The verdict
Fit
At 10", this is a roomy fit for larger frames or layering; the moisture-wicking synthetic dries quickly.
Quality
Champion's moisture-wicking line is functional polyester—not premium, but reliable for routine gym or court wear.
Is the price fair?
At $18.75, excellent value for basic active wear. No hidden costs.
Best for
Larger athletes or anyone who prefers a looser athletic fit for running or training.
Care
Machine wash cold and dry on low to maintain the moisture-wicking properties.
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.
