Champion Men's 9" Lacrosse Mesh Gym Shorts - Breathable Athletic Workout Shorts for Running, Basketball & Training | Perfect for Gym, Sports & Casual Wear

bought a couple of these lacrosse champion shorts 7 years ago in 2013. have always been my favorite workout shorts. comfy, breathable and lightweight, and has the convenience of pockets too. also look very cool and sporty - almost a retro style to them. they are double lined so no no need to worry about the outside layer being mesh. glad they still make them as i ordered a few more even though my previous ones are still intact and fine. wish though i could find the burgundy color again, which is my favorite. the sizing is good, i usually wear size small, but i sized up to medium. if you prefer your athletic shorts to be a little looser, then definitely go one size up.i did notice these newer versions are a little longer at 20" from top of waistband to bottom - originals were 18". still all made in el salvador. newer versions also have the "c" champion logo towards bottom of shorts, while the original ones had them toward the top near the waistband. originals also had a slightly thicker drawstring.a key advice i'd like to give out from what i learned about these shorts is to always hang dry them. avoid using the dryer at all costs, unless a really low heat setting is used. even if so, remember to take them out very soon as they'll dry in just a couple minutes. the side stripes are an elastic material and they are prone to shrinking and shriveling - making the sides very wavy-looking. i learned the hard way. had one pair that got shriveled up so much and looked so odd that i ended up throwing it away as ironing couldn't undo the damage. so because of that, i won't dare throw them in the dryer for even a second.the only reason i would not recommend these shorts, is because i want to be the only one to have them. lol! honestly, in the 7 years that i've regularly worn these to the gym, i have never have seen anybody else with them. i've seen similar shorts, but never these particular champion ones.
