Review on Enhanced SEO: Men's Short with Pockets by Russell Athletic, featuring Breathable Mesh by Gerald Reeves

They are very transparent and thin. Pockets are NOT lined. So they are mesh (holes) on one side of each pocket and a cheap PE liner on the other side of each pocket. It probably won't hold up well. If you have more weight in your back or have big hips, there's plenty of room. As another reviewer mentioned, the drawstring and other aspects make them good for weight loss or weight gain. I bought Maroon, Black and Navy and I really like Maroon because the color looks black from one angle and maroon from another angle. Overall it's pretty cheap and I wouldn't recommend it. If the shorts have pockets, they must be lined. You should be able to insert keys into them without fear of tearing a hole in the grille. ***UPDATE 06/18/2017*** Having bought 3 pairs last year I was mostly satisfied but found them a little flimsy. What has changed? A year later all the pairs were holding up pretty well so I just bought a steel/light gray pair. These are called loose-fitting shorts with an exactly 9-inch inseam. Where they touch your knee depends on your weight and how high or low you want to wear them. They're still see-through, so I wear mine over tights like basketball players. One of the differences this year will be a shorter top, which is good since the elastic strap holds it up nicely. The logo on the side of the shorts was a cheap thermal print that had peeled off. Now there's an embroidered logo that gives them a little more class. I highly recommend it. With 4 pairs I am now ready for world domination.
