Amazon EssentialsMen's Performance Tech Loose-Fit Shorts (Available in Big & Tall), Pack of 2

Good quality, comfortable, fits well, and very functional

Best everyday use shorts on Amazon! I go to the gym with them, take short hikes with them or even just to chill at home. Excellent quality and very comfortable. I’m 6’7” tall at 245lbs and the US XXL fit me perfectly. The fabric is stretchy and breathable. Smooth to the touch, yet very durable. Can fit my iPhone 13 Pro Max, AirPods and car keys in a single pocket. The black ones are my favorite, but the grey has since grown on me.

I have bought 8 pairs of these shorts. Some of them I absolutely LOVE. The rest of them truly SUCK!!!! They come in packs of 2. I don't know HOW to rate these? The good ones I'd give 5 stars but the "bad" ones, I'd only give 1 or 2 stars!!The GOOD ones fit well, have nice elastic and the tie strings are just for "back up" to the elastic holding the shorts up. The Elastic is good enough that I can pull the shorts up and down without having to untie them. They have 2 pockets. The pockets are nice and deep, but for some reason, when I sit down and lean back, relaxed, Stuff DOES FALL OUT of the pockets! I'm not sure how/why. I keep my cell phone in one pocket and it falls out. I keep "stuff" (Pocket knife, flashlight, etc.) in the other pocket and it also falls out. But ONLY while I'm sitting, leaned back, relaxed. Everything stays in my pockets, perfectly well, while I'm out and about, doing chores, walking, bending over, doing normal, every day things. The strings have held up well on all the shorts. The shorts with good elastic, the strings are great. I LOVE them and I think they are WELL WORTH THE MONEY!That's the good.Here's the bad:SOME (approximately HALF THE SHORTS I'VE BOUGHT) don't seem to have much, if ANY, ELASTIC in them. I HAVE to cinch those strings up TIGHT to keep the shorts on. And that HURTS my stomach!! I HATE those shorts. They are MISERABLE to have to wear and were a WASTE OF MY MONEY!! I have to UNTIE and RETIE the strings EVERY TIME I want to pull the shorts down.Would I buy these again?? "Probably" in HOPES that I could get some more GOOD pairs, but I tell you, at the rate of HALF of them being "no good", that makes the good ones be PRETTY EXPENSIVE!I'm not sure if I could/would "recommend" these shorts or not. If you get some GOOD ones, they are well worth the money. But if you get the ones with LITTLE to NO ELASTIC in them, they aren't worth ANYTHING. Just a waste of money.I guess, in the end, all I can say is:BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I have 10 pairs of these shorts and love them. They look great, fit great, are well constructed, are durable and perfect for everything from working out with weights, mountain biking, running, Crossfit, working in the yard and around the house or just lounging around.Sometimes "performance' tech type shorts are very light and not heavy enough to hang properly. That can lead to rise and static cling but that's not the case with these shorts. These shorts are light enough to be cool, comfortable and quick drying but heavy enough to hang properly and not develop a lot of static cling.I'll be buying more in a variety of colors.

I wear athletic shorts around the house regularly, and I like these. For the price and fit, they’re pretty good. Seem well made. Pockets are food size and my phone and keys don’t fall out. Will probably order some more since they’re pretty cheap.

2nd purchase of these shorts. Fit my husband well- not too short, not too long. He is aprx 5'11" & got a large. Comfortable & are his go to for gym shorts

Comfy! Great value!

$27 for a couple pairs simple shorts like these seems a little on the expensive end, but they are very lightweight and comfortable enough. My main issue with these shorts is the construction of the pockets. Often times when I am running, I like to keep keys, phone, or other small things in my pockets. These pockets are rather deep and though you could prob fit quite a few things in them, they are way too loose. Even just walking with my car keys in my pocket, I can feel the entire pocket swinging back and forth and hitting my leg. This is even further exacerbated when running! You pretty much cannot run with anything in your pockets with these shorts, which is quite infuriating. I have a cheap pair of shorts I got at wal-mart for less than $8 and although the quality isn't as nice, the shorts are still somewhat lightweight, comfortable, and the pockets are much tighter, or rather stitched more into place, so that items within the pockets don't swing around everywhere.. Personally, I think this is a major design flaw, but I think if this was fixed, these shorts would be perfect for everyday things and working out. It should be an easy fix and I hope the next time I need some new shorts, they will have implemented better pockets!
