Customers say
Customers find these shorts comfortable and appreciate their beautiful colors, considering them good value for the price, with one customer noting they’re well-made for the price point. The quality and size receive mixed feedback – while some say they’re holding up well, others mention the material feels cheap and thin, and while some find the small size appropriate, others say they run small. The pocket size is a concern, with customers noting they’re not deep enough and have holes.

Comfy shorts for lounging inside
I bought this set for my boyfriend. They are very comfy shorts. Perfect for lounging inside around the house. However, they are very thin and don’t have a liner on the inside. So they might not be good for wearing outdoors. But my boyfriend was looking for shorts for inside. He wears them under his sweatpants in the winter and to bed.

Make sure they are tied at all tims
I have ordered these twice with only about 2 months in between orders.They are lightweight and comfortable. Problem is, the draw string comes out in the wash/dryer. I have learned my lesson ordered again this time made sure I tied them right before going into the wash. No luck, they came united and the strong came out again.

Great 5-pack shorts that actually work.
These mesh shorts are really comfortable and perfect for working out – they don’t ride up and the pockets are deep enough for my phone. Great deal for getting 5 pairs!

Bang for the buck
It’s fine for gym wear. Material is pretty thin but not too bad. Pockets are fine. They are holding well and not falling apart.

Solid Value, But Could Use a Little More Structure
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.

I bought these incase I didn’t find any others before going on holiday. Thought they were a bit on the expensive side and that if I found cheaper I’d return them.Well I was so supprised! I love them! All my other shorts can go in the bin! These are comfortable, and look good even in big sizes. I took them to tobago and was comfortable in 34° temperatures and then came back to London and wore them in 20° and was equally happy in them. They stretch where they need to, they hang loose where they need to. I’m super impressed and will buy again!

The cords are so short, you can’t attach both ends together.The pockets are so small, they won’t hold a penny.This cannot be sold for more than 20$.Buy 1 size larger, they are small
