baleaf Men's 5" Running Athletic Shorts Workout Lightweight Zipper Pocket

These lightweight shorts are great. With outside material wicking and mesh inside, I found the combination just want I wanted for running and exercising. Excellent for the hot weather in Florida. Also, their sizing chart is accurate and they fight just right. Highly recommend.

Liked these so much, bought another pair. Great for swimming, running, and yoga.

These are comfortable shorts. They do run a little big and long. I ordered 3 pairs of the 5” length and they were the same length as a pair of 7” shorts. It’s not a deal breaker but something to keep in mind.

These fit perfectly. The light and quick dry material is perfect for hiking and hot weather. The brief liner is similar to some much more expensive Mountain Hardwear shorts at better price point.

Super comfortable! I will be buying these many times over as I wear them out!

I'll leave my original review below and edit it as follows:Within a month or so, the threads securing the elastic in the waist band began coming apart. Within another couple of months the seam of the right-side pocket began to split open. So: These are still comfortable shorts to wear for exercise, but you should lower your expectations when it comes to their quality and durability. Maybe you don't mind having your clothes unravel and start to fall apart within a few months, but for me it affects my buying decisions. It's unfortunate that this manufacturer relies on people's lowered standards or knows that most of the issues with quality will arise after the free return period.ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW:I bought these shorts primarily for running and also for riding my bike and exercising. They're perfect for all of those activities. With one minor exception, there is a lot to like about them.PROS:- Excellent fit: I'm 5'8", 145 lb, 30 inch waist, and I ordered a men's Small. I couldn't ask for a better fit.- Comfortable, supportive liner: The inner liner fits me perfectly, front and back.- Lightweight, quick-drying fabric: The shorts don't cling to your legs if you perspire during a run, and they dry out quickly after washing.- Side pockets have good depth: I can drive my car or ride my bike and not have to worry that anything in the side pockets is going to fall out.- Excellent elastic in the waistband: The waistband securely keeps the shorts up without needing to tie the drawstring, and yet it doesn't feel like you'll have an imprint on your waist when you take them off. (I have a pair of "name brand" running shorts that are nowhere near as comfortable as these shorts, and a lot of that has to do with how restrictive the waistband is.)- Good looking shorts: I really like the length of these shorts. The hem comes several inches above my knee.- Solid construction: I've worn these shorts quite a few times and they've been through the laundry without any sign of loosening of the elastic or fraying of the fabric. They're really well put together.CONSOnly one con, and it's what keeps me from giving these shorts a 5-star rating: The back pocket. I wouldn't let it matter, but they sort of make a big deal about it in the product description, as if it's something very useful. Other than maybe carrying a little bit of cash (not in a wallet) in the zippered pocket, I can't imagine what you can put in there that isn't going to be noticeable and annoying as you run or exercise. The bottom of the pocket sits about 2 inches below the top of my butt crack. If I put my house keys in there they flop around and bang against me, and there's no way I could sit down with them in the pocket. My cell phone is 5.75 inches long, and it doesn't fit into the pocket, although I can't imagine trying to walk around with it - let alone run - if it did fit in there. If they made a pair of shorts that has all of the other great features of these shorts without the relatively useless back pocket, I'd buy them in a heartbeat. (Maybe they do and I just haven't found them on Amazon.)Bottom line: I'm very happy I bought these shorts, and I'll probably order another pair just to have different color options. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these shorts to a friend, but I'd warn them not to expect the zippered pocket to have much use.

Great fit and quality. I enjoy the zipper pocket on the back.middle. it is great to hold car key without bouncing while running. The material is high quality, and well constructed. 5 in inseam is a perfect length, not roo shoet or too long.BALEAF is a brand to.trust.

These are nice and light but I returned because I didn’t realize they have a liner. I would have kept them if they didn’t have a liner.
