CRZ YOGAWomens Lightweight Gym Athletic Workout Shorts Liner 4" - Quick Dry Running Sport Spandex Shorts Mesh Zipper Pockets

I love these so much, I bought three pairs, and if this heat continues, I'll probably go back for a fourth.I'm 50yo, 5'7", hovering between 140-145 lbs. I've got a bit of a "mom" stomach and some slight love handles, but I'm naturally more straight-up-and-down than apple-shaped or hourglass.I typically wear a medium or large in Athleta workout bottoms, depending on the cut, and went with the large on these. The medium just fit in the waist, but the fabric pulled quite a bit across the upper hips/lower stomach, so I went with the larges and tightened up the waist with the endless drawstring. The larges flow nicely across my stomach, sit flat on my rear end, and don't ride up in the legs or crotch when I run.The legs are cut straight enough to be flattering, not too tight but they also don't flap around or stick out at the sides. They might not work for someone with super muscular or curvy thighs, but mine aren't exactly twigs, and these fit with room to spare. I tried a similar style from a more expensive athletic-wear brand, and they had super-wide legs with unfinished laser-cut edges that floated out and didn't drape nicely because they weren't hemmed like these are. I looked ridiculous. These are nice enough that I can run errands in them and not feel totally exposed.There's a great zipper pocket at the back of the wide, stretchy fabric waistband that fits my iPhone 11 (without a case) after some maneuvering past the zipper, which is considerably smaller than the pocket itself. It seemed a little awkward at first, but I never notice it at all once it's settled in place. My melanite and arctic plum pairs also have two small key pockets in the front of the waistband (set into the top edge of waistband itself, no zipper), but my navy ones don't have those for some reason. Again, the stretchy pockets are much larger than the openings (which are 2 1/2 inches wide, with no stretch), so you could easily slide a chunky car fob or a chapstick in them, but probably not an energy gel.The mid-rise waist and lack of thick, bunchy elastic keeps them cool even in the DC-area heat and humidity, the fabric breathes well and—most importantly!—doesn't show sweat marks, at least not in the darker colors I bought (melanite, navy, and arctic plum). I don't feel swampy or or chafed in these, no matter how sweaty I get.The quality is excellent, with well-turned reinforced seams and no loose threads or crooked construction. I've washed them in cold on gentle and dried on low dozens of times, with no discernible difference. I'll also note that aside from the missing key pockets on the navy pair, otherwise all three pair were identical. No differences in sizing between the various colors.My only complaint, and I suspect it's more due to my own body shape than any real design flaw, is that the mesh inner lining sometimes feels a little diaper-like and bunchy because my butt isn't curvy enough to fill it out completely. If you've got a bit more junk in your trunk than I do, they'll probably feel fine for you. It's not bad enough that I'm constantly picking at them or trying to straighten them while I run, though, and it certainly wasn't a big enough problem to keep me from going back for two more pair.

I absolutely love these shorts and the CRZ yoga brand in general!! I own them in a variety of colors now. They are comfortable while also stylish. I am five foot two for reference and the length is flattering. These are great for active women/moms on the go. They have a small zip pocket in the back for keys/card. I basically live in these and wear them more than my Lulu shorts.

Cut is not as comfortable as Lululemon and fabric not as light and breathable.Quality of seams is very good and I am curious how long they will last. I have Lululemon shorts that are 10 years old, much used and still going strong.I am 6.1, athletic build and wear size 10 in Lululemon and bought Large for this model, probably the right size for me. Fit as expected, besides slightly tighter front.Would I run a 10k in these? - maybeWould I run anything beyond with these shorts? - no- This is evaluated for running in Texas summer heat -- if you live in a more moderate temp area then you probably are totally fine running in these -The fabric is thicker and less breathable and the front part of these shorts has a tighter cut compared to Lululemon shorts. However, if you have thin thighs then you probably won't notice.I literally live in these type of short throughout the summer and wear them under dresses. For that purposes I find these shorts to be definitely worth the price and quality.Bottom line:3 stars for using these shorts for running in hot temps4 stars for using these shorts in moderate temps4 stars for day to day shorts in the summer

I had a hard time finding a pair for my daughter but the xxs was a perfect fit. Soft and comfortable and similar look to Lululemon.

Nice shorts overall but run a little bit on the large side.

I think these ran a size small. They are also very high waisted. But crz yoga is a great company with a quality product that is affordable!

These shorts are just like the picture, that fits so nicely and are truly lightweight! I wore stripped underwear and they didn’t show at all! The color is literally perfect I need to get the rest of the colors… especially since they’re very comfortable to very during an workout or any activity!

I dont write a lot of reviews but I have to about these shorts. They are absolutely my most favorite workout shorts ever. I was looking and looking for something that was flattering and comfortable and hid sweat. This is it. It is the happy medium between tight spandex shorts and loose running shorts. It doesn't squeeze your thighs like spandex and make you skin pinch in and then bulge out. It's like a soft hug. It's got a great amount of stretch so you can comfortable do squats. They don't ride up and scrunch when doing squats, either, so everything still stays covered. I sweat a lot so the inner liner helps make that. I got a medium like I normally wear and it was perfect. You might need to size down if you have a small backside. I just ordered 2 more pairs and this is not a paid advertisement.

These fit so nice! They're similar to lulus, but much more affordable. I bought the navy ones and loved them so much, I bought another color! Comfortable, and they're very flattering!

I am very pleased with the color, fabric, cut and fit. They are definitely comparable to the Lululemon's Speed Up shorts, except these run larger (yes, despite their size chart in top items). I am 5'9", 150 lbs, 8 in pants size, and took a Small after I bought a Medium. Small is closer to a 6 and medium 8-10. I love and wear both, but I prefer the Small because of the waist size and no excess fabric. I had to pull the elastic up until the end with the Medium for it to be tight around the waist. I won't use the elastic at all with the size Small. Will definitely buy more colors of this.

These shorts are super comfortable and flattering. Good for working out and even to swim in.

These are great shorts! Will definitely order more pairs. Very comfortable, flattering, easy to wash. Excellent alternative to other similar overpriced options (cough, cough...Lululemon.) Great for running or casual wear. Zippered back pocket is great for a key or credit card but won't hold your phone unless you are still rocking a Nokia flip (in which case, respect).They do run a little large IMO. I am usually a small in bottoms, or size 4/6 at lululemon, so I ordered small and I find them roomy. I might try the XS next time.

These are very comfortable shorts! I bought two more pairs after the first order came in. I have many of this company’s products and the quality is excellent. I bought a size up and happy I did.
