They suit my needs for working out. They are comfortable and lightweight. The pockets are very small, anything i put in my pocket falls out when i sit.I loved the previous Adidas 3G Speed 2.0 shorts. They were the only pair of shorts you could find that were below the knee, were smooth and not mesh, had pockets, and were still a decent price. I mostly wear them around the house and while sleeping, but also when active. They were basically the perfect intersection of form, function, comfort, and price. I was kind of annoyed when you could no longer find them anywhere. These 3G Speed X shorts seem to be the successor to the 2.0. They're similar, but slightly inferior in several ways.-The length and inseam on these is an inch shorter. If you get them in Tall they're the same length and inseam as the 2.0. Long are also the same length but you only get it in length, not inseam, which means less space in the crotch. 3G Speed X XL-Tall = 3G Speed 2.0 XL.-I bought 6 pairs of these all around the same time, and wear them all equally, but on two pairs the elastic started to warp after wearing them just a few times. It rolls up while wearing it, and doesn't return to it's normal shape. It only happened on the two I have with white waistbands. They're still wearable but the waistband looks pretty beat-up, and it can be annoying when it rolls while wearing it. All my other pairs the waistband is still perfectly fine, and they look as good as new, even after dozens of wear/washings. This only happened with the 2.0 shorts after years and years of wearing them.-The strings are on the outside, while the 2.0 had them on the inside. This doesn't really matter much to me. However, the strings on these new ones are prone to get sucked into the waistband in the dryer. I highly recommend you make the knots bigger as soon as you get them. Tie 3-4 more knots over the existing ones.+On the other hand I do think the styles on the Speed X are nicer, though if the waistband warps they look cheap.The pockets are pretty shallow, but so were the 2.0. They're okay if you're not active, but they're useless if you're moving around.Overall, these 3G Speed X are decent shorts. As noted, if you get them in Tall/Long they're the same length as the 2.0, and they're mostly the same in terms of looks, function, and comfort. A few negatives as noted above, but they're still the best pair of shorts that fit all my needs, and they're even cheaper than the 2.0 now.My grandson is 5'7 and can wear a small but I ordered him the medium tall for a little extra length and room and he loves them. Ordered another color.7Decent shorts, good fit, but typical foreign made quality which os neither great nor bad.Perfect fit.If you are a plus size guy with some belly, I would suggest you get a size bigger than you usually wear. I wear XL but I ordered 2XL and am happy. As for length there are 3, regular, long and tall. Am 6 feet tall and I ordered the long, it's a little to long for my taste, I should of gotten the regular. I would recommend long for person over 6'2", and tall for persons over 6'5".This 3rd pair of this style I've bought....I think that speaks for itselfFits well just I should have ordered a 3x in the middle of weight lossGoodResulta que soy talla L, compré esa misma talla, pero, de talle alto, y si hace diferencia, me quedó muy largo en comparación con otros shorts talla L que tengo de la misma marca. Es el único inconveniente, de alli en fuera es buen producto, de materiales reciclados, de poliéster, pero fresco.Buena prenda, solo que la pedi para persona alta y es short de basquetbolista asi que me queda abajo de la rodilla, pero de calidad y diseño muy buenosMás chico de lo que esperabaPractico muy ligero y sus colores son muy firmes
