### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Shorts
  

*by E***9 on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2019*

I’m a big fan of Birddog shorts and these seemed similar when I saw them and they are about half the price. Now that I have them I can say that they are more then similar - they seem identical. Same style, same stitching, same fit and same color. Only difference is the color of the liner and the color of the pocket zipper. Not sure how they will holdup, but time will tell.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Close but not quite Birddogs
  

*by B***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2019*

I bought this because some other reviews said they were clones of Birddogs. These are close but off just enough that I returned them. For one, the materials seem a little cheaper. The main material may be slightly thinner, and the liner isn’t as soft or cool feeling.Also, these Freeballers aren’t as fitted. I measured them versus my birddogs. I have Larges in both, which fit waist sizes 32-34. Laying flat, the unstretched waist opening on both is 14”. The Freeballers are 3/4” longer (17”) than the Birddogs (16.25”) and the leg opening laying flat is 1/2” wider on these (12.25”) compared to Birddogs (12.75”). Attached are my Grey Birddogs laying on top of these black Freeballers for comparison.It’s a small difference but for 15 dollars more I’ll get the ones I know fit me great and will probably last longer.

    I need more of these, you probably do to (just don't buy out inventory before me!)
  

*by S***G on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2019*

My friend has been raving about his Birddogs this summer, so I wanted to try something similar. Having never worn Birddogs, I bought the Ol' Faithfuls last week and LOVE them. I wore them 3 days straight (2 days with underwear as an every day short, 3rd day without for a long run), and they look great with t-shirts, collared shirts, active tops, or solo. They are extremely comfortable, seem very well-made, and can perform in pretty much any non-cold weathered activity that I can think of. The pockets are really nice (two front hand pockets, two side zippered pockets with different orientation).Activities these have gone through already: sitting in a conference room for 2 hours, 6+ hours of walking, 4+ hours of biking, lounging around the house, 8 mile run, and playing at a water park "splash pad" with my daughter. I wore these freeball, as intended, on my 8 mile run pushing a stroller in 90F CO heat, and they felt great (I'm picky about running shorts). I then kept my phone in a zippered pocket while playing with water jets with my 1yo daughter, and my phone stayed dry! I could pop it out, take pictures/videos, and secure my phone again. These shorts aren't supposed to be waterproof, but they sure kept my phone dry, and then the shorts felt completely dry 20 minutes later for me to run back home.
