The verdict
Fit
Fitted through the hip with a tapered leg; the 7-inch cut is athletic. Mesh breathes fully and won't cling. Size true for Reigning Champ's tighter standard.
Quality
Solotex is a proprietary technical blend typical of Reigning Champ's premium line—lighter than cotton, durable structure, and resists wear. Construction is tight and considered.
Is the price fair?
At $98, this is premium-tier pricing. You're buying technical fabric and meticulous seaming. Justified if you prioritize breathability and longevity in training wear.
Best for
Runners, competitive athletes, or anyone in hot climates who demands serious ventilation and durability.
Care
Wash cool, hang dry; this fabric preserves its structure better than standard mesh with proper care.
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.
