A 100% nylon, no-stretch athletic short with embroidered branding, a straight leg opening, and beach-leaning summer use, offered in M–XXXL across many colorways. Fit evidence is brand-level only: Polo's own guidance calls the cut slim and suggests sizing up. No independent reports on this exact short exist, so confirm measurements with the seller before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Polo's own guidance describes a slim, modern fit and suggests sizing up for a relaxed feel — relevant here because the nylon has no stretch. Community buyers report Polo sizing varies by garment, and one reviewer found an XL too small. Ask the seller for flat waist and inseam measurements; the listed tolerance is 1–2cm.
Buy if
For a buyer after a lightweight-hand nylon short with embroidered Polo branding for beach and summer wear, who is willing to confirm garment measurements with the seller first, since the fabric has no stretch and brand guidance points to a slim cut.
Skip if
Skip if you need stretch for movement-heavy training, want a relaxed fit straight out of the bag without sizing up, or want fit settled by buyer reviews of this specific short — none were found, and brand-level sizing reports conflict.

Evidence
Brand reviewers rate Polo Ralph Lauren shorts as a stronger category within the line, noting the shorts tend to be well made with considered details such as coin pockets and distinctive patterns.
SourcePolo Ralph Lauren's own size guidance says the brand is cut for a slim, modern fit, and shoppers who want a more relaxed feel are advised to size up — worth applying to these no-stretch nylon shorts.
SourceIn the r/RalphLauren community, buyers report that Polo sizing is not uniform across garments — some say a smaller size suits regular-fit pieces while others wear a large in slim and a medium in classic fit, so fit should be judged per item rather than by a single Polo size.
SourceSome Polo Ralph Lauren customers complain that even the largest labeled sizes run too small — one reviewer said an XL shirt was "way too small and unwearable," indicating brand-level sizing can come up short.
