I like these shorts. A child of the 60s and 70s, wearing super baggy knee-length basketball shorts for EVERY occasion seem just weird and unappealing to me. Ordinary shorts— people now call short shorts”—are so much more comfortable, look better, and are certainly better for squats and the like.
That said, Raskol’s sizing is rather off. I bought some size L and now some size M. I am 6’5”, muscular, and weigh somewhat over 230 lbs. my waist measures 37”. If I had followed the sizing chart and bought an XL, it would be huge, nothing like the fit Raskol’s models are showing for these shorts. Even the L is big… not baggy, but certainly loose. And the rise on the L is much too long even for someone my height. I bought some size M and they are perfect. Not tight or binding anywhere, they just fit close to the thigh and glutes like they’re supposed to, and the rise is a more normal length. And still lots of room for a loose fit around my junk. M is perfect. If you want these to fit you correctly, you probably want to go down a couple sizes from what’s indicated on the chart.
