These are my go to running shorts for my half marathon training. I loved that they have a zipper pocket where I can hold my car key so it does not fall out while I ’ m running. They are so comfortable and I couldn ’ t recommend them enough.

Love these shorts.... wish I had discovered years ago. Great weight, nice fit and length. Might be a little on the loose side, so if you 're in between sizes go a size down.

Bought for my running husband- he loves the 2 in 1 shorts. These are a great `` narrower '' fit, unlike other brands. Plus the inner shorts liner do n't show too much beneath the hem( which he prefers). Great deal on sale

[ So far, really impressed with Nike ACG! Their line has some very well- designed and functional pieces for all kinds of outdoorsy activities. I ordered these for my brother. Some initial impressions:- They really weren ’ t kidding about the pockets! So many of them( hidden, zipped, small, large, front, back, you name it!). I ’ m not share how secure some pockets are, but in general, very convenient.- The material is very lightweight but sturdy. There ’s a mesh inner layer underneath as well, which looks very breathable and comfy.- The shorts are super adjustable! I accidentally got a large for my brother, but we were able to make it work because of the elastic waist and drawstrings.- The shirts have some loops meant for hiking poles( so cool?!). I bet you could also add a carabiner or something.- I really liked the neutral color scheme. The top of the shorts is gray and has an interesting plaid print.- They are a little pricier than what I ’ m used to, but given the unique features, I think this might be worth it for an avid hiker or if they ’ re on sale. It ’s too chilly to wear these out now, but I ’ m sure they ’ ll be perfect for indoor use or for hikes in warmer weather!

5 JamesM588706668
I had the previous version of these shorts which were already great. These are a definite improvement. So many pockets which are now more accessible and the material is lighter than the previous version. They are probably a bit too expensive so an especially good buy when on sale

5 GGs
[ These running shorts are incredibly light and supportive, giving me the freedom to move without feeling weighed down. Initially, I was skeptical about the length, as it ’s not something I ’ d typically go for, but the design completely won me over. I love the clever pocket that hides the tie strings—it ’s such a thoughtful detail. The zippers are perfect for storing small essentials like my ID and chapstick. The fabric is light, breathable, and great for temperature control during my runs. What impressed me the most was how flexible the shorts were; they moved with me every step of the way, enhancing my running experience. The only thing I ’ d change is opting for a darker shade, as the light gray showed sweat marks a bit more than I would ’ ve liked.

5 Bri
[ I really like the feel of the shorts. When wearing these shorts to play basketball, I loved how they are very lightweight. The fabric provided me with a breathable and moisture- wicking feel that was very comfortable. The shorts were a bit snug when I first put them on but when playing basketball, they were very flexible. The waistband was flexible on my body and didn ’ t dig in my thighs while running. The style of the shorts provided me with ample amounts of space to place my keys and my phone. I also like the inner- lined of the shorts that provide me with support. The amount of space to store things was one of my favorite parts of these shorts, including the loops to latch things onto them. One thing I would change about these shorts would be the fitting of the shorts once I first put them on. The shorts are comfortable but for someone with thicker thighs, the internal lining could cut into the thigh. I would get a size bigger just for my thighs.

5 Faye
[ These are some very comfortable shorts. The design was well thought out. I really appreciated having all of the extra pockets. They fit true to size and the color combo made it easy to match with. While walking/ running the shorts did not get in the way or cause any discomfort. These shorts made it easy to for me to do my hiking, running and walking when I wore them.

Got these few weeks ago and I wear them around the house and when I go for walks. These shorts are so comfortable and they are super light. I like the way they feel just relaxing in the yard. Really nice shorts.

5 Bouldin79
I got these shorts to wear while run/walking. They have to be some of the most comfortable shorts I have owned. Almost like I have nothing on. They are stylish and I can wear them with any shirt I choose. While stretching I could tell how well they are made. Like any product with this brand, you can tell they care about the product they are selling. I had no trouble with sweat as the shorts didnt stick to my legs while walking. I was uneasy about getting these and writing a review. But they will be in my drawer for a long time. After weeks of wearing them.

