket for holding keys or cell phone, but that's my fault for not reading the description more closely.

These shorts had the expected fit, are comfortable, and hold up well in the washer. My advice is to NOT put them in the dryer, but rather, let them air dry; this particular material will last much longer if this approach is taken.
