Poor Construction
Another reviewer wrote that you get what you pay for, but I'd have to differ in opinion. One usually gets a better deal when buying in bulk and at $6 a short when bought in a pack of 5, you are not getting your money's worth. The Pros: The material is light and airy and given its polyester material, it wicks as advertised. I didn't find the material excessively transparent as reported in other reviews. The waist fit well and four out of the five shorts fit well (one of them fit more like a large). All-in-all, the shorts are great for lounging around the house and some light work outs, but not for much else. The Cons: As a person that knows his way around commercial sewing machines, I can tell you that what was used to put these garments together is not calibrated, and probably too old, to work with the material that these shorts are made out of. The lack of quality and attention to detail is an indicator of poor quality control measures and a highly uneducated/ignorant/poorly trained workforce. These shorts are bottom of the barrel garments that are trying to pass themselves off as mid-level garments. I've purchased $5 shorts at Walmart that were made better. The seams are hastily put together with material bunching that indicated more need for speed in construction then durability and common basic composition. The threads on all the garments are excessively loose and will probably require restitching after the first wash (as alluded to in other reviews). The stripe embellishments don't even align correctly and cause the garment to look sloppy and poorly made even from afar. In short, again, great product for lounging as you might want to be at home when these fall apart after getting up from a chair or doing any heavy stretching.
