The review title is meant to be taken as a silly joke. These are actually decent shorts; I just love a good play-on-words. I first learned about Helsinki Athletica while on a social media platform. Clearly, the marketing department knows what they're doing. Their ad would constantly pop up - showing their shorts wrapped beautifully around the most perfect legs. A combination of "enough being enough" and a storewide discount was enough to make me pick up a pair. And they're...fine. Honestly, their biggest flaw is how long they take to arrive across the pond. They shipped the same day I ordered, but for a while they were stuck in postal limbo. After a week passed, I decided to reach out to customer service. Naturally, the day I did that was the same day they arrived. Otherwise, they're well-fitting shorts. I wish the drawstring was longer, though. Also, they require special attention when being cleaned in the wash. Tough gear means not only withstanding a tough workout, but withstanding a tough spin cycle. I fear that they'll crumble if I accidentally throw them in the dryer. I'll likely pick up one more pair during the next sale.
