PUMA Men's 101 Solid Short 7 - Lightweight Stretch Short Athletic

In this review of the PUMA Men's 101 Solid Short 7 the bottom line is simple: these are a versatile, lightweight active short best for golfers and coastal lifestyle use where breathability and stretch matter most. Built from a 4 way stretch fabric with moisture wicking and breathable construction, the 7' inseam sits at a practical length for activity without feeling baggy. The reviewer found the shorts to be comfortable and well made, with clever amphibious details like a quick dry waistband and hydramesh pockets that make them useful from course to beach.

Key Features

• 4 Way stretch: The fabric stretches in all directions so the shorts move with you during swings, lunges and long walks without binding.
• Moisture wicking: Sweat is drawn away from the body to help keep you feeling dry during hot rounds or active days.
• Breathable construction: Lightweight materials and breathable panels help airflow so the shorts do not trap heat on warm days.
• Quick dry waistband: The waistband sheds water and dries fast, making transitions from water to land less awkward on coastal outings.
• Hydramesh pockets: Mesh-lined pockets drain and ventilate small items, useful when moving between wet and dry environments.

Who It's For

The PUMA 101 Solid Short 7 is aimed at active men who want a single short that works for golf, travel and casual coastal days. If you value a lightweight, stretchy short with functional details like a quick dry waistband and mesh pockets, these deliver practical performance without heavy technical branding.

Those who need highly formal golf wear or wrinkle-free dress shorts for office environments should look elsewhere; customers consistently note that wrinkle resistance is mixed and these pack and recover differently than stiffer performance dress shorts.
