4-Way Stretch Nylon Combo Standard Training Short 5”
The verdict
Fit
5-inch inseam is quite short, roughly mid-thigh to upper thigh depending on build. Combo construction with short cut is ideal for athletes who run hot.
Quality
Identical quality to the 7-inch—Reigning Champ's stretch nylon combo standard, tight seaming, durable construction.
Price check
At $88, same value proposition as the 7-inch: mid-tier pricing for quality combo shorts.
Best for
Hot-weather training, minimalist athletes, or anyone who prefers very short inseams.
Care
Cold wash and air-dry; the short cut means even more emphasis on avoiding dryer heat.

What owners report about Reigning Champ shorts
Owner coverage of Reigning Champ's terry sweat shorts is strongly positive on fabric and construction: reviewers report the terry breathes better than expected for a warm fabric, resists odor through repeated wears, and the flatlock-seamed construction on the brand's terry bottoms holds up wash after wash. The recurring functional complaint is the pockets — the open side and rear pockets let phones and keys slide out easily. Reviewers also note the brand cuts slightly trim and advise sizing up, and that the cotton shrinks a little after machine washing and drying.
- Strengths
- Odor-resistant, breathable terry fabric with flatlock construction that reviewers report holding up through years of wear and washing.
- Watch out for
- Open, unsecured pockets let contents fall out, and the trim cut plus mild shrinkage after drying catch out owners who don't size up.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report Reigning Champ measures slightly smaller than comparable cuts and advise sizing up, especially if you plan to machine-dry.
