  • Comfy shorts for lounging inside
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set G
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. ... show more

  • Comfortable
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set F
You would think its low quality for the price but trust me, it's not. Very comfortable and fits well. 5 stars.

  • Surprising
Size: Large Color: Set B
The gym shorts were a surprisingly good find. They were affordable, yet surprisingly durable. The material was comfortable and breathable, making them perfect for workouts.

  • Bang for the buck
Size: X-Large Color: Set I
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.

  • Tall hubby approves!
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set F
These shorts are awesome! My husband works in a warehouse in the Florida heat and these are thinner material, but not see thru. He loves them and he's a tall man at 6ft4 about 240lbs, the pockets could use zippers maybe because his wallet does slide out into his floorboard of the car occasionally lol. Other than that they're comfortable and the price makes them a great addition for my husband's daily wear. They're holding up great and they haven't faded in color at all over the few months he's worn them. ... show more

  • Solid Value, But Could Use a Little More Structure
Size: X-Large Color: Set L
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. ... show more

  • Thin and lightweight
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set D
I love driving in these shorts working and all around a great deal with a good fit. Pockets could be a little deeper but definitely big enough for a cell phone and my wallet. They just look cool 😎
