Apparel reviews of Men's Yoga Short by Be PresentCustomer Review: Great for Pilates and Everything Else Rating: 5 Stars
I recently started taking Pilates and was looking for comfortable clothing that I could wear during work on the reformer. My instructor recommended looking at yoga clothing since another of her clients had had good luck doing so. After doing a little research I found myself looking at the Be Present brand. I started by ordering just one pair of these shorts and I like them so much that I went back and bought two more.
My original requirements were:
- That they weren't going to slide either on the padding on the reformer or against my underwear. These were seriously both were issues with standard gym shorts for me.
- That the shorts were loose enough to provide some modesty, while not being so loose as to slide up my thighs while doing inverted forms.
- That they were comfortable.
On all three fronts these shorts met or exceeded my expectations.
When I first got them and realized they had a liner I wasn't expecting to like the liner. But, I gave them a try with the liner and again was pleasantly surprised. The liner is elastic enough that it provides decent support without being overly restrictive. And, the liner helps with the breathability of the shorts.
There's also a little pocket on the right hand side which I've found rather handy to put my gym locker key in while going to/from class. I definitely wouldn't leave a key in there during side sit-ups but it's a helpful feature to have.
After having success with these shorts in pilates I decided to try them out on the cardio floor doing a hi/lo aerobics class. Again, they exceeded my expectations. I again felt like I had more modesty than if I had worn something form fitting, while still not having the feel of gym shorts bouncing around and soaking up tons of sweat. They're also very comfortable to wear out on the elliptical runner. About the only thing I wouldn't wear them for is biking/spinning where modesty goes out the window in favor of bike shorts.
If you're wondering about fit, I purchased the large size. I have a 34/35 inch waist and 24 inch thighs from years of cycling. On me they are just loose enough around the thighs to be comfortable.
All in all I would highly recommend these shorts if you plan to do pilates, yoga, or general exercise.
