I was looking for a well-made and modern fitting lined pair of shorts to use when I play tennis. With the explosion of internet manufacturers, it's tough to weed through everything. I tried a few pairs from several of the ones I saw on Instagram - as well from standards like Vuori - along with a 5" and 7" from HILO. Right away you can tell that the materials / quality of manufacturing were excellent from HILO. They just felt solid, like they were going to be durable, but also with light enough materials that they would be comfortable while playing in the summer heat. But - for me - what sealed the deal was that they hit the perfect modern fit look I was seeking. Not too slim, but not baggy with that weird flare at the bottom. These hit that note right on the money. I've washed and worn them a few times, and while its early days so far, it seems they are indeed well made and should give me quite alot of usage. If you're looking for an excellent quality pair of athletic shorts that look and feel great, don't hesitate to try HILO. Also - the 5" was too short for me, and they immediately swapped that one out for another 7" and different color (I went with the Mountain) - so I can also confirm that the customer experience is excellent. Thanks HILO.
