Really enjoy the fit and the color of the shorts and look forward to wearing them this week for my first gym session of the week.

The shorts are so comfortable! I love how they have 4 side pockets 2 of them with zippers to put my phone and keys in while I run. The inside liner is comfortable too. 10/10

Softest pair of shorts I own and I like the short inseam. Would love more color options b/c I'd like to buy more!
Nick D. 5/5 Verified
good fit, love the double zipper pockets + regular pockets, liner is a smooth and robust material
Michael R. 5/5 Verified
Shorts are great. Definitely should consider stitching the bottom of the front pockets to the inside of the short, however. Could easily make them the same length as the short and stich that and that bottom seam along the same line.

Ashley T. 5/5 Verified
Love the soft outer fabric as well as the zipper pockets. The liner is a bit heavy for the pool. It doesn’t dry as fast. Overall I really like them.
