The loose mesh shorts are in excellent condition but the cup has a blue discoloration on the outer plastic. The cup itself is separated from the rubber outer edge and makes direct contact with the skin. It's unable to be pushed together or even glued together... thus sacrificing the integrity of the protective cup. I think the price alone is worth it for the shorts if you're buying other things to cover the shipping cost. Be aware you'll have to purchase an additional hard cup to place inside the jock liner.
