I bought these shorts from a local running store primarily because they were on the shorter side, had a split, and had a zipper pocket. The shorts themselves are very comfortable, breathable, and light, even in the hot summer months but still feel like they are made from good materials. Although it may vary person to person, I noticed that the shorts tended to ride up a little bit if I did not knot the drawstring pretty tightly. However, even when the drawstring was tight, the shorts were still very comfortable. The only issue I've had so far is with the zipper pocket. I primarily use the pocket to store my house key on runs. Since the pocket is on the front of the thigh as opposed to on the back of the shorts, it feels like my keys jostle around a little more. I stopped at a crosswalk during one run and noticed that because my keys had been moving around, they had poked a hole through the lining of the pocket and had started to work their way out. This was probably my third or fourth run in the shorts. It's a little disappointing to have the pocket get a hole after that many runs, especially as the shorts are pretty nice in all other respects and the zipper pocket was a big selling point for me. The shorts definitely have a place in my rotation, but I will need to find another solution to store my house keys.
