I know, I know — I just posted about shorts. But it’s summer, and if there’s one category I’m never going to stop talking about, it’s the one I’m wearing basically every single day right now.

If you’re a Birddogs guy, you already know the appeal: built-in liner, no wrinkles, easy to throw on and go. I love mine. But I recently picked up a pair of maamgic Men’s Casual Shorts with Compression Liner, and honestly? They hit almost all the same notes for about half the price.

What’s Actually Good About Them

• Built-in compression liner — no more digging for the right underwear, just like the Birddogs setup
• Wrinkle-resistant fabric — pull them out of a bag or a drawer and they still look put together
• Tons of color options — easy to build out a full rotation
• Two length options — 5″ and 7″, so you can pick your comfort zone

I went with a couple of the 5″ pairs to, in my own words, “show off my thunder thighs.” No regrets. They’re comfortable enough that I forget I’m wearing them, which is really the whole point of a good pair of shorts.

Who These Are For

If you love the Birddogs feel but don’t love the Birddogs price tag, these are worth a shot. They’re not a 1:1 clone, but for casual wear — errands, backyard hangs, walking the dog, whatever your summer looks like — they hold up.
