Fabric & Construction Details
We manufacture RSQ mesh shorts from 100% polyester mesh that balances durability with airflow. The open-weave construction allows heat to escape while maintaining enough opacity for confident wear during any activity.
Reinforced flatlock seams prevent chafing during high-movement activities like basketball or interval training. The fabric resists pilling and maintains its shape even after dozens of wash cycles, so your shorts look new season after season.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Our mesh shorts feature a relaxed fit through the hip and thigh with a 9-inch inseam that hits just above the knee for most body types. The elastic waistband stretches comfortably to accommodate your natural waist measurement without digging in.
We recommend ordering your standard pant size for the best fit. The adjustable drawcord lets you fine-tune the waist tension based on your preference and the day’s activities. If you prefer a looser fit for lounging or a snugger feel for running, simply adjust the cord to match your needs.
Care Instructions
Machine wash your RSQ mesh shorts in cold water with similar colors to preserve the fabric integrity and prevent fading. We recommend tumble drying on low heat or air drying to extend the life of the elastic waistband.
Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the mesh fibers and reduce moisture-wicking performance. The quick-dry polyester typically air-dries in under two hours, making these shorts perfect for travel or back-to-back workout days when you need clean gear fast.

Common Questions About RSQ Mesh Shorts
While our mesh shorts are made from quick-drying polyester, they’re designed primarily for athletic activities rather than swimming. The fabric will get wet and dry quickly, but we don’t include features like drainage grommets or chlorine-resistant treatments that dedicated swim trunks have.
For water activities, we recommend choosing shorts specifically designed for aquatic use. Our mesh shorts work best for gym workouts, running, basketball, and everyday casual wear.
We recommend measuring your natural waist where you normally wear your pants and comparing it to our size chart. Small typically fits waist sizes 28-30 inches, while medium accommodates 32-34 inches.
The elastic waistband and drawcord provide about 2 inches of adjustment in either direction. If you’re between sizes and prefer a looser fit, size up. For a more fitted athletic look, stay with your standard size.
No, RSQ mesh shorts are single-layer construction without a built-in liner or compression short. This design maximizes breathability and allows you to choose your own preferred undergarment.
Many customers wear compression shorts or athletic underwear beneath these for added support during high-impact activities. The relaxed fit accommodates base layers comfortably without restricting movement.
Our polyester mesh uses a tighter weave than typical athletic mesh, providing good opacity when you wear appropriate athletic underwear or compression shorts underneath. The fabric is not see-through under normal lighting conditions.
We’ve engineered the mesh density to balance breathability with coverage, so you get excellent airflow without sacrificing modesty during workouts or daily activities.
You can wash these shorts after every wear without worrying about premature wear. The polyester mesh is designed to withstand frequent washing and maintains its shape and color through dozens of cycles.
We’ve tested our RSQ mesh shorts through more than 50 wash-and-dry cycles in quality control, and the fabric shows minimal fading or stretching. Cold water washing and low-heat drying will help extend their life even further.
Yes, we offer a 30-day return and exchange policy on all RSQ mesh shorts. If the size doesn’t fit as expected, you can return them for a different size or full refund as long as they’re unworn with tags attached.
Our customer service team can help you determine the best size based on your measurements before you order, which reduces the likelihood of needing an exchange. Contact us with any sizing questions and we’ll guide you to the right fit.
RSQ mesh shorts excel in any activity where breathability and freedom of movement matter. Customers wear them for basketball, weightlifting, running, cycling, casual sports, and everyday errands around town.
The versatile design transitions easily from workout to relaxation. The moisture-wicking fabric and quick-dry properties make them especially popular for hot-weather activities where traditional cotton shorts would stay damp and uncomfortable.
