The verdict
Fit
9-inch inseam is long and relaxed; warp knit is stable and doesn't cling. Fit is athletic but with room for layering.
Quality
Stretch warp knit is a structured technical fabric—durable, holds shape, and resists pilling. Reigning Champ's seaming and details are on point.
Is the price fair?
At $70.80 (discounted), this is fair mid-tier pricing for a technical short with genuine durability.
Best for
Golfers, all-day athletes, or anyone who wants a short that looks put-together and moves freely.
Care
Cool wash and air-dry; the knit structure benefits from gentle care to prevent stretching.
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.
