Russell AthleticRussell Athletics Team Driven Coaches Shorts - Men's Quick Dry Workout Gym Exercise Sports Active Wear

Airy mesh weave fabric dries quickly, very comfortable. Sized a little big, I went down a size from usual. I am a waist 41, and xl fits great!

I have owned a pair of shorts for around 5 years now. I recently purchased a new pair because I love the old pair so much. I originally wore these while practicing baseball during the summer for my high school baseball team. The were light and very breathable. After the old pair got dirty, I was in the market to buy a new pair and looked around for them and finally found them here. Man, was I excited to find them.A few things to note about these shorts. The pockets are mesh. Think football jersey mesh with holes that are small. Very comfortable to have your hands in and durable enough for keys or a whistle. One key component for these are the back right pocked. It even has a button. I like to keep my wallet here while I wear these. This back pocket is really what sets these shorts apart. Another feature to these shorts is how comfortable having them on it. The material is fairly stretchy but it is very loose. These are not tight fitting shorts. I am no coach, but I understand why these are marketed at 'Coaches shorts' because it has exactly what every coach would need.I highly recommend these shorts only because I have used them for over 5 years. I now own a red pair, a navy pair, a silver pair and a black pair. All of which I wear on my days off when I want to be comfortable in the heat. You can wear these out anywhere for nearly anything and its not obnoxious or annoying to anyone looking at you. I reviewed these because I love them. They are a little more expensive than regular cheap shorts, but they provide a perfect wearing experience that I think is great. I paid full price for these shorts and plan on purchasing more pairs in the future when they wear out because I wear them so often.

I will never forgive Russell Athletic for ceasing to produce uniforms. However, its apparel is still top-quality. I have roughly 8 pairs of these shorts, because they "never" wear out. The elasticity in the waist-band finally failed on the pairs i received in 2012 (11 seasons ago). I have worn those shorts no less then 500 times. I have light and dark grey, maroon, black, and gold. As an athletic coach, these shorts are by far my favorite practice attire. I was really excited to find them still for sale on Amazon, and promptly ordered 2 pair.

Size down at least one.6

Smaller than expected

Cautionary warning: These shorts arrived at my house and they didn't have a drawstring to tighten them when wearing. I thought "man I screwed up and didn't notice that these shorts didn't have a drawstring" and relegated them to bumming around the house where it didn't matter if my pants fell down.I just now noticed - a few months after ordering - there is a slit in the front of these shorts where the drawstring should be, and it has one that was fully tucked in on both sides. Unfortunately one side is well beyond reach and can't be pushed to the slit so the drawstring is still useless.If you get these, the sorts are decent, but their QA is lacking. If you don't have a visible drawstring, return them right away.

My husband really loved his 2 pair of RussellAthletic coach shorts. This particular type are hard to find.

I would have liked a few other color options. Over-all the shorts are comfortable, durable and allows breathability & movement without restriction or clinging to me like spandex. Yes, i will continue to buy & use these shorts

Russell Athletic makes really good gear. For these ones I followed the size chart and didn’t do well. They are far bigger on me than expected.
