Comfort and Fit

Pros:

  • "The shorts are very comfortable and fit well."
  • "These are very comfortable to wear."
  • "They are comfy and are such a bargain!"
  • "These shorts are great, with a nice relaxed look and fit."
  • "Medium fits perfect! (They shrunk a little in the wash, not much, actually fit better afterwards.)"
  • "They fit well and very comfortable through the waist and hips and the length of them were perfect."
  • "They are very comfortable, as far as the texture of the fabric."

Cons:

  • "Now the material is stiff, it doesn't fit as well and the pockets aren't as deep."
  • "The gray pair has a lower cotton percentage, and doesn't feel as lightweight breezy as the black pair."
  • "These shorts are very thick. The shorts are bulky at the waistband and the legs are very wide."
  • "Runs large. I usually take a large or extra large but ordered a large. It's a bit too big."
  • "I probably should have ordered a medium based on other reviews, but I ordered a large, and they are like a tent on me."
  • "The smallest size is still huge on a 26-28in waist."
  • "The Large was much too large even for the loose fit I wanted."

Material Quality

Pros:

  • "The material isn't what I'd consider rough, it's not soft like fleece, but it feels like basic cotton on the skin."
  • "They wash & dry well. Not heavy or thick but also not paper thin."
  • "Washed well without shrinking or fading."
  • "Even after machine washing, they look and feel brand new."
  • "The fabric washes well without pilling."
  • "The fabric is soft and has a gentle stretch to it."
  • "The fabric is extremely soft even after being washed several times."

Cons:

  • "The material is thicker than I expected so they are not especially stretchy but still comfortable."
  • "The fabric is thicker than I expected and is stiffer and a bit roughish to the touch."
  • "Not very soft which I expected soft since they're advertised as 'jersey'."
  • "The fabric on these shorts is not soft. They also seem to run small."
  • "The material is scratch and the elastic band barely is elastic."
  • "The fabric is too thick for sleeping comfort and especially because of the added fabric for the pockets."
  • "These are a bit 'stiff'. They are not soft and nice to the touch like my other gym shorts."

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "They are flattering enough to wear shopping (with a cute top, of course)."
  • "The waistband is nice & wide and doesn’t roll or dig."
  • "Love the pockets! My iPhone fits without the threat of falling out."
  • "The pockets work well to hold a cell phone or light items, which was the big selling point for me."
  • "I love the deep pockets!"
  • "The pockets are roomy, which I think is a big plus since womens shorts and pants often have tiny pockets."
  • "The pockets are big enough to keep my phone in safely while squatting, sitting, etc."

Cons:

  • "The shorts were nice except for one thing. It has a wide elastic waistband and the elastic inside is all twisted."
  • "They have pockets which are nice but they bunch where attached at the waist band."
  • "To my surprise, after an hour of wear the seam came undone and I was mooning my entire household lol."
  • "The ribbon in the waistband is not flexible (although the waistband itself is flexible with elastic) so you would need to readjust to what is comfortable for you and then retie."
  • "The pockets are double stitched and one line of stitching came unravelled in the charcoal ones."
  • "The thing that I notice is that the stitching around the drawstring holes are very weak and need to be reinforced."
  • "The tag is vertical in the back, which means if you wear a thong the tag goes in/rubs in between your cheeks."
