Fabric & Construction Details

Fabric & Construction Details

We engineered our RSQ sweat shorts using a 60/40 cotton-polyester fleece that balances breathability with structure. The cotton fibers provide natural softness and moisture absorption, while polyester adds shape retention and prevents excessive shrinkage. Inside, the brushed fleece lining creates a plush feel that rivals premium loungewear.

Every pair goes through a preshrink treatment before packaging, so the fit you try on is the fit you keep. Reinforced stitching at stress points—pocket openings, waistband seams, and inseam junctions—ensures these shorts hold up to regular wear and machine washing. The flat drawcord threads through the entire waistband channel for even tension distribution, eliminating that one-sided bunch you get with cheaper athletic shorts.


Sizing & Fit Guide

Sizing & Fit Guide

RSQ sweat shorts run true to size with a relaxed athletic fit through the seat and thigh. The 7-inch inseam works for heights between 5’6″ and 6’3″; taller athletes may prefer a slightly longer option, while shorter builds find this length hits right at mid-thigh.

We recommend ordering your usual pant size. The elastic waistband offers about two inches of adjustment via the drawcord, so if you’re between sizes, go with your lower measurement. The leg opening tapers slightly from a 12-inch thigh circumference to a 10-inch hem, preventing that baggy skater-short look without restricting movement during squats or lunges.


Versatile Styling Options

Versatile Styling Options

From Gym to Street

These shorts transition seamlessly across your daily routine. Pair them with a performance tee and training shoes for gym sessions, or throw on a relaxed-fit henley and slip-ons for casual weekend wear. The clean design—no loud logos or graphics—means they layer under joggers for cold-weather warmouts or stand alone during summer workouts.

Color Coordination

Our core palette includes jet black, heather grey, deep navy, and military olive. Black and grey anchor any athletic wardrobe, while navy offers a subtle alternative to standard neutrals. Olive has become a customer favorite for its versatility with both earth tones and primary colors. Many customers stock two or three colors to rotate throughout the week.

Best shorts I’ve bought in years
I ordered these in grey and black after my old gym shorts finally gave out. The fabric is so soft I’ve been wearing them around the house too. They hold up great in the wash and the pockets are deep enough for my phone and keys.

Perfect length and fit
I’m 5’10” and the 7-inch inseam hits right where I want it. Not too short, not too long. The waistband stays put during deadlifts and doesn’t roll over when I sit down. Really impressed with the quality for the price.

Great value, wish they had more colors
These are my new go-to shorts for everything from lifting to lounging. The olive color is awesome. I’d love to see burgundy or charcoal added to the lineup. Fit is relaxed but not baggy, exactly what I was looking for.

Held up through marathon training
I’ve worn these for recovery runs and cross-training sessions all summer. No pilling, no fading, and the drawstring hasn’t frayed like cheaper brands. They dry fast after washing, which is clutch when you’re training six days a week.

Soft without being flimsy
Some fleece shorts feel like pajamas, but these have enough structure to wear outside the house. The fabric is thick enough to feel substantial but still breathable. I bought two more pairs after trying the first one.

True to size and comfortable
I’m usually between medium and large, went with medium based on the fit guide and they’re perfect. Thighs have room to move but the taper keeps them looking clean. Only complaint is I wish the back pocket had a zipper.

Common Questions About RSQ Sweat Shorts

Yes, our sweat shorts follow standard men’s sizing. The elastic waistband with drawcord offers about two inches of adjustment, so most customers find their usual pant size works perfectly. If you’re between sizes, we suggest ordering the smaller option since the waistband stretches comfortably.

RSQ sweat shorts feature a 7-inch inseam measured from the crotch seam to the hem. This length typically hits just above the knee for most heights between 5’6″ and 6’3″. The cut provides full range of motion without excess fabric bunching during athletic movements.

You can tumble dry on low heat, though we recommend hang drying or laying flat to extend the life of the fleece and elastic waistband. High heat can break down synthetic fibers and reduce waistband elasticity over time. Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect the brushed interior lining.

While many customers wear them for light jogging and recovery runs, our sweat shorts are primarily designed for training, lifting, and casual wear. The fleece fabric provides warmth and comfort but isn’t as moisture-wicking as our dedicated running shorts. For high-intensity cardio, consider our active or mesh options built with performance fabrics.

The side seam pockets measure 7 inches deep and easily accommodate most smartphones, including larger models. They’re angled slightly forward for natural hand placement. The back patch pocket works well for wallets or keys but lacks a closure, so we don’t recommend it for items that might fall out during high-impact activity.

Wash your shorts inside out in cold water and avoid fabric softener, which can cause friction that leads to pilling. Tumble dry on low or air dry when possible. If minor pilling appears after repeated wear, a handheld fabric shaver removes surface fuzz quickly without damaging the base fleece.

We currently offer four core colors: jet black, heather grey, deep navy, and military olive. All colors are available in sizes small through XXL. Black and grey are restocked weekly due to high demand, while navy and olive see seasonal availability.
