My husband loves these shorts. They are a very soft sweatshirt feeling material with a lot of stretch but thick. He has been looking for a shorter pair of shorts for weightlifting and these are perfect for range of motion and comfort – plus they are very flattering! The drawstring waistband is functional, and they have two large pockets. He is a 31 waist and the medium fit perfectly. They are very good quality and prefect for weightlifting!
