Product Summary

Made with recycled materials, Bearbottom’s Atlas Shorts are a training short designed to endure even the most intense sweat sessions. According to Bearbottom, it’s the reinforced stitching that creates a durable pair of shorts. However, there are reviews of the stitching falling apart quickly.

That said, for less than $50, these shorts provide a good bang for your buck. The blend of nylon and spandex performance fabric has a four-way stretch, is moisture-wicking, and is reportedly cool to the touch. Featuring built-in phone stability pouches, a zipper back-right pocket, hidden drawstring, an elastic waistband, athletic fit, and tagless design, the Atlas shorts are as functional as they are comfortable.

They are available in both a 5.5 and 7-inch inseam length and 4 basic colors. There are reviews claiming that these shorts shrink after washing and run small so you may consider sizing up.
