adidas Men's Essential Three Stripes French Terry Short sits in our men listings, where we rank by how buyers actually rate a product rather than by brand. The manufacturer says: 55% cotton, 36% polyester (recycled), 9% viscose. Those are the seller's own claims rather than our testing, so treat them as a starting point. On Amazon it holds 4.5 out of 5 from 1,468 ratings. What that score is worth next to its rivals is set out below.

How it compares in Men
Across the 47 rated men products we track, the typical score is 4.4 out of 5. This one sits at 4.5, which is around the middle of the category. Ratings alone will not separate it from its rivals here, so price and the specifics below matter more than the star count.
It carries 1,468 ratings against a category median of 7,818. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.
On price it sits in the middle third of a category running from £5.90 to £60.00, where the midpoint is about £19.99. That is the part of the range where most sensible buys sit, neither cutting corners nor paying for the name.
