Review on Anthem Athletics Hyperflex Crossfit Training Sports & Fitness and Team Sports by Sam Doucette

I was looking for a replacement for my favorite training shorts - basic Adidas 3-Stripes with nice deep pockets and 8 inch inseam. Great for training, running, or just lounging around Seems most of the new shorts are very long but I'm not a basketball player and they look silly on me, just got them, just put them on to see how they do fit/feel didn't really work in them or owned them They've been wearing them for a while but here are my first impressions PROS: - I love the way they look and feel and fit Great fit for my build long shorts not to me and I think it's the perfect length Fabric feels soft - not too thin not too stiff - I like that the logo is quite small and unobtrusive Some of the shorts I looked at have logos that are huge and look awful pockets are really uncomfortable s. They are 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.
