Russell Athletic Men's Mesh Pocket Short

(I did not receive any compensation, discount or free products for my review. I don't work for this company. This is just flat honesty.) The first thing I can say is I am pleasantly surprised that shorts of this quality come at such a low price point. That is a big selling point here. I could buy Nike, but why when I can get the same thing for $11-$12 bucks? That seems like a waste of money. Mind you, I'm not a, "Keep up with the Jones' kind of guy.) So, unless you just have to have a "brand," buy 3 or 4 pair of these instead. **After having having several pair of these shorts for over a month I came back to edit my review from a 4 star rating to a 5. I suppose since I've already ordered several additional pair I really like them. I wear them around the house every day. They are extremely comfortable - not only for relaxing but for yard work, painting, etc. In fact, I like these shorts so much that I hate it when I don't have a pair clean, so like I said, "I ordered more!" I live in central hell, where the summer climate is so hot that the last thing you want to do is work outside or in a hot garage. Yet, the mesh fabric accomplishes its job -matching the description. The mesh allows heat to escape and maintain a cool feeling without trapping in sweat. (Whomever created the fabric should be rich by now.) When beckoned I come in from the garage, sit down at the dinner table and the shorts are throughly dry. *The shorts launder easily and hold up well in hot water and a hot dryer. No special steps required. I don't like athletic shorts that you can't just toss in the dryer. Some expensive shorts state, "Wash only. Hang to dry." That's too much work! Draw string is one piece with a knot below, so you don't have to worry about loosing the string in the washer and then trying to find it and put it back in. (I hate that.) Exercising: I've worked out for 35 years, and I can tell you these are some of the coolest and most comfortable shorts I've ever worn. The pockets are the perfect depth. There is plenty of room to fit my keys and iphone 6-plus. Unlike some shorts, whatever is in my pocket's stays there. It does not fall out. (The manufacturer gets some points there.) I don't have to worry about loosing my keys, an adventure I'd rather skip. (Of course, be logical.) I wouldn't recommend engaging in heavy athletic activities with expensive items in your pocket, yet I can wear the shorts to make a quick trip to the store without my phone falling out. Importantly, there is plenty of room in the circumference of the legs to allow for men with very muscular thighs. The fabric stretches a bit, but will not remain stretched out. If you have huge thighs you might consider ordering a size larger than normal unless you fancy very tight shorts? I've never had that issue. There is ample room in the crotch for any man; however, be aware that you will not get any athletic support from the shorts. So, depending you your preference and need you may wish to wear protection underneath. Lastly, the shorts are a bit longer than I expected. The waist to knee measures 19" and the crotch to bottom of shorts is 13". I am 6'3", and the bottom meets the top of my knee. That is a thorough review of the shorts. I hope it helps you make an educated decision.

Love those shorts . Have had try few different types, but this was perfect.Very comfortable. Material feels very soft.I got x-larg , Fits perfect

Elastic waistband is small for the size of the rest of the shorts (big butt with smaller waist) compared to other brand's of similar size). Quality fabric and construction. Loose fitting style so good mobility. Material thickness is somewhat thick but ventilated so Ok for hot days. Comfortable.

Big comfy and lots and lots of room!. Great price point.

High quality like all Russell products I purchase and own. I recommend this product for its durable design, deep pockets, and great color options available. Comfortable and great for the gym.

Just as good as champion quality, mesh is cool and dries quick and great for basketball and just lounge wear.

These shorts feel great when wearing. Comfortable but they are thin. The seams aren’t that great. Mine developed a whole in crotch 2 days after wearing them. Nice and stretchy.

Well made. Fits well. Price is excessive.

Fits nicely, perfect for summer

These shorts were definitely worth the buy. A lot better than I had expected, and here's why: -the shorts a very comfy. That may be due to the mesh being a little bit bigger in perforations as compared to other mesh shorts. The perforations are big enough to provide more than enough breathing room and ventilation, but not so big that the shorts are super-see through. -the material not only feels good but looks good. I ordered the green colorway and it looks really nice. I'm even planning on making another order, that is if I decide whether or not these are better quality than Champion branded shorts. -it has pockets which is a must for me when it comes to shorts I plan to use on a consistent basis to be able to hold my keys and wallet. -the drawstring is also strong enough so that if I were to have my phone, keys and wallet in my pockets, the shorts won't drop. All in all, these shorts are really nice, both for home use and outdoor use for walking and sports alike. If I were able to help you make a purchase, or help you prevent from making one you'd regret. Then all I ask is you thumbs up my review saying it was helpful, because knowing I helped someone out means a lot.

Took this for Asian travel and it was exactly what I wanted. Comfortable and the length is perfect. And good value for money too.
