These are my new favorite gym shorts. But really I wear them everywhere. They are super light, have a nice stretch to them, and slits on the outside if both legs making them perfect for leg day. I wear them to the gym, amusement parks, around the house…anywhere. Plus the logo on the leg is a constant reminder to be a Father Fortified!

Leg day to amusement parks is exactly the range we built the Core Short for, Tim. Glad the pair we sent your way goes everywhere you do.

These are SO nice! The perfect gift for my husband :) We have owned for a while now and they are still as perfect quality as when he first got them!

Still as good as day one is the exact test we built the Core Short to pass, Anna. Glad the pair we sent your husband is holding up through his training and everything after.

Phenomenal and light weight. With the extensive training I do it’s nice to have a pair of shorts that fit just right, isn’t too loose and breathes well. Also stylish for casual wear.

That's the Core Short doing its job. Glad the pair we sent is holding up to your training, Joe. Thanks for the honest review.

4-way stretch handles deep squats and kicks, 6.5" inseam is the sweet spot, and the zip pocket keeps my keys locked in. Lightweight, clean look, built for dads who actually train. Love these shorts and will definitely be getting more.

Squats, kicks and keys locked in. That's the Core Short doing its job, Inno. Glad the pair we sent is keeping up with your training.
