**Men's A4 Lined Tricot Mesh Athletic Shorts - 9" Inseam | Cooling Quick-Dry Moisture-Wicking Workout Shorts | High-Performance Gym & Sports Apparel | Ideal for Running, Training, Basketball & Outdoor Activities**

The shorts don’t have pockets which ruins functionality for everyday wearThe description of these shorts was that they were "lined." They are NOT lined in the way an athlete expects. Typically, when shorts are "lined," they have a liner insider that would replace underwear or a jock strap.These shorts are not lined in that way. Yes, they do have an inner lining, but they're not "lined." That inner lining was the only reason I gave it two stars instead of one.I really like these shorts. I wouldn’t really use them for sports or workouts beings they’re made from a heavy dense materials. They have nice ventilation and dry quickly beings they’re made of a mesh material. For me, I like to use these shorts more for the casual day to day shorts. Good great shortsIt was a good thing I read the reviews, a few people said that it runs somewhat smaller. I ordered the 3X, normally a 2X is comfortable for me. I would have to say that the 3X is closer to a snug 2X. This is very light material, I'm ok with that as I only plan on wearing them at the gym and relaxing around he house. I wish they had pockets for my iPod and earbuds. Ok, the second wash, the hem on the left leg came completely unraveled. Also have learned that even though they are made with lightweight material they don't breath well and cause your lower body to become quite warm. The sweat doesn't go anywhere.Great, but wish it had pocketsOur child's coach had us order royal blue. The color in the image looks like a dark periwinkle. Thankfully when they came, they were a deeper blue - what royal blue should be. We did follow the other comments and order a size up. I ordered a men's large for my teenager and it fits well. I wanted to note that even if sizing up results in them being a hair big, they do have a drawstring. I didn't see that in the description so I figured it was worth noting.These are good shorts. The feel great and plenty of air for your junk. I like that the material is shear but does not require you to wear an undergarment. I would buy another pair in a second. Comfortable and feels good on the skin. The waist band is great. One thing to remember, this item does not have pockets. Good buy for your money.my college kid who likes to wear her gym shorts at home. She’s been wearing the same brand since middle school.Way better than expected. Will be buying more
