Solid Mesh Basketball Active Shorts – Outdoor Ready – Gym Essential

So, I was a little concerned when I first got these. They looked quite small, more like something one of my older kids would wear than I. But they do, in fact, fit. The elastic is very, well, elastic, and does stretch as needed. They're single-layer, great for warm weather exercise. Colors are very uniform and solid. The drawstring looks like a strong shoestring, which is a good thing, and is not sewn in place in the back. I prefer it not be sewn in place, as it is much easier to replace if it wears out. These are good athletic shorts that will last.

I got these because I’ve been working out more lately (look at me making responsible life choices), and my old gym shorts were basically retired veterans from a different era of my life. These HQUEC mesh shorts? Upgrade. They’re lightweight, breathable, and actually feel like athletic shorts—not just glorified pajama bottoms pretending to support fitness goals. The quick-dry material is great for sweaty workouts, which is important because apparently “elliptical enthusiasm” is my thing now. But the real MVP feature? Zippered pockets. Absolute game changer. I can put my phone and keys in there without living in constant fear of them launching out mid-squat or during a treadmill sprint that lasts a very confident 90 seconds. They fit well, move easily, and don’t ride up or bunch weirdly. Whether you’re running, lifting, playing basketball, or just aggressively walking while pretending it’s cardio, these get the job done. Comfortable, functional, and secure-pocket approved. 10/10 would sweat in again.

These men’s shorts are easily some of the most comfortable I’ve owned. The fabric is soft, lightweight, and breathable—perfect for warm weather or just lounging around the house. They have just the right amount of stretch, so they move with you without feeling tight or restrictive. The fit is spot on—not too baggy and not too slim—and the waistband is super comfortable with a secure drawstring that keeps everything in place. I also appreciate the pockets being deep enough to actually hold my phone and keys without worrying about them falling out. They’ve held up well after multiple washes with no shrinking or fading, which is always a big plus. Whether you’re working out, running errands, or just relaxing, these shorts are a solid go-to. Overall, great quality, great comfort, and definitely worth picking up a pair (or two).

I'm not sure there's a whole lot to say here. They're gym shorts. The material is a pretty typical - 100% polyester, so always good for moisture wicking. Stitching all seems fine and no quality or comfort concerns after gym time. I got the dark grey in M. I wear size 36 and these were just a touch snug, but that's perfectly fine as I'm sure they'll break in and fit great in no time. While zippered pockets are perhaps a bit atypical for gym shorts, I don't mind - for the most part. But here comes the catch... If you're doing strength or low impact cardio, then no issues. However, if you're doing something high impact, e.g. running, those metal pull tab on the metal zipper teeth are going to give you a fun little soundtrack of *clink*... *clink*... *clink*... *clink*... with each step. If you've got earbuds in or are in the zone, no big deal. If you're listening to the world around you, it's going to get annoying fast. Not really a deal breaker but worth noting regardless. Overall, at a (current) price point of $20, these feel like a good buy, noisy zippers aside.

Fit great feel great wearing them cool in hot temps washand. Dry great wet good value for cost
