I saw these shorts on a girl on insta and immediately had to ask for details. Ordered same day because I’m a sucker for checkerboard and was very pleasantly surprised when they showed up. The material is thicker than any other brand shorts I own and even though they’re white, you cannot see through them even in the deepest movements. I like the mid rise waist and shorter inseam. I’ve already recommended these to my buddies and will be purchasing others for myself.

I own about 10 pairs of these shorts by now and they never disappoint. I love all the patterns and get complimented on any Barbell Cartel shorts I wear. People always want to know where they are from. The patterns are awesome and when you collect enough pairs, some patterns become discontinued, so you end up with vintage shorts which is fun. I’m always looking forward to new patterns. I’m 5’5 and 132 and always buy mediums. They’re such a great fit, the thicker material creates a smooth, full coverage finish, and there’s very little rolling. They hold up really well. The pairs I’ve owned for years still look brand new.

Nothing beats the quality of Barbell Cartel shorts. They have the best patterns and quality material that prevents anything from being seen that shouldn’t be compared to thinner workout shorts for women from other companies. The colors don’t fade, but I also don’t put them in the dryer. There is also very little rolling up of the shorts when working out compared to other brands. This brand is definitely my go-to for workout shorts.

The pattern is really awesome but the fabric is really bad. Plus, the cut is not at all like what is pictured…

I now own three pairs of this same short in various patterns, and I have decided that they're the only ones I will ever need to buy. They are super comfortable, squat proof, and ADORABLE. They look so good on! These shorts fit true to size. I'm 5'8" 136 pounds, and the size medium is a perfict fit.
