Review on Anthem Athletics Hyperflex Crossfit Training Sports & Fitness by Jason Wright

Was looking for a replacement for my favorite training shorts - adidas basic 3 stripes with nice deep pockets and 8 inch inseam. Great for training, running or just lounging on. Most of the new shorts seem to be very long but I'm not a basketball player and they look silly on me. So I was looking around Revane and came across these, thought I'd give them a try. Just got them. Put them on just to see how they fit/feel, haven't actually worked with or owned them in a while but here are my first impressions: PROS: - I love how they look, feel and fit. My build doesn't fit the extra long shorts and I think that's the perfect length. The fabric feels good - not too thin, not too stiff - I like that the logo is quite small and subtle. I've seen logos on some shorts that are huge and look awful. indulgent. They're too narrow to fit in your hands, so getting anything other than tall and narrow, like your phone, is problematic. - Shoelaces - first of all, that's my personal preference, but I don't like it. that they are outside. More importantly, as others have pointed out, the laces are separate and sewn into the sides, increasing the risk of failure as some people have experienced - poor design. - There are also some care instructions on the packaging which I really didn't expect for workout gear (which I expect to be a bit more durable) - No detergent, just cold water, tumble dry low. the picture is attached. Overall they're not bad for $30 but I think I'll return them - I don't like them and their durability seems questionable. If they fix the pockets and drawstring issue I would consider buying them again. But there are other shorts in the $20 range that I will try.
