Great bang for your buck!
5 out of 5 stars
Great bang for your buck!
Great bang for your buck! My son lives in basketball shorts so he can never have too many. We ordered a L12/14 and it fit my 11yr old 4'10 son just below the knee. I was super hesitant to purchase based on reading previous reviews about poor quality but we've had no issues so far. If they begin to fall apart or tear, I will update. Otherwise, he loves the design and color options! Update: We have now had these for 4 months and the stitching on the bottom has begun to come out but it isn't something that I would say is a deal breaker. Until now we've just let the bottom have a raw cut seam vs the nice folded sewed seam but it's an easy fix on the sewing machine. Still a great buy for the price.

    My son loves these. They are cool and silky, just how he likes them. It is hard to find these style shorts with pockets, so these were a great find. Material is not super durable but fine for the period of time it will take him to grow out to them. Sizes run a bit small so size up.
