The verdict
Fit
Scuba knit fabrics typically fit close to the body with stretch recovery; expect a slim, second-skin fit rather than relaxed.
Quality
Scuba fabric is a synthetic knit prioritizing stretch and smoothness over long-term durability, typical of Diesel's contemporary casual pieces.
Is the price fair?
At $85 this sits at the lower end for Diesel, a fair price for the brand tier even without standout materials.
Best for
Someone wanting a fitted, stretchy short for athleisure-adjacent styling.
Care
Machine wash cold and air dry to preserve the stretch.
What owners report about Diesel shorts
Trustpilot reviewers for the diesel.com storefront report recurring construction problems on Diesel's shorts and denim: one buyer specifically noted 'seams come away on shorts' after normal wear, and others describe sizing as inconsistent from one order to the next, needing multiple reorders to land on the right fit. Design-wise, reviewers consistently call out the line's hand-finished washes and hardware -- engraved rivets, embossed patches, metal logo trims -- as its most distinctive strength. The recurring complaint isn't initial fit or styling but durability: reviewers say the shorts don't hold up as long as the price would suggest.
