Amazon Essentials 2 Pack Loose Fit Performance Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "Have had them for almost a year and they’re holding up nice."
• "I bought 2 pair of black shorts 2 years ago for a swim party. 2 years later they are still going strong."
• "They wash up well, no color fading nor shrinkage."
• "I’ve had these shorts since Sept 2019 (it’s now March 2020). I bought 4 pairs since I work out 4 times a week and I’ve noticed no difference in the quality of these shorts since the day I received them."
• "It's a year later and my original pair have not faded or torn."
• "Purchased a set of these two years ago and they are still in great shape."
• "I’ve had these for several months now and they have held up better than most basketball shorts I’ve purchased."

Cons:

• "They are very low quality... Don’t expect them to last for more than one season."
• "Decided to join a gym a few months back. I purchased these less than 3 months ago... When I used them for the gym, I noticed the seam was coming apart."
• "I should have assumed the quality would be low based on the price, but the stitching started falling apart after one wash."
• "Material is thin so don’t expect to last long. Great deal during prime deals."
• "They seem thinner and of a lesser quality. I don't expect them to last much longer than a year."
• "After washing these shorts have already started to thread out at the legs."
• "The material pilled up pretty badly and the waistband is worn out and they have to be tossed out now after only 8 months."

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "Fit perfectly, material feel good against skin."
• "The waste band is comfortable and good quality with just the right mount of elasticity."
• "The loose-fit design provides ample room for movement."
• "They fit and are really comfortable."
• "These shorts are roomy and comfortable with nice deep side pockets and stretchy waistband which I love."
• "Lightweight, breathable and feels comfortable."
• "Perfect for summer. Lightweight, comfortable waistline elastic and drawstrings."

Cons:

• "Not as comfortable as I thought they would be. The inseam is a bit short, and the material is breathable, but far from soft."
• "These ran small and were made from flimsy material. Much lower quality."
• "Way too small, it doesn't fit, made an order for 44 inch waist being a 42, asked one size up, just to make sure they fit, no way...this 44 inch are more like 40 skinny sized."
• "Material is very thin and breathable, but slides right down without proper security from drawstring or elastic waistband at all."
• "These were for running, but the pockets are too deep, and the pocket material is too flexible."
• "They are smaller and cheaper fabric."
• "Shorts are tight at thighs and big at waist."

Quality and Material

Pros:

• "These shorts are awesome. Comfortable, fit great and you can wear to the gym or lounging around the house."
• "Good for workout, sleeping, or working on the yard."
• "These shorts are great for what they are- cheap shorts... However, they do a good job of covering your lower body in a casual setting."
• "These shorts really surpassed my expectations!"
• "The material is soft, and the length of the shorts is perfect for him."
• "These shorts are awesome for working out. They are comfortable and breathable and the pockets are very useful."
• "These are much nicer than expected. A very fine soft knit."

Cons:

• "However, they snag and rip very easily."
• "They don't shrink. They don't lose color."
• "The only downside would be the fabric feels thin."
• "Material is thinner than most Jersey mesh shorts, and it makes the shirts themselves have a looser fit at the waist."
• "The fabric looks fine but is slightly thinner so these might not be as long-wearing."
• "These performance tech loose-fit shorts receive a mixed 3-star rating from me... they are cheaply made."
• "They are made of that cheap dreaded material that snags and causes runs by simply brushing against something."
