Purchased both a pair of the navy and black pocket bike shorts; exchanged the black for a larger size so all-in-all have had 3 pairs of these shorts in my home in the past couple of weeks. They all smell horrible. Customer service has been great and refunded my money but I feel compelled to write this review as I have tried. Several. Ways. to get out this smell and it does not budge. I have washed them three separate times, I have tried stripping them with borax and washing soda TWICE. I have washed them with special detergent. The smell remains. I think these would be great shorts but the smell is so bad, they are unwearable. I've never encountered a smell like this but once before with a pair of Lularoe leggings, and it came out they had pallets of them sitting outside in the elements and molding, so take from that what you will. I hope GC will figure out what the heck is happening with their supply and address it.

Seams aren’t smooth anymore, stitching is low quality. Been a girlfriend customer since the beginning (remember the free legging promo?) but I’ve gotten two pairs of these over the last two years and both have the same problem. It’s too bad, but I’ll probably be switching workout gear to another brand.

These brown compression shorts are both stylish and functional. The fabric is supportive without feeling restrictive, and the fit stays secure during movement. They wick away sweat well, making them comfortable for workouts or all-day wear. The color is versatile and pairs easily with other gear.
