As an Amazon Vine Voice member, I’m always on the look-out for athletic gear that balances performance with practical features. These ZITY Men’s Athletic Running Shorts are a fantastic find, especially for those who prioritize a lightweight feel and secure storage. Fit, Feel, and Comfort: The first thing I noticed about these shorts is how light and airy they feel. They are perfect for workouts or long runs where you don't want heavy fabric weighing you down. The 7" length is exactly what I was looking for, as they fall just above the knees. The sizing on this Large pair was true to expectation, and they offer a very comfortable fit that allows for a full range of motion during all activities. Functional Features: The standout feature for me is the zipper pockets. I really appreciate that both pockets have zippers to ensure nothing falls out—this is a huge plus when I’m sitting in my car or out on a run. It gives me peace of mind that my keys or phone are secure regardless of my activity level. The color (Stone Blue) was also exactly as pictured, which isn't always the case with online gear. Quality and Craftsmanship: The craftsmanship seems very solid. I did a thorough check of the stitching and could not find any loose threads or manufacturing issues. They feel well-made and durable enough to withstand regular trips through the laundry after gym sessions. Value: At the time of this review, these shorts were priced at $15, which I consider a really great value for the quality and features you get. While their regular price shows as $30—which I think would be a bit overpriced for these—the current $15 price point makes them a total steal. I’d definitely recommend picking up a couple of pairs if you find them at that lower price. Conclusion: If you need a reliable, lightweight pair of workout shorts that keep your items secure with zippered pockets, these are an excellent choice. They are comfortable, well-crafted, and hit a perfect length for most athletic activities. 5 out of 5 stars! Read more
I’ve had these gym shorts now for about a month and have used them to workout at least weekly, if not more. I’ve used them for biking, weights, running, and even relaxing around the house. The shorts are roomy and comfortable to wear. With a strong waistband and draw-string, they stay up well during all forms of activities. The length is perfect. Right above the knees on me. Fabric is thick but still lightweight and breathes well. The fabric is of good quality and seems to hold up well during my different workouts. The shorts perform well during the workout. It stretches well and doesn’t limit movements and doesn’t make me hot and sweaty. As I wear compression shorts under my gym shorts, I can’t speak to any moisture wicking abilities, but they don’t seem to get hot. Washing is easy. Just throw them in with my other gym clothes. They come out clean and with no wrinkles. They run true to size. I’m 6’3 and 250 lbs and wear XL in all of my shorts. The XLs of these fit me perfectly. Best part is, they have zipper pockets! I love being able to zip up my keys or phone and not worry about them falling out on a bike ride. Great overall pair of shorts. Read more
These shorts are great for workouts and everyday wear. The material is lightweight and breathable, making them comfortable for running, gym sessions, or even just lounging. They wick moisture well and don’t feel heavy or restrictive. The zipper pockets are a standout feature and actually useful for holding a phone or keys without worrying about them falling out. The fit is relaxed but still looks clean and athletic. One small drawback is that the fabric can feel a bit thin, and depending on the activity, they may not feel as durable as heavier shorts. A solid choice if you want comfortable, functional shorts with secure pockets for active use. Read more
I picked up these athletic shorts with zipper pockets mainly for workouts, and overall they turned out to be a solid pair of budget athletic shorts. I wanted the zippered pockets so my phone (or MP3 player, depending on how I feel that day) won’t slip out of my pockets on runs. They work great for that. The first thing I noticed is that they’re very lightweight and comfortable. The fabric breathes well and dries quickly, which makes them good for running, gym sessions, or even just wearing around the house. The elastic waistband and drawstring make it easy to get a comfortable fit. I really appreciate is the zipper pockets. They’re deep enough to hold my phone, keys, or wallet, and the zippers keep everything secure while moving around. That’s something a lot of athletic shorts skip, so it’s a nice practical feature. The overall build quality is decent for the price. These aren’t premium athletic shorts, but they’re perfectly fine for everyday workouts or casual use. The stitching and material feel appropriate for a lightweight performance short, and they’ve held up well so far. Overall, these are good value athletic shorts if you want something comfortable, lightweight, and functional. The zipper pockets alone make them worth considering if you’re tired of things falling out of regular gym shorts. Read more
My husband needed summer shorts. He liked that they the material was lightweight and breathable. They were perfect for warm weather. When he's hot, the material allows him to cool off and they also are quick drying if they get wet. The shorts have an elastic waistband with a tie drawstring. An added touch was zippered pockets. There were two front pockets and one back pocket. The zippers are nice to secure your belongings. They fit well and were very comfortable - they even had a little stretch to them for added fit. These shorts are true to size. The style and color are an exact match to the online photo. I feel these are quality and would recommend. Read more
