Who wears shorts? YOU will when you buy them.

They are enough to wear at home. They just make me look a little small in shorts. They think I'm showing my legs. My teen son is about 5'1 or 5'2 theses shorts went down past his knees.

Pros
  • Everything fits perfectly, will definitely order Southpole products again.
Cons
  • My teenage son is about 5ft 1 or 5ft 2 inches tall, these shorts came down to his knees.

Non-pulling thread, very long

They appear to be well made, but they don't have a drawstring so you can't tie them around your waist. I bought these for my son who is average height for his age and they covered the top of his socks they were so long.

Pros
  • It's very popular which is 10 if my grandson likes the garment!
Cons
  • Excellent stuff. Albeit a bit long. It falls below the knees, so walking in it is a bit uncomfortable.

Don't buy Southpole mesh shorts

I bought 3 pairs of these mesh shorts but only wore 2. Both have the same 2 inch crotch hole. I didn't even do anything strenuous in them. Just sit, stand and walk. $15 shouldn't surprise me, but I bought a pair of Russell gym shorts. They are more comfortable and more durable. I will not buy Southpole again. I am returning the third pair unworn.

Pros
  • The waist is perfect, the length is a little long, but my son is also a little hoarse these days.
Cons
  • The white color stains and discolors easily, leaving the shorts looking dirty and worn after just a few uses.

Please increase your order by a size or 2.

You have to be careful on this site as it doesn't explicitly put you in the male category after you choose it. In the end I decided to just order the XL and it turned out to be the wise decision I made! Since you can't see it yourself like you can in a store, there's a good chance the clothes don't fit the size you ordered.

Pros
  • Regular shorts for the price. good for running
Cons
  • transparent material

Too long and see through

I ordered 10/12 for my big 10 year old. This is too long. There are 14 sizes in the closet. These shirts are also completely see-through.

Pros
  • I liked these of the two short shorts I ordered. Fit as expected and hold up well when washed and dried.
Cons
  • The basic design of the shorts may not appeal to some users looking for more stylish and unique options.

ordered wrong size best in my review

The shorts are very good but it would help if they had a size chart. My grandson is a size 8 and had to drop other size charts. I ordered a medium size 10-12 and they will float on it. I'm just saving them for next year!

Pros
  • The fit is perfect and reminds me of many beginner shorts.
Cons
  • This is for men not boys, I have a very large one for my son and it was for men.

Great shorts for the price!

I've looked everywhere to find the perfect pair of shorts for my son as he is quite picky about his shorts. They are long, comfortable and look great! Great shorts in every way.

Pros
  • good shorts
Cons
  • NO DRAWSTRING - Ignore the product description.

The size was not at all what we expected.

The quality seemed ok for the price, just average, but the size really, really didn't suit us. I ordered medium thinking it would fit my almost 10 year old but the waist was too big even for my 14 year old. I didn't dare to exchange for a small one because I thought it might be too big. Frustrated, my kids removed the tag before we could return.

Pros
  • They fit my 12 year old very well
Cons
  • The lack of pockets means that users cannot store their belongings (like keys or phone) in these shorts.

Good Not so good

My son loves these shorts. The only problem was the seam. I had to sew up the tear in the seam after just one wear. I think it has to do with the mesh but a bit more quality control would have helped. In their defense I also bought the same shorts in 2 different colors and had no problems. You might think twice before buying them if you're not good with a needle and thread for sewing minor repairs.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • Some mistakes

Great shorts, they run big, I recommend going down a size.

I love the shorts and my grandson does too but unfortunately this brand is not made like Nike or Under Armour, they run large. He usually wears a large 12/14, but they were a bit large at the waist and 3.4 inches below the knee. I recommend 1 size smaller than what your child normally wears. Updated 09/28/19. I kept the shorts for myself and ordered a size smaller for my grandson (medium 10/12). They fit perfectly.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Wrong fit wrong size

The size on the website originally was the size on the outer label (L 14-16) but the inner label which was sewn onto the back said 'L 12- 14". Obviously a big difference. Second, the crotch is very oddly low, so the fit is very odd. When my son wears shorts just below his waist, as he usually does, the crotch is so low that it's actually difficult to move and walk in them. When you lift the shorts to fix the crotch issue, they are no longer above the knee, but rather above the knee, withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
