They are thick material like spandex shorts

Contrary to most people reviewing these, my intent was to wear them as racing bottoms for track meets. They are thick material like spandex shorts, somewhat similar to a bathing suit. In fact, I own the spandex shorts version of these bottoms and wanted to try what us collegiate athletes refer to as "buns." I searched all over the internet for these buns an finally found the pair I was looking for but they were in an extra small. I bought them anyways to see if they would work. I have a larger butt than most people my size. They fit well, but after a test run, I decided they were too small to wear without riding up. I found a pair of these in a small elsewhere and they fit better. So if you are looking to by these as a thinner version of running briefs, I want you to be aware that these are meant to be worn without shorts/pants over them; however, looking at the other reviews it appears that most of the purchasers seem to enjoy them regardless.

I like how they are all the way up to the waist and I like how thick the material is

Rugged shorts made of thick material. I am pleased with the color and the fit.

I was surprised by the type of material, I guess I didn't read the description fully. It's almost like a spandex fabric, but it's nice if you want to stay cool. This is more of a shirt than a sweater.

5'9"-5'10" male, ~170 lbs, 32 waist pants, athletic build. Purchased the medium size. Material is much thicker than I expected, almost a felt-like texture on the inside lining. I'm probably going to sweat buckets in this thing, but I'll still wear it. Waist fits snugly without needing to tie the strings, but if I were to get fatter, I'd probably think these were too tight. Medium-large is a good bet. There are a lot of features like internal pockets for mouth guards which is great. I'm concerned that these shorts won't dry fast enough during a week of heavy use, air drying.

The cut is above the knee, but just barely. Kinda wish they were shorter.

I DID NOT REALIZE WHEN i ORDERED THEM THAT THEY HAD NO SPANDEX IN THEM AND AS A RESULT THEY STAY SOMEWHAT LARGE AND ARE BULKY.  nOTHING WRONG WITH THE COMPANY. THEY DELIVERED THEM EARLIER THAN EXPECTED. AND THE FIT IS APPROPRIATE FOR WHAT THEY ARE.

A lot thicker than I expected, and they fit great. They are more cotton than spandex like I wanted but it's ok. They pick up lint too but all in all worth the price
I am 5"2 110 pounds and got a small
They didn't show through

Well I feel like I am wearing a diaper, but anything to add some padding to my seat! I wear them under shorts in case my friends see... they seen long enough but I never was one for spandex man.

Fits TIGHT but hugs in all the right places and smooths things out. The material is thick and like spandex, but somehow it's totally see through! I can see the line of my underwear (no matter how tiny!) and even some of my cellulite on my thighs. Gross. Maybe I should've gone up a size but I just feel uncomfortable in this.

More of a swim trunk then volley ball shorts.  Stiff material but fits well.

The foam (chamois) is thick, of good density and works well. Very comfortable on long rides. I think it's a bit bigger than it should be. All it's needed is an area a bit bigger than the saddle surface. But it's much bigger, so you feel it, like wearing a diaper.
The spandex material is a bit thinner than expected, Not quite see through, but barely.
Unlike the waist band, there's no elastic on the leg openings, which aren't stretchy enough compared to my other shorts. I don't have super thick thighs, but I do feel bothered by the leg openings digging into my thighs. If you have thick thighs this shorts may not be for you.
I'd say, overall, it's a good value. Not perfect, but the price makes up for its faults. You get what you paid for. I wouldn't mind paying a bit more to get better quality.

I like these  :)  Nice material.  It says 95% cotton and 5% percent spandex but they do not look like it.  The material is thick and stretchy but very sleek, fit you well.  I wish it had a pocket.  I would buy these again.  I will consider longer ones when fall comes around.  These are perfect to ride my bicycle in.  I bought a medium and I am 5'2" about 120 lbs and muscular legs.  They fit perfect.

the fit is accurate to the size chart but they are more like leggings than tights. they are pretty thick and the color is lighter than pictured. what was really unexpected even though they are mostly polyester then are super shiny leotard type material.

I'm a size 16 and I can barely squeeze them on. Then my thighs look like a playdo play place once I get them on. Colors are pretty, and they are kind of thick and run easily. The material they are made of it almost as thick as thermal leggings, comfy and no seems, but kind of thick for under-shorts.

The fit of these is nice, they seemed long when I first tried them on, but they shrunk a little in the wash and are now a good length. The material is so thick that if they are not the perfect length they look weird. The material is heavy duty so I think they will hold up well.  Also, if they sit in the dryer for a little bit they wrinkle and the wrinkles are pretty stubborn.

I purchased these for my daughter who plays volleyball at the high school level. They are required to wear spandex and as a conservative mother I love the length of these. They will still pass as dress code but are a little longer than your average volleyball spandex. Made from good quality material. My daughter loves them. She said they are very comfortable and do not ride and bunch as other brands have in the past. The inseam is 4.5 inches and goes a little below the crease in your leg. Great product!!