5 musicdj
I really like the way these fit for a big guy. The length is perfect above the knee for me with no restrictions. So comfortable, soft. I ’ m a big guy and it ’s hard to find something that fits and looks good when I go to my boxing fit club and these get a check in every box.

5 Maple City Madness
These shorts are perfect for doing anything athletic. I ’ ve been using them during all of my workouts. I ’ ve worn them over my compression pants and also by themselves. They are quite comfortable and very flexible. I ’ ve had no issues with them binding or riding up on me during any of my workouts. I train several days a week. This includes stretching, running, plyometric workouts, and baseball specific workouts. These are my favorite shorts to wear in the gym. I like that the shorts have relatively deep pockets and also a small zipper pocket on the left side for keys, wallet or a cellphone.

5 Big 18
VRST Navy Shorts are comfortable, breathable and lightweight. They fit very nicely and are great for indoor or outdoor use. They are stretchy enough to do yoga and Pilates in. Great shorts that are already in my bag.

Just ran the Amsterdam Marathon in these. Wouldn ’ t look anywhere else in future. Perfect fit just helped keep legs turning over with no worry of chafing or getting tangled. Really good and help performance. Back storage in particular is great for quick access.

Bought these for the 2024 Chicago Marathon. They feel compressive and comfortable. Great storage on the back waste band for a cell phone and additional pockets for fuel

These are unreal, really comfortable. They ’ re not like compression tight but tight enough to be on the skin. I ’ m 5. 9 and 76kg and I went true to size( medium).

My son loves these shorts. They are super lightweight and comfortable. The inner lining is very nice, and you hardly even notice it, but it works. He wears these to football practice or just lounging around the house, but they would also be perfect for running.

5 Mike
Great shorts. I love the VRST Brand for workouts, lounging, casual and work. The shorts I got fit perfect according to the size I normally wear. I wore these today as I had a lay low day at home. I also did my workout tonight in them. I have to go get a few more pairs so I have different colors.

The VRST shorts are really great! I wear these shorts to the gym or a casual night on the town! I love the feel of the material on my skin. I wear at least once a week. My favorite shorts and love the color.

5 Sydney
Great pair of shorts. Fits great and very breathable and flexible. Shorts have been worn playing basketball, practicing baseball and worn casually. Fits any occasion. Great quality and appears durable.

5 Petey
Shorts are very comfortable. I wear them when I run, and thus far they have held up nicely for several 4- 6 mile runs. As the weather warms I will definitely try them on longer outings. They do not ride up and the interior lining has not created hot spots. The pocket size if extremely convenient for carrying needed items on the run. They compare extremely well with the name brand shorts I have come to rely on for running, and I will definitely look for more of these VRST 7 '' shorts. The shorts do run a little larger than the other big name brands I have purchased. Consider purchasing one size smaller.

5 Ian L
Love these shorts, have purchased multiple pair now. These are great looking and free flowing on the body for movement with no restrictions making them a great running and exercise short. They are stylish enough to wear out casually for errands or hot weather wear. Pockets are great depth. Highly recommend

5 Noskill
Was looking for lightweight shorts to lounge in for a recent cruise, and decided on these. Extremely light weight, easily packable without wrinkles. Expected to just use for lounging, but so comfortable( feels like wearing nothing) and wrinkle free that I ended up pairing with nice polo and wore to dinner one evening. Would highly recommend and plan on getting other colors.

5 WorkoutPilot
Finally got to put these shorts to the test. I ran three miles then completed a functional fitness workout in these and am now going to order more in different colors! The shorts fit well, felt durable, and are stylish.

5 Audtender77
I can say that I love this brand and have got nothing but quality and this was no exception. I love the material on these, it feels so smooth and buttery like when running. I love the fact that there is no liner on these so I can wear my own liners that I prefer. These wick away the sweat perfectly and fit true to size as well. I love the fact that there are also pockets as well as a zippered one too as a lot of running shorts have none. You can ’ t miss when buying these shorts and or anything from this brand.
