These are the best made gym shorts I have found and I have bought a lot of gym shorts. Bought a pair in March to check the quality and have since an additional six pairs. This seems like a lot of shorts but I go to the YMCA to work out almost every day.
Sturdy cotton with elastic waistband that holds shorts up even when draw cord is not tied. My one fear is that they become unavailable and I have to go back to flimsy name brand shorts.
