The cheap ass academy brand has been great for me. All the name brands have something that annoys me (besides the price). These are light, but not weak. soft/breathable but not shiny & loud, etc.

^^^^ Yep, about $10 too

I like the Target brand, they're around $15 a pair. For gym shorts, I like to go a little cheaper because I can be hard on them. I'll buy 5-6 pairs and rotate them. If they get beat up/torn up, no worries at that price point. I think they're called C9 or something like that. Relatively cheap and quite comfortable. I like my workout shorts shorter than most guys like them, though. Not a fan of the knee length shorts.

There are so many good quality yet affordable options these days. There's no reason why you need to spend a lot on gym shorts, unless you feel better repping certain brands. I have a lot of big name brand and less expensive house-brand athletic apparel. Price and brand haven't been a good predictor of which ones work(ed) best for me. They all make some good and some mediocre stuff.

Academy - BCG is their house brand for general workout gear.

Target - Champion C9 is their house brand.

Walmart - Russell Athletic is their better line of house brand. I would probably avoid Walmart's Athletic Works line.

Old Navy - ON Active is their athletic line.

Costco - 32 Degrees is I believe their house brand. I've never seen it elsewhere. They often have good deals on name brand athletic apparel. Right now they have adidas moisture-wicking workout shorts for $12.99 (SKU 1364733).

On top of that, those big box stores often have sales and markdowns. You can easily find good shorts for under $15.

If you have problems w/ material bunching up, I suggest getting shorts that use two layers of material instead of one. Single layer shorts feel more like underwear.

Have you tried the Richard Simmons brand?

Hind. Nike Pro. Brooks. Asics.

It depends if you want to look stylish or not.

Just going to work out, any old pair will do.

If looking for a date, ratchet it up some. It could be like going to the ski hill or even snowmobiling, ‘dress for success’.

I buddy recently got into snowmobiling with his wife. They don’t go that far, but spent well over $500 to look good on the trail.
