frequently asked

Are these good for heavy training or just casual wear?

These were built for the grind. Whether you’re hitting squats, sprints, or stretching it out, the Recon Shorts hold up and move with you—no sag, no bind, no BS.

Do they ride up or stay in place during workouts?

Due to the athletic cut and side leg splits, they stay put without bunching up. You get full range of motion without constantly readjusting.

What’s the inseam length and fit like?

5.5” inseam with a modern, athletic taper. They sit above the knee with enough room for big legs—fitted but not restrictive.

What’s the fit like, tighter or looser?

Athletic fit that’s dialed in—not baggy, not skin-tight. Tapered through the legs with room for muscle and movement.

Will they shrink after washing?

No. The fabric’s pre-treated and doesn’t shrink if you wash cold and dry low like a grown man should.

Are they lined like swim trunks or unlined?

No liner. Wear what you want underneath—or nothing at all.

    Great shorts!

    Pockets are deep enough so stuff doesn’t fall out. I’m a 34” waste. The XL fits perfectly.

    Seem longer than 5”

    I have been wearing Vuori 5” for quite a while, these seem longer than 5” to me. I love how light they are on runs but because of the cut have almost a skirt feel to them which I why I give them 4 and not 5 stars.

    Good shorts

    I like the shorts. 2 things I would do differently. 1) sew the bottom of the pockets to the shorts. When loading the pockets the shorts are short enough they hang out the bottom when heavy. 2) add a towel loop in the waistband.
