I was finally able to get a pair of these shorts and am amazed. The flexibility, comfort and fit of the shorts are hands down the best I have ever had. I previously used different versions of the Evo's but these are just on a whole other level. You don't have to be serious about weightlifting to enjoy these. These are comfortable for lounging in the house, hiking or going to the gym. I highly recommend these shorts (I initially purchased 4 pairs of the IconX2 silver but got 4 of the gold, 3 of the grey and 1 of the blue since)
