prAna Men's Flex Short

This product gets three stars from me because with a bit of tweaking, they would be fantastic. As they are, they are irritating. I'll explain:Pros:- The inner lining is wonderful and eliminates the need to wear underwear with these. The lining is very soft and stretches. It does not constrain the genitals, but it nicely holds them in place. This is helpful if you are doing yoga or other activities where you want your junk held in place.- They are solidly designed by a responsible company, Prana.Neutral:- They look like normal gym shorts. Nothing special about them.Cons:- They have only one pocket that is very difficult to get into. It is small and the velcro takes up most of the opening. Taking anything out of this pocket is a hassle.- The waist band is wrinkled. I am adding a photo to this review, please see it for details. Because this material is not pure soft cotton, the wrinkles in the waist band dig into my skin, making it very, VERY uncomfortable. After wearing these for longer than 15 minutes, I have marks on my waist from the waistband on these shorts.- The price of the shorts.I ended up returning mine because of the cons. For the price of these shorts, I would expect a pocket that is better designed and a waistband that does not hurt my skin.

I had originally ordered the Mediums but they were too small. I am tall and wear size 32 jeans. The Medium shorts were very small around the waist and in length. I sent them back and reordered the Large. What I received in return was almost an entirely different product all together. The Mediums were made in the USA and seemed to be of high quality. It's unfortunate they didn't fit.... The Large ones fit better despite the spandex underneath being too wide for my legs... but the shorts are different. They are now made in China and I believe any new order from Amazon will get this Chinese version as the old stock is likely sold out at this point. Don't be fooled by the price, you get what you pay for. Instead of getting a discount, you're getting a different product. I paid $27. The shorts are similar to the ones pictured but there are differences. The stitching is different and is now solid black on black. The material feels inferior and the tags are different on the new shorts. I am disappointed, but if I pretend that I never saw the made in USA version, these shorts are OK for the price I paid.

I purchased these shorts for my husband who is just starting a yoga practice. He is 6' 1" 180 lbs.....and the large fit perfectly. He had been trying to wear his athletic shorts but in many poses and stretching he was constantly having to pull them down. These shorts are perfect in every way......he says they are comfortable, lightweight, easy to move in and the inner liner is also very soft and comfortable....not too tight....just perfect to make sure he is covered and modest regardless of the pose. Lastly....the shorts look great. They are long, loose enough and stylish enough for wearing on errands while going back and forth to practice. He was very skeptical of the idea of "yoga shorts" despite the fact he was having so many issues trying to wear athletic shorts to yoga.....but he is very happy with these.

I like the fit of these shorts and the comfort. I love them for hiking and they really help wick away sweat and stay dry over longer hikes and activities. One thing that I don't like is the lack of pockets. It does have a pocket but it doesn't hold much. Otherwise, I'm a happy customer and would buy another pair.

Versatile short, good for several different activities: biking, climbing, running, yoga. That being said each actives has much better sport specific offerings. Not the best yoga short, not the best short for climbing, etc.I would say the best use and benefit of this short is if you were going to be doing two things in succession and didn't want to change like jog to the climbing gym or bike to yoga class. Otherwise find something better suited to the activity in question.

Fantastic pair of shorts for athletic activity. I don't like spandex at all, but needed something for yoga. These are excellent. The inside liner is comfortably tight around thighs (keeps things where they should be) and loose in the crotch. Very comfortable for yoga - what I bought them for - or other athletics. Have worn them constantly since i got them and washed them several times - no signs of wear and tear. I'm ordering more now. I ordered the XL - it's true to size but is an "athletic fit" - if you're more than a little overweight I would order the next size up.

I bought these for my husband to encourage him to go to yoga. The shorts within shorts are good for yoga because no one can see up your shorts leg to your underwear. Also they're good for travel because they don't show wrinkles and dry quickly after a quick wash in a hotel sink.The seams and elastic waist have held up well. The right side Velcro overlap pocket securely holds a cell phone.

Would agree with the other reviewer that fit has changed slightly - the contrast stitching is the original product and is better. New product is a slightly less roomy in the outer shorts. Liner is great! However, NO shorts should be $54! Wait until they're $38
