I was hesitant at first to purchase these basketball shorts, but I am thankful that I did. As my tests showed, the pockets held up well during intense games .The shorts were comfortable and breathable, perfect for my active lifestyle. They also made a great addition to my Men's Fashion COLLECTION. The only downside was that the X-Large size seemed a bit too big for me. Overall, I would definitely recommend these shorts to anyone looking for comfortable and functional activewear..
