- Mens Original Silkie Ranger Panty, Running Shorts

I bought a single pair of these not knowing if I'd like them. The day I received them I ordered the two-pack. I would like to order a 100 pack. These are so comfortable, light, airy, and breathable. I wear them around the house, I've slept in them, and mostly I've been wearing them as daily underwear. I think if I was going to wear them to the gym or some such I'd prefer a size larger, which I might try soon, as I like boxers a bit smaller than top layer gear. Of course I wouldn't also need underwear. I'd stick to dark colors due to the shearness of them in public. They're made of 100% NYLON, which is for me the gold standard for hard-wearing, long lasting shorts and underwear. I first bought the green (nice) then the steel or charcoal (also nice) or whatever and now I'm going to order another 2 pack in brown. Thanks and stay frosty.

I have spent a great deal of time looking for shorts like this. All the major brands has nothing sensibly short these days due to the fashion trend of shorts that hangs down to your knees. Hay with more and more global population are obese this fashion tide seems no end in sight. In recent years I have better luck finding my shorts in Asia trips. Even then finding one with the right cut and build quality is more miss than hit. I was close to giving up looking on Amazon until I see this. I was very skeptical so I order only one to see. It exceeded my expectation. I am 6’ 150 lb with 32 waist. Thinking these are likely from China where no name brands for domestic market tends to be sized very small I ordered L. It fits me nearly perfectly except the waist band feels slightly loose. The cut is very nice with about 2 ¼” inseam. Without the excessive pleats it does not have the all too common oversized miniskirt appearance. The waist band on the front wears very close to my belly button and I like that. There is no ugly brand logo which is nice. The tiny pocket is barely big enough for a small house key and is typically insecure. The stitching quality is as good as the major brands costing three times more. Yes, running shorts are the biggest rip-offs from the usual suspects. The key is to buy them off season. These are made in El Salvador. Sold and shipped by Amazon. I ordered the graphite instead of my usual black and very glad with the choice. Thankfully it is not the usual sick light grey but quite blackish as graphite should. The fabrics of outside and the liner look and feel identical. They are very soft and supple, and very comfortable to the skin. The liner’s cut is perfect everywhere. It is made of three panels instead of the common two. None of the common cutting across the cheeks at the back feeling. The elastics around the legs as well feel nice and well stitched and sized. The liner breaths well so these are perfect for the hottest of weather. I test worn it for hours around the house and this is one of the most comfortable shorts I have bought in recent time. There is no bothersome static cling. Wanting a perfect fit, I am ordering a medium of the same color. If medium does not feel too tight I will a few. Amazon has a winner here in price as well as quality. They are perfect for wearing around the house as well as active activities. A good small purchase makes me smile.

I am opposed to spending too much on workout clothing, I also do not like running shorts or shirts that are not purpose-built for running and am fairly picky in this regard; the clothes cannot be too long, too heavy, have too much stitching, the stitching cannot rub, etc... I also (for better or worse) am not a slave to trends and could not care less how my clothes look while I'm sweating my *$$ off running from the middle-age spread and poor health which come from inadequate activity. I wear them road and trail running. I do not wear them to the gym. These shorts are very light. The material is wispy-thin. They have no pockets (except for a very small key pocket inside the elastic band) or zippers, snaps, buttons, or ties. They are lined, but there is no extraneous material for decoration or otherwise. Regarding that last point, pay attention to the inseam length on these. I do not wear these to the gym because these things are as close to naked as I can comfortably get and still feel within the law when I am outside the house. There are those among your friends and relations who may mock your short-shorts (the runners won't), because these shorts are extremely short. The word 'short' appears in that last sentence 4 times for a purpose. You have been warned. Even I -- thick-skinned as I might be -- have to keep reminding myself that the green version of these are worn by Marines for PT (physical training). How embarrassed can one be dressed like a Marine? And while I am running in them, their brevity is a feature I love -- it adds to the feeling that they aren't even there. A concern I had when I first bought them was that their thinness was an indication that they were not durable. That has not proved to be true. This pair is my second, and the first has lasted for years with only minor pilling in the liner. No dead elastic, no wear holes, no undone seams. The same cannot be said for a big name brand pair which I have had for less time and which cost twice as much on sale! Finally the regular price is unbelievably low, especially for purpose-built running shorts, and Amazon usually discounts them further. If you're a value-shopper and you run for your health or pleasure (not because you look awesome while running), and you are somewhat thick-skinned against the inevitable taunts of your loved ones, these are great. Otherwise...you will have to spend more and be less comfortable.

I have purchased these for like a decade... now the latest batch is clearly different. (late September 2025) they are baggier and longer :( There's nothing more attractive than a man confident enough to wear these shorts... and they're just darn comfy and perfect for all types of workouts and lounging around. That said, now that they're slightly baggier and longer, I'll look for something else. Also, not quite as "silky" of a fabric. It's slightly stiffer - not as soft. Bummer :(

The Soffe Men’s Authentic Ranger Shorts have been a consistent staple in my wardrobe for years. They are exceptionally versatile, performing well during gym sessions and yard work while remaining comfortable enough for lounging. Given their superior comfort and fit, I have even integrated them into my daily routine as my preferred underwear.

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!).
