Russell or Champion? Depends on what length you prefer.

If you're trying to decide between these and similar Champion shorts, this might help. Both good shorts with same quality. The only difference I see is that the Russell shorts are maybe 1.5 inches longer and feel a little "roomier". I like the length of the Champion shorts while standing, but they get too short for certain exercises. I have a slight preference for Russell shorts, knee length or just below, but perfect for squats or similar exercises.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Contemporary

This is what I wanted

I had several pairs of the same shorts (different colors) and wanted to add more. I was concerned that I would not be able to find "exactly the same" shorts as the ones I have had for several years. But they are exactly the same as mine - a different color - and they fit perfectly. I only use these shorts for training and they are perfect - they have plenty of room, they have pockets (for phone, music etc), they are not tight, they breathe well and they look nice. The fit is also very good. I…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

Better Than Champion

These athletic shorts are incredibly comfortable. I would wear them every day if I could. I think I could buy a lot of different colors but unfortunately the price is higher than the sports shorts of that time. Also, they are more comfortable compared to Champion (which I wore for years before trying Russell). The waistband is a little "tighter" which holds my waist a little more while being too stretchy for the champ. Finally, I want their pockets to be attached to the shorts. Unfortunately…

Pros
  • Great for Me
Cons
  • Big and Chunky

Thin and transparent

They fit well and the thing is probably comfortable but oh my god I can see my hand right through the other side before putting it on as there is no light source behind it. When I put them on my leg was clearly visible up close. Well, I doubt it came from afar, and I doubt many would have noticed, but that's not the point. This material will not stand up to the activities I expect (very active housework and play, such as cleaning the car and house, putting things in and out of storage, shooting

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

A year later and holding up well

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…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Working speed
