Nice lightweight shorts
Nice lightweight boys shorts for hot summers. I bought these on sale so it was a really good deal

Poor quality
Washed these before giving them to my son to wear and 2 of the 5 came unstitched at the waistband. Very poor quality. The other 3 have some unstitching at the hems after one wash.

    very thin but worth the cost
    You can immediately see the difference in quality from name brand shorts after putting them on. However, for the difference in cost. i think it is justifiable. I like the colors and they fit well on the waist. It's a little shorter than I expected, but to be fair, I didn't read closely at the dimensions before buying. All in all, a good buy. The thin material would be ideal for summer use.

    Cheap and thin
    Very thin and cheaply made. Poorly sewn

    Good thing we're not picky.
    Appear to be nice quality, but also somewhat thin. Also did not receive colors shown. Selected set 1 (navy and black and grey shorts) and received only black and white shorts, which isn't even one of the set options...?

    Random Assortment
    I like that they are cheap shorts for my kid to wear outside

    Looks great but holes in pockets
    Some pockets arrive with holes and the rest quickly develop them. Happened with both orders. Pity, since they look good and are comfortable for my son to wear.

    NOT fit for wearing out of the house
    These run snug in the butt and are MUCH darker than pictured. The real concern though is that they are SEE-THROUGH! Thankfully, we bought them to wear as pajama shorts so that isn't a big problem and the very thin material makes them perfect for wearing to bed. I would NOT recommend sending your kid out of the house in these though, as they are quite revealing.

    Comfortable, but incredibly light weight and thin.
    The colors and fit of the shorts are fine. I was shocked, however, when I pulled them out of the packaging to find that they were incredibly thin, practically see-through! They will certainly keep my son cool in the summer, although his modesty may suffer! I would not buy these shorts again due to the poor quality.

    Great except for the length
    My son really likes how comfortable these are, and he loves the fabric. My only complaint is that they are REALLY long for youth sizes... They are longer than the shorts that my 6'3" husband wears! These go to mid-shin on my son (who is about 5 ft tall), which isn't my favorite style for him.

    Not what I expected but ok.
    Material is very thin, practically see through. I suggest wearing a matching color of underpants. But other then that they are good, I don't want to deal with the hassle of returns. I also suggest to line dry after washing.

    Thin material but comfortable
    Comfortable for at home use, very thin material. My son does not feel comfortable wearing to go out due to transparent material. I suppose if you wear boxers underneath it's not a big deal. Due to remote learning he is putting plenty of use to them. So far they're holding up.

    Great value, confusing sizing
    Comfortable and practical. A good value. Watch sizing, as often a XL is size 14-16 in boys, but here an XL is 16-18. Had to exchange due to confusion in sizing. My oversight, but in my opinion, and easy mistake for those who buy individual S-XL sizing at Walmart.

    Good shorts, small stitch problem
    The shorts are great. Lightweight material, soft and my son loves wearing them. The only problem we have had with them is that the stitching in the pockets on 3 of the 5 pairs of shorts has come undone and had to be resewn within the first couple of times of wash
