Men's 101 Solid Short 7 in Lightweight 4-Way Stretch

In this review of the Men's 101 Solid Short 7, the bottom line is simple: these are designed for men who want a lightweight, comfortable short that moves with them. Constructed from a breathable, moisture wicking fabric with true 4 way stretch, the 101 is ideal for active days that shift from the golf course to the beach. The reviewer found the shorts to be particularly good when mobility and quick drying matter, though casual users should note some mixed feedback on wrinkle resistance.

Key Features

• Lightweight 4 way stretch: The fabric allows unrestricted movement for swinging, walking or casual play without feeling heavy.
• Moisture wicking: Sweat is pulled away from the skin so the shorts dry faster during activity and in warm weather.
• Breathable construction: The material and design keep airflow moving for comfort on long days outdoors.
• Quick dry waistband: Amphibious detailing like the quick dry waistband reduces dampness after water exposure or sweat.
• Hydramesh pockets: Mesh-lined pockets help water drain quickly and keep contents ventilated when transitioning between environments.
• Versatile 7 in length: The 7 in inseam offers a balanced cut that works equally well on the course and at casual outings.

Who It's For

The Men's 101 Solid Short 7 is best for men who need a versatile active short for mixed outdoor days - golfers, coastal residents, and anyone who likes to move from sport to leisure without changing. The combination of breathable fabric and hydrating design details makes it suitable for warm climates and activities that involve light water exposure.

Those who prefer a very structured, wrinkle-free dress short or who need a heavier fabric for colder weather should look elsewhere; some customers report the shorts are noticeably prone to wrinkling despite their performance features. If wrinkle resistance is essential, consider an alternative with a more creaseless finish.

Pros & Cons
