Real Essentials5 Pack: Men’s 9" Mesh Shorts – Athletic Gym, Workout, Basketball, Running, Casual Lounge Activewear Pockets

Excellent quality for the price. Nice thickness of fabric. Washes and wears well. Colors are as pictured. I’ve purchased 3 packs of these. Cool and comfy. Soft comfortable waist band and nice pockets. Seems to be durable and stands up to the punishment of my 16 year old son. For reference I bought 3x. They fit him fine but he likes them a bit loose. The waist is 21 inches across and they are 21 inches long. My son is a big guy. 6 feet tall 275lbs. Hope this helps!

Great quality! Nice stretch. Nice feeling of the fabric. Great for those fast growers that only last a season! Cheap for decent quality!

These shorts are quite comfortable and fit very nicely, however, you certainly get what you pay for in quality. After my first wear, two of the shorts had already begun unraveling slightly. However, a quick snip of the loose threads have held off that problem for the time being.In terms of appearance, they do really look nice in person! The designs are what you would expect from a far more expensive shorts brand, while only setting you back a small fraction of the price. In terms of sportswear, they're very stretchy and lightweight while not feeling overly cheap (despite my issues with the loose threads). For the price, I'm quite happy and can easily recommend these, as long as you're comfortable with these not lasting for many years.

My husband really wears these all the time because they are so comfortable. They are not the thickest but aren't too thin so they are ideal for summertime. They were true to size which makes them so durable with all the washes and have not stretched out of normal placement. Good to purchase.

Fits great, comfortable, and affordable especially in the heat!

When it comes to picking the right pair of athletic shorts, it’s all about the balance between comfort, fit, and functionality. The Real Essentials Men’s Athletic Basketball Shorts have certainly established themselves as a budget-friendly option worth considering, but they come with a few caveats that potential buyers should keep in mind.Starting with the positives, the fit of these shorts is generally good. They offer enough room to allow for movement, making them a decent pick for both basketball and other athletic pursuits. However, I found the material to be slightly light around the center area, which may lead to a feeling of less support than expected. This could be a minor inconvenience for some, as it doesn’t provide the snug fit some athletes prefer.Additionally, the shorts tend to be a bit loose at the bottom, which can contribute to a slightly sloppy appearance, especially if you're looking for more tailored athletic wear. I noticed that they also have a tendency to cling to the skin, which might not be the most ideal situation during intense games or workouts.On the flip side, the value for the price is commendable. For a budget-friendly pack of basketball shorts, you get a solid product that competes well within its price range. They come in a variety of colors, allowing for some personalization in your gym or court wardrobe.In summary, if you’re in the market for a basic pair of athletic shorts and are willing to overlook some fit inconsistencies at the center and bottom, Real Essentials has a decent offering. Just be prepared for a little extra skin contact than you might be used to. Overall, these shorts deserve a solid three-star rating for their value and functionality—but with a bit of tweaking to the fit, they could easily elevate to something more remarkable.

The material isn't as thick as I'd like, but I really like these shorts. Good length, nice fit, and the pockets are a nice feature.Oh, I need more color options.

If you're 5'6 these shorts will perfectly overlap your knees without going too far, The fabric is nice and airy, and they are flexible. The pockets are like the perfect size, tight, and at a good side spot for most guys where you could use your phone for music on a run with your for wallet for safe keeping, without it flapping around and banging your legs or the jewels. The fabric also feels fairly durable. Pretty good value and style for a five pack! The only thing that could make these shorts even better is if they had a zipper for the pockets
