The verdict
Fit
The 10" inseam with big-and-tall fit means relaxed through the thigh; moisture-wicking synthetic dries quickly.
Quality
Champion's moisture-wicking formula in extended sizes is reliable polyester—adequate for regular workouts, not built for years of heavy use.
Is the price fair?
At $22.50, fair value for extended-size athletic wear with functional features.
Best for
Larger-frame athletes or gym-goers who need moisture-wicking in extended sizes.
Care
Machine wash cold and tumble dry on low to maintain wicking performance.
What owners report about Champion shorts
Owners are broadly positive on comfort for the price. Zappos reviewers on the 7-inch hybrid short praise the fabric as thin, light, and comfortable, and varsity-short buyers describe them as light and breathable with good workmanship. Cotton gym short buyers like the soft cotton and call them a good value. Walmart reviewers are more split on the budget styles, with some reporting the material feels thinner than it used to and the elastic wearing out within a year or two of light use.
- Strengths
- Lightweight, breathable, comfortable athletic shorts that most owners consider good value at their low price.
- Watch out for
- Recurring complaints on the cheaper styles are thin material and elastic that gives out after a year or two of wear.
- Sizing
- Most reviewers report the shorts fit true to size, though some say certain styles run large and one hybrid-short buyer found them shorter than expected.
