I’ve been wearing the Nathan Sports Men’s Essential 9" Shorts 2.0 for my gym sessions, and they’ve quickly become my go-to. The fit is comfortable, they move well during workouts, and the fabric feels light but durable. They don’t ride up or bunch, even during leg days or cardio. Simple, no-frills design, but they do exactly what you want a good pair of training shorts to do. Definitely recommend for anyone who wants solid, comfortable gym gear.
Great fit
My husband really likes these shorts for hiking and jogging. He enjoys the pockets, the length, and the fit. This is his 5th pair of these shorts. We have almost replaced all other workout shorts with these.
Love these shorts
These shorts are great - I got them instead of some Lulu shorts and they feel really quality. The liner is nice and doesn’t rub weird or anything. Also I feel like the athletic cut fits me really well.
Not likely to buy again
I have purchased the same short twice in the past, and have been happy as a clam both times, but this pair is sewn or cut differently and causes some rather unfortunate chaffing.
Husband's favorite
He loves the length of these and the lining shorts included. They also seem to last a long time, despite the abuse and sweat he subjects these to!
Great shorts at a great price.
Great shorts with a liner. Got these to replace two previous pairs which I bought years ago. Great shorts at a great price.
Very comfortable, love the pockets
These shorts are very comfortable! They also have short pockets and leg stretchy pockets which I love using on every run.
