Salmon Committee Reliable workout shorts - "Pretty comfy shorts" he says. My partner would generally avoid shorter shorts like this but now that we have a home gym, he is expanding his athletics wardrobe choices. They were comfy and breathable. A plus is the back zipper pocket which can hold small items like a key or gel pouch. A con is the pockets aren't quite deep enough so items may fall out while you are working out. Overall, a decent buy and a great staple.
