Best Athletic type Shorts

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

These shorts are the best dri fit type shorts I have ever had. They are a bit heavier fabric which keeps its shape and wears well. They are very comfortable and wash up well. Wash them inside out and either hang to dry or low temp in dryer. They seem to be true to size These shorts are my favorite!

So comfy and don’t ride up. Was worried these would ride up but weighty enough they don’t but light enough for hottest days

Comfortable relaxed short but I will only wear when longing around at home. I had hoped to wear these for walks on holiday. The thigh goblin loves these so can’t do anything without them riding up. Look great not practical for any activity

Extremely comfortable shorts

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

These shorts have been a life saver this holiday period. They are comfortable and lightweight and have coped with both the heat and the cooler days. They wash really well and take little time to dry so perfect for holidays away from home. They have the flexibility of being dressed up or down so I have been wearing them out to the shops with the racer back top as well as on my long walks around the Bath Skyline reducing the amount needed in your holiday bags.

Excellent leisure/hiking shorts.

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

I bought these in black for my holidays and they were excellent for walking around. I then wore them on a hike and found they were excellent for that too. So I bought them in navy too. Would love the pink ones but out of stock in 5.5 length and my size.

Most comfortable shorts ever. Added bonus is that because they don’t cling to my thighs my legs look thinner. Will definitely buy again. If you’re between sizes go for the smaller one.

Great !

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Am not normally a shorts person but I love these shorts and now have them in both blue and black. Great for sport, home and travel. Lightweight non crease quick dry fabric. I am 5’6”” and went for the 5.5 inch length and they are perfect.
