Good shorts, improve the waistband somehow

I use these for hot yoga and they work great and have held up being constantly washed for the last month except the reflective stripes on the back fell off after the first week of washing. I was hoping they wouldn't be tight compression type shorts but they are. Basically shorter bike shorts with no padding. But I can do all yoga poses and pilates moves without flashing random people.

The white waistband has a wide strip of elastic in it which always seems to get folded and twisted during the wash and I have to spend 30 seconds straightening it out so the waistband doesn't look strange. To help I pulled the waist tie cord out completely. I've been thinking about tacking it in place with a couple stitches but I haven't cared enough to do that yet.

They are lined in the front but after trying them on I decided to add a pair of sports underwear too. They may be lined but they're still very showy.

These are good, not the best. They offer a good amount of compression,  however the material is a bit itchy. these pants are VERY see through when bending or stretching, shorts worn over are a necessity. Other reviewers have said that the waist is baggy and they don't like the drawstring, I had the opposite problem. I fond the waist band to be uncomfortably tight and it bites into my belly. I have a slender athletic build, so it's not a matter of fat around the middle. A size (or 2) up may alleviate this problem but I think that the pants would then lose their compression value. Perhaps these work well with a more curvy figure but personally cannot get comfortable. will continue to use them as they work well enough

They fit in the waist as expected, but are a tad longer than I prefer.  Given what I need them for, they will work.  Feel like they are quality shorts.

I bought these shorts to play soccer in and I'm underwhelmed.  I bought a medium since I prefer smaller shorts for such an active sport.  The pockets in these cause them to not lay very flat and they're way longer than I would assume from the photo and the fact that I bought a medium but generally would wear a large.  The material is nice and the waistband seems like it will be really sturdy, I just wish they fit a bit better.

For the price these are pretty good! The fit can be tricky and I don't necessarily blame the manufactures simply because my weight can fluctuate thus the fit will vary.

But again for the price I think the product is pretty good, durable, and most importantly doesn't show my junk with see through material like many thinner vale tudo type shorts sometimes do.

My only major complaint would be the waist band. From the pictures I thought it would be more of a sewn in elastic band like the shock doctor type of compression shorts. These although similar have a drawstring waist.

That feature actually could be helpful and is fairly common but in this regard it just doesn't work well. I notice the string gets tangle a lot WITHIN the sewn in waist and can be hard to next to impossible to straight out. It doesn't necessarily keep you from being able to tighten the shorts, but they bunch up a bit, get all twisted, and worst of all the string can get lost within the shorts awkwardly even if tied.

I would honestly prefer a fitted one instead of adjustable and just work around that, or a better sewn in drawstring.

Comfortable, but they don't quite cover the tush: They have a tendency to ride up. Waistband is comfy.

They are pretty decent pants, although I think the shorts are a bit too short for me. I wish they had a bit of waterproofing in some key locations; tried using them in wet weather and they soaked up water with unfortunate speed and consistency. The belt that comes with them is basic but serviceable, and they seem to be able to handle what I consider basic wear and tear while hiking.

I just completed my first sprint tri yesterday with these. I give them 5 stars instead of four because of the price. They really were good shorts but had just a little bit too much room in the groin area; the inseam needed to be higher. However; I have quite a big butt and legs from heavy weightlifting which may have been the cause. The waist fit perfect, mine is about 35 inches, but they could have fit someone that was a couple inches bigger, but not someone much smaller. I ordered an extra large due to my thick legs and the fit was really good. The bottoms were tight enough and had a non-slip rubber on the inside that caused them to stay in place directly above the knee instead of riding up, which I liked. They were nice and smooth in the pool, like jammers are for all the swimmers. The extra groin area only caused a little bit of discomfort during the bike and run. There was the perfect amount of padding in the butt for the bike portion. There was no irritation from rubbing on the legs for run portion, and as stated, I have pretty thick legs. I have another sprint tri planned in about a month or so and plan on using these again. I contemplated giving these a 4 but these deserved better than that, even though this is my first pair, because I really did like them. I would say a 4.7 would be appropriate only because of the inseam (groin area) should have been a little higher, but it was either a 4 or a 5 so I gave them a 5. I don't see another product beating these for the cost.

The shorts are good for the price. The fit is a bit long. Im 50 and got the smallest size. The Velcro adjusts easily on the waist.

I prefer the Russell shorts over the Champion for the fact they have a much wider and sturdier waistband. Somehow I always
clip something on the waist, knife or MP3 player so this is my choice.

These are decent shorts. My only complaint is that the leg is a bit too wide which makes the fabric hang weird. I think I can easily alter the leg to fit me so I will be keeping these shorts.

Nice padded underwear and works well.  The fit seems a little off as the legs just seem a little too short.  I have found that I prefer the Baleaf Men's 3D padded Coolmax Underwear shorts as the legs are longer and stay in place better.  I'm not saying these are bad shorts, just that I prefer the others.  These have a mesh type lining which allows for better cooling, and the padding is thick enough to be comfortable on longer rides.  I will continue to use these, along with my other padded shorts, but I probably will not buy again.

Good price and are pretty good quality. However, if you're like me and have regular to muscular thighs, the leg-portion of the shorts WILL rise and bunch around your crotch.

The waistband is much better on UA than it is on the Duluth brand. Started wearing these for motorcycle riding. Now they're all I wear.

I'm very pleased with these shorts. Fit seems a little tight but stretches in placed that's needed. Fabric drys very fast due to it being made from synthetic fabric but does have a plasticy/ synthetic feel. The inside waist band has rubber strips to keep it in place as well as a draw string to tie up. If the Velcro isn't square on the waist line you could feel it scratching your stomach. I wish the Velcro was switched from hard and soft sides. The slit on the side goes up pretty high also so don't go Commando.

Good shorts for the price. I would recommend them!

Nice shorts, but a bit on the slim side. If you're squeezing into a loose-fit 36, you should size up. If you have more bulk in your thighs and glutes, you should probably consider a different cut.

They are well-made and the expandable waist is very nice. I got these for my teenage son. They're a bit tight on him around his hips, but not his waist.  He also feels like they're on the dressy side for most of his summer needs. But that's not a reflection on the shorts; it just wasn't a good match on my part to get them for him.
