baleafMen's 3” Running Shorts Gym Quick Dry Athletic Workout Pocket Lightweight Brief

These shorts were just what I expected. They are very lightweight and perfect for running. My waist size is about 29" and I ordered the small. Perfect fit. The liner is very comfortable. The liner has elastic around the leg holes which I thought might be uncomfortable but it's not at all. I have other shorts without liners that I run in, and for those I wear briefs. The liner in these shorts fits looser than the briefs, but not too loose, and keep things cooler than briefs. The little key pocket on the inside of the waistband (right front) is ideal. The only thing that is slightly imperfect is the tag in the back. There are two and the care instructions one is really long. They are soft, but still noticeable. The shorts wash well, and air dry quickly. Especially considering the price these are an excellent value. I will likely buy at least one more pair as I retire some of my older shorts.

I have been looking for shorts that were comparable to our racing shorts in high school cross country and track without spending $30-60. These are awesome! They size fit is perfect, I am a 30 waist and 5'7 so I went with medium. I also bought a small pair to race in. I now have 3 different colors and plan on adding to my collection here soon. I suggest ordering one pair, tray out the size, and then re-order.Cons: only con I can come up with is that the netting is a little tight in the groin area. I am a little worried about chaffing during future long runs.Pros: cheap, reliable, light-weight, familiar feel, great waist fit

The shorts themselves are true to size. The inner underwear is too tight around my upper thigh, as it will cut through my skin if I wore them on a long run or walk. This is the pair with the drawstring, and the underwear appears to be made for small rather than a medium. The pair without the drawstring fits fine.The quality is great and they are very light. Only time will tell how they hold up after a dozen washes and workouts. I will take a chance and order more without the drawstring, as they fit the waist perfectly.

Being only 5’ 7” tall makes finding gym/athletic shorts that don’t come down to, or below, my knees a nearly impossible proposition. Today’s style of long athletic shorts is beyond my understanding. According to a lot of people, some I know, many I don’t, I have very attractive, muscular legs. Part of that is bc I’ve worked on them with lots of squats and related exercises. With shorts that come so far down my legs, they make squats and many other leg exercises very difficult. I find myself tucking my shorts into the built-in athletic liner/shorts, which looks goofy and feels uncomfortable. So, I decided to try these “running” shorts with the very flexible vents on each side. In terms of performance and wearability they’re fantastic. They certainly look a bit different from what most others in the gym are wearing, but I care very little about that considering how well they work and How well they allow a level of freedom of movement that most of today’s gym shorts just don’t provide. The extremely attractive price immediately erased the little bit of hesitation I had, and now wear them several times per week. I can safely say that I’ll be buying additional pairs very soon! Overall, a great purchase!

I bought these because I was tired of running in soccer shorts that got weighed down with sweat. These were Perfect! I just did a 5 mile run in about 85% humidity and these performed as advertised. I was a bit worried at first because there was no drawstring, but they stayed in place even as I began to sweat. As others have noted, these are short so be prepared to look like a runner when you put them on. If I had to nitpick, I would say that there is a little extra fabric in the crouch, so they may look a little funny when you're just standing there. They feel great to run it in though. Light, airy and restriction free.For sizing. I'm usually a 30" waist in pants. The small worked for me.

Three stars, who is this guy, what does he know?Let's get real here, these are $20 split shorts from China. How do they compare to my Brooks or New Balance split short? They don't. They're $20 shorts from china.Here's the real info: For $20, they are fantastic. I'll do most of my training runs in these and will love doing it. The listing says they have a pocket, which technically they do; but it's a tiny little mesh pocket inside the mesh lining the isn't big enough to hold a standard size GU. I'll be fine with this, I can keep all my junk in handhelds.Size:I ordered two pairs, a grey pair in small and a white pair in medium, since I didn't know which size I would end up wearing. For reference I am 70" tall, 155lbs, and can jam 1 or 2 fingers between the waistband on 32" waist pants. The size small fit me perfect, the medium are too big. Do with that information what you will.Pros:-They are way cheaper than name brand split shorts and do the exact same job of keeping me from exposing myself when I'm jogging through my neighborhood.-Mesh liner on the inside has the right balance between tight enough and not too tight to keep my garbage from flopping, but not losing circulation-there's a mesh bit on the sides that may or may-not help with airflow. The jury is still out on this one, but even if it's just placebo effect, I like it.Cons:-For split shorts they are pretty heavy. I don't have a scale to weight them, but compared to my Brooks split shorts, they are way heavier. I'm not a professional runner (if I was I wouldn't be buying these) so I doubt the few extra grams will slow me down enough to keep me from a podium; but they were just heavier than I expected.- The advertised pocket is just a tiny little mesh pocket as previously mentioned. You could put some loose change for the phone booth, or one single key (without a keyring) in it, but not much more. It'll be rubbing up against your waist and pubic area once it's in there too, so you'll probably get a blister in a very uncomfortable spot if you don't plan your pocket use out wisely.Overall impression:I'll probably buy a few more pairs because I don't like shelling out $50 for a bit of fabric to cover my nethers when $20 will do the job the same. Do you get more with Name brand? Yeah, maybe; but I'm not picky and I'll adapt to what I have. A pocket that fits a GU would be kinda nice.
