What kind of fabric are these made out of? It looks like swim shorts material, rather than traditional cotton shorts. Please confirm. Thanks

It is not cotton. Material is similar to board shorts but with stretch. Very comfortable. Does not bind with movement. The 'velcro' closure on the front does irritate the skin, but I might just be to 'sensitive'.

Just checked my husbands. Tag says 100% polyester. So definitely more like board shorts than heavy cotton.

They're more of a stretchy board short material. I like the fit and I can move in them well.

I don't know the exact material but it is a good stretch material. I wouldn't buy these though...the Velcro will rub against your skin at the front and irritate you. There are better shorts out there that are cheaper.

Polyester material. They work awesome for crossfit and running. I have four pair :)

They are a material more like swimming shorts. Cotton would easily rip at the seams when doing full-range movements like you would expect to do in these shorts. This fabric allows much less restricted movement. Better than cotton for that purpose.

It doesn't say on the box. Doesn't feel like cotton, but feels like polyester made. The kids had fun with these at the park for several hours, and they are still in good shape. I recommend.

I don't know what they are made of, but it is not a shiny plastic. More like a thin man-made fabric; most-likely breathable. I wouldn't check it with an airline, but it works fine for my boys to use for the use I have which is mainly storage and local travel.

No, it's microfiber...I thought it was cotton. It is very comfy, but I wouldn't have purchased them if I had known.

Well, I can say this (because I've had them for a couple months now) it doesn't wash like cotton. It washes like micro-fiber and feels like it. IF it is cotton I'm confused. /shrug

o.k. after several tries and going straight to their website,i became more confused as to what was made of what.I finally just called customer service and talked with a very helpful young man who cleared it up.the classic top is made of ultra thin knitted polyester,the underside waterproof barrier is made from 100% polyurethane. There are no pvc's,vinyl, or and he was unsure of the pronunciation and spelling,but it doesn't have pthath's either(your guess is as good as mine on the last one). The premium is 100% cotton terry.I still love the product no matter what it's made of.

My opinion is that they are much better thn my previous shorts. I might add that I have had a gel pad set cover for years - if you don't have one I suggest that you try it.

They seem to be a kind of mix of nylon and cotton. They are durable, whatever the material is. My children have used and re-used their bags since we bought them for a birthday party in October.

The fabric seems to the a treated material not sure if nylon or light canvas type material. Is not plastic, seems to hold up well. When the sun finally ruins this one, I will try to buy this same type again.

My curtain is 30% cotton & 70% polyester. Also washes and hangs beautifully. I've had mine for a pretty long time now, (I think maybe 12-15 years but I'm not sure) and I have no desire to change my ocean side theme any time in the near future.

Hi the fabric is a soft velvet type of material. Very nice in light grey color.

Yea the backing is like a terry cloth. The front is soft cotton. They don't have the plastic fabric on the back. My daughter is a constant drooled right now and very rarely does her shirt get wet. There has to be a major saturation for that to happen. Not bad at all for the price. They work great.

The material is a nearly perfect and very lightweight (6.14 ounce fabric weight) 65/35 polyester/cotton, breathable durable ripstop blend that feels very comfortable against your skin. However, the only stretch is in the action waist band but nothing in the actual fabric.These shorts are also nearly wrinkle free after washing and dry fairly quickly when wet. They are great for wear in the subtropical climate that I work and live in. If you are looking for something heavier say a canvas material for cooler climates that do make a 8.5 oz. canvas cargo short that may be better that environment. Hope this helps!

They're like sweat pants. They're very different than T-shirt material. If you've never experienced under arm our material you'll love it! Also, the bottom of open... Hope this helps!!

I was led to believe they're bamboo. To be honest I couldn't distinguish them from cotton, but we ordered extra bamboo inserts and received the same thing

I imagine a form of polyester. It's very comfortable. I think it comes in different fabrics also.

The ones I ordered are a combination of cotton and synthetic material. They are incredibly thick, strong and durable. They are a medium weight sock breathable and very comfortable. I highly recommend them!
