### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    These shorts rock!
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2017*

These shorts are way better than I expected. I got the black shorts. Nice quality. The material is light weight and breezy, and very comfortable. It is a crepe fabric, so it does not drape-reveal like the thin knit materials do. They fit me great; the large size just right for my 33" waist on my slim, no-butt frame. Length falls right in the middle of the knee. They do not bind or rub, especially on the front of the legs like so many shorts do. The inseam doesn't pull up the butt crack. My iPhone 6s just disappears into the large zippered pockets. Note: the mesh sides go all the way up the sides so it is better not to wear white underwear.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    very flimsy
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2018*

These shorts are so flimsy. No way are they worth $25. Zippers on the pockets. Don't need to use them because both of the pockets weren't finished. Holes in both of them. The stripe down the side is hardly noticeable because it's the same color as as the rest of the fabric. Nothing like the picture. Would not buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Quality and Material
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018*

I like to wear 'dri-fit' material and this is exactly what I was looking for. For those who don't know what that is, it is similar to water resistant, dry cloth that is slightly less absorbent than cotton. That would be the best way I can explain it. I personally like using shorts with this material because it dries fast, is breathable and very lightweight.The only thing that I WOULD change about this is the way the zipper pockets are set up. Instead of having one zipper pocket set aside from the normal, open pockets they have made the two usual front pockets into zippers. Its not a big enough reason to not get these shorts HOWEVER, I like the zipper to keep things in that I don't want to fall out. Ill forget that the zipper is closed and it will just take an extra second or two to unzip, do what I need to do and then zip back up. Having a pocket without a zipper would be a little more convenient. The good heavily outweighs the bad in this product and I highly recommend this to anyone who is in search for something similar.
