C9 Champion Shorts 9 Inseam Ebony Sports & Fitness Review

I don't usually write reviews but I've felt the need for other moms like me to look for a replacement since Target has stopped advertising the Champions boy shorts wear. I'm so glad I found these shorts for my boys. They are finally available in L and XL sizes and every color as they could match. Replacing in Target just isn't the same. These are the only shorts my boys want to wear, they are made for active kids.

My son has been wearing C9 shorts from the same retailer for 4 years and they no longer work. He's tall, skinny and these shorts have always fitted him perfectly, even when other brands didn't. He wore a size L last year and I was excited to try them in a size XL. They are MUCH bigger and baggy! I'll try size L (despite the fact that his current L shorts are way too small) and see if that works.

My son says they are light weight and comfortable. The material seems to be good and the C9 line is solid overall. We first ordered size XL, the tag says 14/16, it was too big in the waist and very roomy. The Large 12/14 fits him perfectly and still has some room to grow. He usually wears size 4 pants and shorts which are usually a bit roomy as he is slim but not overly so. In general they are good in construction and color, just pay attention to the sizes.

My son has been wearing C9 shorts from a certain retailer for 4 years but they no longer work. He is tall and slim and these shorts have always fitted him perfectly, even when other brands have not. Last year he wore size L and I was dying to try them in size XL. They are MUCH bigger and baggy! I'll try size L (although his current L shorts are way too small) and see if that works. I really hope the downsizing works.

This brand/style was previously only sold at a popular high street retailer (the one with the red bullseye) and I've always bought them every summer because they were affordable and durable. Broke. I was disappointed when this store stopped selling the brand but relieved to see that Revain are now selling C9 mesh shorts. However, if like me you are looking for the same style of C9 shorts previously sold at this major retailer, be aware that the sizing/cut isn't the same as it was in years past.
