Fit and Comfort

Pros:

  • "These shorts fit true to size. I wear a 36 inch waist and these were a great fit."
  • "Size is true to size. The material feels great! Almost like not even wearing shorts."
  • "Fit exactly as expected and he wears them often so they're obviously comfortable."
  • "The Waist even has some stretch to them which makes it comfortable swinging a club or other sporting activities."
  • "They fit as expected are the right length and the quality is good."
  • "Fit perfectly and very pleased w/ purchase."
  • "These fit very well and are comfortable."

Cons:

  • "Arrived exactly as promised, but someone must be color blind. I ordered black, but grey is what I got… not even really dark grey."
  • "Unfortunately, the color is much darker than the photo shows and I would say the size is one too tight."
  • "These shorts look terrible when on. The legs are way too baggy."
  • "Had to return due to how badly they fit. Crotch area basically makes up the whole inseam."
  • "I wear a 33” and these were a little too small around the waist in that size."
  • "These are nice looking shorts, however...he was SEVERAL INCHES away from being able to button them."
  • "I'm a 30 waist in almost every piece of clothing I own. I ordered a 30, couldn't put them on."

Material Quality

Pros:

  • "These golf shorts fit as well and look as good as any of my more expensive golf shorts costing 2 to 4 times as much."
  • "The fabric felt very nice and had plenty of stretch."
  • "Material was soft and forgiving that allowed it to conform to my body very well."
  • "They are comfortable, sturdy, and -when on sale- a great value."
  • "These shorts are well built not thin and cheap."
  • "The material seems solid and well-sewn, the rubber inside the waistband is appreciated to help keep golf shirts tucked in."
  • "Very comfortable, lightweight and durable. High quality item."

Cons:

  • "I own 100% stretch shorts...What I got was a pair of 1980 stiff shorts. Total crap."
  • "The material is too thin - you can see through the material."
  • "Advertised as moisture wicking these shorts are very heavy for summer wear."
  • "Ordered these shorts and it is honestly 'you get what you pay for'. They came with 2 dark stains on them."
  • "The quality of the material was horrible for the darker colors."
  • "These shorts I would classify as a dress shorts not a golf short. They have stretch in the fabric, but it is like the jean material that has stretch, they are a heavier less breathable fabric."
  • "The shorts inexplicably split asking the seam at the groin."

Design and Features

Pros:

  • "The shorts have a long enough inseam that they hit right above the knee, which I find to be the goldilocks length for shorts."
  • "The pockets are deep enough so when you ride in the golf cart stuff doesn't fall out."
  • "He says they're perfect for summer and warm weather because they are very breathable."
  • "They are nice and lightweight."
  • "I like the fact that it's dual way elastic fit."
  • "They laundered well with no wrinkles."
  • "Good deep pockets for tees etc."

Cons:

  • "What is weird is that there is a super small pocket on the right side - adjacent to the regular right hand pocket... I suggest the manufacture eliminate the pocket altogether."
  • "Also, not sure what purpose this mini side pocket serves, because it's not big enough to hold more than maybe a few coins."
  • "My only issue is these shorts are pleated (I absolutely HATE pleated pants and shorts)."
  • "They really should mention in the description that these shorts are pleated. For me personally I hate pleated shorts or pants."
  • "The second pocket on the right side drives me crazy."
  • "There is a small pocket inside the right front pocket, but it's too small and shallow to really serve any purpose."
  • "The shorts are true to size, nice material and good length BUT the pockets are not deep enough."
