Better than some high cost shorts

Light weight, slim fitting, comfortable. Only had them for a short time but I do like them so far. They don't stick to your legs if you are doing deep squats, spits or high kicks. If they had pockets I'd wear them for more then just exercise.

I've been trying to find briefs that don't ride up and these fit the bill. The little bit of Spandex that is in them keeps the shorts held to the leg properly. I was worried about unnatural fibers and sweat but these actually work better than heavier cotton shorts. Look good, color fast with bleach and comfortable.

I really like to have thick, durable, cotton gym shorts, but it seems to be more and more difficult to find them. In local stores I see more made with polyester and othjer fabrics that I don't want. So I took the search online and found these. While I'm willing to put some effort and $ into shorts I don't think they should be particularly expensive. So far I would say these shorts are very good, they are a bit bigger than aferage and thicker too. The string looks like it won't break easy and the shorts look to be of above average quality. The pockets are ok but would have liked them to be deeper. Overall I'm giving 4 stars if they turn out to be extremely durable I may return to bump them up to 5.

Good, true to size fit.  Wash well and similar to much more expensive shorts we have purchased.  The length is good as shown in the pic, the only thing is they are a slimmer fit so measure if you have larger thighs.

I've been using the shorts now for a few weeks. I use them mainly for Kickboxing and Powelifting. So far, they're pretty great! The sizes were pretty accurate and the shorts are really comfortable. I have a pair of $70 shorts, but these are just as good!

I use these under my regular shorts because I don't like to ride with the "outfits" like a lot of the riders have. Just regular clothes work for me, and these shorts are good. Very comfortable and good padding, and I saw the same ones for a much higher price at my local sporting goods store. The size seemed tight at first even though they are the correct size for me but I got used to it and am happy with the purchase, I'll buy them again next time too.

I wear a size 8 in slacks, and I ordered the medium. The legs are a titch tight, but otherwise fit well. If I were to order again, I might choose large. The back dips down rather unexpectedly. The upper inner thighs don't receive much padding protection, but then that is to be expected in a "brief." The longer leg brief might function better. I wore these under longish shorts. All in all, I am pleased with this product, and it's so much more reasonably priced than regular padded bike shorts.

These are some really good shorts. They're a classy off-white color, but have plenty of pockets and are quite comfortable. The waist band has some elastic in it so that there's a little bit of wiggle room in them. The only thing I worry about is stains. I always tend to stain a pair of light-colored shorts within the first couple of times I wear them. That hasn't happened yet with these, but I did just get them at the end of the summer so there's still plenty of time to mess them up. Here's hoping they wash out well when they do get dirty, because they are naturally very light in color.

These shorts fit perfect and look like regular shorts you can wear casually. They are not too baggy and have lots of useful pockets. The one reason I purchased these shorts over the other ZOIC bike shorts is that they have a belt as oppose to the other shorts that only have a snap on button. Having the belt really keeps your shorts from constantly sliding down the waist. the 11 inch leg inseam is also not too long.

I really love these shorts. They're not too short, but definitely not too long. I'm very frustrated by the trend of all athletic shorts getting bigger and bigger and longer and longer. I use these for men's roller derby, and I don't want excess fabric in the contact sport, and I don't want them to interfere with my knee pads. Soccer shorts are okay, but don't have pockets and they are generally expensive.

The fabric is quality. It doesn't get torn up by contact with velcro. I wear a knee brace with square edges, and I've had cheaper, thinner shorts get torn up or cut by the square edges of the knee brace. I've been wearing these for weeks and I don't see a sign of wear even through tough conditions.

Good price, definitely a better by then some of the $40 running name brand shorts for the quality. They run a little bit large surprisingly for Soffe brand, but I just pulled them over once and they are the perfect feel and fit for a running short. They don't flare out at the bottom but still give you room.

Pretty happy with these shorts. They fit well after rolling them up a little bit. They are a bit longer than my preference but roll up really well.

Purchased these shorts to replace other similar Adidas Climalite shorts purchased five years ago at one of the big box shorts stores. The fabric seems to be a more substantial quality, the cut is not as baggy, and the waist band is wider with a stronger elastic making the included drawstring unnecessary.

I've caught my hand on the pocket opening of my older shorts a number of times while using the treadmill and elliptical at the gym...so no pockets is a good thing for me.

The legs on these shorts ends just above my knees, but being 6'5" with a 37" inseam, this is a non-issue.

Ordered two more!

Great price, great look, great shorts!

I wasn't sure the shorts would have enough or quality padding, but they have better padding than any $40 shorts, Great material, I was satisfied.

I have a few of these types of shorts (Reebok, Adidas, etc.) and this one is my favorite. The material is softer and more "satin-y" than the other shorts I have and yet it is sturdy and so far has held up well to a few washings. There is a pocket along each side of the thigh and a small zippered pocket on the back waist band, which would be perfect for a key or two or a folded bill. Not crazy about the little zig zag designs on the front but it's a small thing. I always end up reaching for these shorts over my other ones when I go out for my runs.

In terms of sizing, I am usually a petite 2 and the XS fits me perfectly (very snug especially in the crotch area though not uncomfortable). I have had no problems with camel toe or with the pants riding up. Panty lines slightly noticeable but that's probably more of an issue with the underwear than with the shorts.
