So, I’m not the type of person to write reviews and especially not for gym shorts. That being said, these are the best value gym shorts I’ve ever came across. I typically workout in Reebok, Under Armor, Nike,…but these shorts best them all. No more swamp ass or soaked car seats post workout because these breatheso well. My only complaint would be that the zipper pockets are a bit irregular but in no way do they hurt my workouts. I’ve purchased 4 pair so far and have no issues with longevity of the shorts or them being shredded in the wash. Highly highly recommend.Having had a few pairs of shorts from this company which worked out well in the gym and for biking and jogging as well, I decided to get these. I like the style and quality. My only problem, which may be unique to me, is that they ride up in the crotch like shorts on a fat kid. I'm not a fat kid, though. I do have thick legs and not a lot of space in between. These are the shortest Anthem shorts I've worn (5"), and the lightest material, it seems. Those might be factors. The other pairs I've had were 7" and the material seems thicker. Nor do I have this problem with any other shorts or pants, in eneral. I really like these, otherwise. I'll wear them a couple more times to see how it goes.shorts are great quality and fit well, had a pull in one of the pairs and they replaced it no questions asked.Love the drop pockets. Great for working out in gym. Will buy again.A little billowy, but helps to cool you off too. Waistband is great, not overly tight yet and while the tie string is tied in a bow I can leave it loose as there is plenty of waistband stretch.Material is great for gym.A good pair of work out shorts, very comfortable and fit as expected. The zip up side pickets are located on the hip and are deep enough for a larger cell phoneI’ll start by saying that five minutes after putting on my first pair I ordered another pair.Very comfortable! Great waist stretch.The color selection could be better. Two different blacks and grays but where’s the tanCream khaki gold side of things.ButIt’s the pockets and length that are major letdown here.Their description says the 5 inch inseam will fall 3-4 inches above your knees. Sure - if you’re 6’1 or more . Back on planet earth where some men are 5’7-5’9 say , these fit right at your kneecaps. If you like your shorts uh ahem short then plan on a tailor to shorten these.The pockets !!This style has the angled side entry - good concept .Somebody at Anthem get a cellphone . A small one. Drop it in the pocket and take a long fast power walk - the phone falls sideways and goes whack thwack whack against your leg !Years ago I bought some champion shorts that had a - ready for this !- dedicated side long and narrow phone pocket - genius!Recently my Under Armour five inch shorts have a dedicated inner phone pocket - no thwack whack after every single step !!So - how about a side dedicated cell phone slot - end the long deep too wide pocket where your phone falls sideways and then just ridiculous bounces …Just ordered these shorts for weighlifting and really like them. They're flexible and fairly lightweight. I have some shorts that are lighter but these meet my expectations. I will probably buy more of these in the future.not sure if anyone mentioned before me but these are made of some stretchy material. its not very breathable i imagine as the material is thick .. hold it up to the light and yoiu can barely see light pass through so its probably going to keep sweat inside., its not lightweight enough for what im looking for. Design is nice though, pockets are large and zippers good quality.
