SOFFE Men's Ranger Panty Running Short Shorts

Great running shorts! Seem to be very well constructed, fit my 32” waist in a medium and include a hidden pocket for a key if needed. Just be warned… they do show a lot of leg, so if that’s your style then crack on. Otherwise it might be a bit much for some!

As with most people who exercise regularly, I find it hard to get shorts/jeans that fit my smaller waist but also my legs. After reading a few reviews about sizing I was concerned that the medium (32-34") would be too big for my waist but they have arrived today and fit perfectly. They do not have a drawstring but you don't need one, they sit perfectly and are true to size. They are comfortable, supportive and give you the freedom you need. All other shorts seem too long now because short shorts. Plus the misses can't take her eyes off me now.

These shorts and very lightweight so ideal for a hot run in the summer! There are two layers and be warned the outer layer is quite transparent so if you get them wet it leaves little to the imagination! Great for comfortable runs without rubbing!

Great fit, extremely comfortable, just slightly more transparent than I would have liked in green.

These are so comfortable -- I cannot stop wearing them! They're light and breathe well. It almost feels like wearing nothing. These have already become a staple in my work from home wardrobe.

These ranger panties are exactly what I needed to replace my old worn out soffe’s back from my first deployment. Nothing will ever be as comfortable and “freeing” as a good ole pair of ranger panties. Great for beach front vacations where you want to let your glorious man hood breath. Stride around the beach or pool with confidence no matter your “size” and get some sun on those pasty white thighs!

Arrived quickly and as described. Simple, and right for the job. Really good value.

Terrific pair of shorts, lovely lightweight silky nylon material and great to wear. Easy to care for, quick drying and handy internal key pocket. So good I decided to buy a further pair in Black, quick delivery too. All in all, definitely 5 stars.

I love these shorts, I sleep in them. Just enough support and still allows movement. Also keeps me cool while I'm asleep. They are so comfortable and feels great..

Stylische Kult Pantie

Great shorts for relaxing or sleeping in

This is my third purchase of these – my first being a 2pk navy colour size XXL, and the second a black XL. Although the XXL is lovely and loose (my preference over a snug fit), I’m on a slim-down journey anyway, so it will only be a matter of time before XLs will be more to my liking. Apart from learning at that stage that Soffe Silkies are the best shorts I’d ever owned (I’ve worn them every day since I received my first pair, including workouts & swimming on most of those days), I learned that you can be a size-out and still be absolutely comfortable! I decided I wanted to try some of the other colours (OD Green in this instance) and I will continue to order XLs as they will no doubt become looser on me over the coming months. I’ve never liked the feel of liners (I trust & much prefer the feel of my own briefs) so I ended up removing it, although the attached photos are a mix of pre & post liner removal. Fabric: As per my previous reviews, the fabric is super lightweight – you hardly know you’re wearing it. It is the non-breathing nylon type fabric (i.e. not actually moisture-wicking), but unless you’re sitting down continuously with your leg holes clamped to your thighs, plenty of air still circulates around between the fabric and your skin (which is why I suspect they still claim it to be “breathable”). My first pair of Soffe Silkies were worn for approx 14hrs on most days, including for at least an hour each in the gym and pool, and still show no real signs of deterioration to date so I know these new black ones will last well too. They dry in a few mins, except for the elastic/waist band, which takes a while longer depending on the weather/breeze. Colour: Well, they look like the Seller’s OD Green photo to me, just like in the ad, but I’m not really into colours and fashion etc. I just thought I’d try a different colour to my previous pairs. This OD Green pair (or at least the fabric/colour alone) is definitely more more sheer than my navy & black pairs, but a little more obvious with the XL being a more form-fitting size for me (i.e. the looseness of the fabric in size XXL does help reduce some sheerness to a degree). Cut/fit: Having replaced the liner with my own briefs, I’ve found the XL is just as comfortable on me as the XXL! I think removing the liner makes them feel better on because they’re about half the weight and also more accommodating of my shape. They’re not “snug” per se but I also wouldn’t call them baggy because there’s still plenty of room for the air to circulate. When on, I’m no more aware of them than I am with my XXL pair. I’m a big guy with very chunky legs who recently (within the last few weeks) moved from ~107cms (42”) to 102cm (40”) & most people would say these XLs fit me perfectly. They still don’t feel too loose/tight. I am a little less aware of the crotch seam than with the XXL because it doesn’t hang down as much, but the fabric is so light and airy anyway that it didn’t chaff or annoy me with the XXL either. Range of motion with the XL is still excellent – same as the XXL. Pockets: Obviously no different to the XXL - I’d prefer a slightly larger zip-pocket close to the waist band. The little fob-pocket with these is not confidence-inspiring when it comes to security and struggles to fit a car key. If you’re staying upright gravity would keep the key in place, but I just don’t have the same confidence when swimming or in some reclined work-out positions. Active/Exercise: Same as the XXL - fantastic! I will never go back to any gym/swim short that is heavier or longer than these, they’re just so freeing. These keep me cool enough down there and the waist band keeps the shorts of both sizes in place without any issues, including when swimming (I wonder how much that is helped by shedding the weight/drag of the inner liner?). Sheerness & Modesty: Regardless of the colour you choose, the fabric is sheer by nature (as you can see from the photos), however, with the black & navy ones I’ve used so far, the degree of sheerness varies considerably according to the angle/brightness of the light, and surprisingly they seem less sheer when wet and clinging to my skin (probably because the light can’t get in behind it?). It’s inevitable that the liner (or your briefs, if you’re a linerless man like me) WILL be seen in every detail at times by others. They are a loose/airy leg-fit (unless you get a couple of sizes smaller than your usual size), so just be mindful of that when in sitting/lying positions. Another thing to be mindful of with the lighter colours (and certainly these OD Green ones) is that the liner is made from exactly the same fabric as the outer shell, so there comes a point with the lighter colours (OD Green included) where, given the right conditions, two layers of the fabric still won’t fully protect you your parts from being seen. Tthese shorts are revealing in multiple ways, and you will never completely avoid that, but if you’re like me and naturally self-conscious, I’d really like to encourage you to at least try these. I’ve discovered by accident that they’re my super-power. That’s because every time I walk out of the house with these on, my anxiety increases, meaning the adrenaline is abundant, which in turn actually comes in really handy when working out at the gym or swimming! That is, I think my workout/swimming performance has significantly increased not just because of the freedom that lightweight shorts give me, but also because my veins are full of adrenaline whenever I wear them in public. It’s quite bizarre really - I look forward to wearing these wonderfully comfortable shorts so much that I now also dread wearing anything else despite how self-conscious they make me, but it’s been so good for my health and slimming regime, not to mention the flow-on of far-improved mental health. I just wear longer shirts over the top when elsewhere. Conclusion/Summary: I give these five stars, because of the way they’ve helped me turn my health/fitness around so much. Despite naturally being a very self conscious person, I’m now absolutely a convert to lightweight gym/running shorts, and can’t wait to try some of the other colours (even the lighter ones!).
