Review on Naviskin Running Workout Athletic Outdoor: Ultimate Performance for Fitness Enthusiasts by Adrian Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lightweight inexpensive running shorts

I received a few days ago a men's 5" Naviskin shorts in light coral (burgundy) size L. I'm writing this review after my first run. (5 miles / 8 km) on a hot and muggy evening. The fabric is light and pleasant to the touch with good breathability. Moisture absorption was good. The mesh lining of the briefs is pretty decent too, but I don't know if that's the case. will be disruptive on longer runs without additional underwear. This requires further tests. The white lining in this color can turn almost white over time. I would have preferred a gray or black lining instead, but the light coral color is really good. Sewing Well sewn. The shorts have 2 inch slits on the sides to allow more freedom of movement. The seams are reinforced where the incision ends. These shorts have two relatively deep side pockets. I would like them to reinforce the bottom of the bag in a similar way as well, but it should be fine. The zippered pocket on the back measures approximately 5.75 x 4.25 inches measured from the inside, so it can comfortably hold a 5.5-inch phone (with a thin enough case) if needed. There are reflective elements on the edge of the zipper on the back pocket. Material for night runs. Another nice touch! However, when I go jogging, I keep my cell phone in my side pocket. The inseam for size L is 4.75 inches. Outer seam length is 17 inches. Although these shorts are listed as a 5", I have some 7" shorts that are actually shorter at the outseam. Can't talk about durability at the moment. I intend to update this review regarding the durability and performance of the inner mesh lining on longer runs in the future. By the way, on the same day that I bought these shorts, I also bought another brand of shorts from Revain, which are also made in China. The two products are very similar: same fabric material, same mesh lining, same back pocket (except this one has a reflective stripe), side pockets and almost the same dimensions (this one has a 2 inch slit on the side). Buying this product was a little cheaper. Update: after 4 months of use the shorts are holding up well. Wearing these shorts for a half marathon in the summer and high humidity hasn't caused any chafing. I still think it's a decent product.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Something is wrong
