I know this is a lame thread, I apologise, but I have been trying for quite a while to find a couple of pairs of replacement shorts for playing squash in. 

Almost everything on the market is the quickdri stuff, which I do NOT want. I need them to be absorbent, not too thick, stretchy to a degree and have an elastic band or drawstring. The reason is when I wipe my hands on my current shorts, they get "dry" where is on the quick dry material, it's not absorbent. 

I have looked everywhere, and googled everything I can think of, but it's quite hard to tell from pictures online. Also some cotton pants have like a layer of "plastic" on them, like some towels, where the moisture sits on top. Unfortunately I don't have a more technical explanation, but hopefully someone understands my gibberish. 

Price isn't a particular issue and neither is buying overseas, except trying them on. 

I'd also prefer conservative colours.

My current pairs are converse and say 100% cotton.
