Men's 5 in Gym Workout Shorts 2 Pack - Lightweight Quick Dry Comfort

Our review of these men's 5 in gym workout shorts finds them best suited for active users who want a lightweight, no-fuss pair of training shorts for the gym and everyday workouts. The single biggest reason to buy is the comfortable, quick dry mesh fabric that stays light during long sessions and recovers quickly after sweat or washing, making them a practical choice for regular training. The review focuses on fit, functionality and value rather than fashion statements.

Key Features

• Quick dry mesh fabric: The high quality mesh is soft, lightweight and designed to wick moisture so the shorts stay comfortable during long workouts.
• Elastic waist with drawstring: The adjustable elasticized waist ensures a secure fit for dynamic movements without needing constant readjustment.
• Pocket storage: Two side seam pockets provide convenient, low-profile storage for small essentials like keys or a phone during training.
• Side split design: The side split hem increases freedom of movement for running, squats and weight training without restricting the stride.
• Stretch fabric: The material includes enough stretch to move with the body, which helps during lunges, box jumps and other range-of-motion exercises.
• Machine washable: Easy care means these shorts can be tossed in the wash and are ready for frequent use without special handling.

Who It's For

These shorts are aimed at men who train regularly and want a functional, lightweight option for the gym, running or cross-training. They work well for weightlifters who like a shorter 5 in inseam that sits above the knee and for runners seeking minimal fabric and good ventilation.

Those who need heavy-duty, technical compression, lined running shorts or a fashion-forward streetwear look should look elsewhere; this pair prioritizes practicality and comfort over specialized features like built-in liners or high-compression fabrics.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable, soft mesh fabric that is lightweight and quick to dry for repeated workouts.
• Secure fit from the elasticized waist and adjustable drawstring for varied activities.
• Useful pocket storage and a side split design that improves movement for training and running.
• Good value as a 2 pack for everyday gym wear.

Cons

• Material quality and long-term durability received mixed feedback from some customers, so heavy long-term use may show wear sooner than premium technical shorts.
• Not a substitute for tight compression or padded cycling shorts when those specific features are required.
