I usually buy the g-graduals from Amazon but they fall apart pretty quick plus I don't like the zipper pockets. You also can't comfortably conceal in them even when tied tight. I don't mind spending 30-40/pair if they're good and will last. I prefer 5" inseams since they look like normal length shorts on me

Hanes shorts Amazon

$10. They're comfortable and last forever. I wear them at the gym, or working outside.

DCG 6" is my go to for cheap shorts (from Dicks). I am 6'3", 190, may be long for you but they may have a 4-5"

I have been gifted Vuori, Birddogs, Motier, Lululemon which are all nice shorts but I am too rough on stuff to buy $50+ gym shorts

I seem to have them all.

I haven't found a pair of cheap shorts that I actually like yet. I keep trying, but they always fit weird or feel like I'm wearing plastic.

Maybe I'm just too bougie now, but I find myself wearing my Ten Thousand shorts more than the other "high end" shorts like Vuori or Lulu.

Path Projects are more running focused shorts, but I wear them a lot to the gym as well because they have so many pockets.

I like ten thousand shorts

Hell on sale I don't think fabletics stuff is bad, I prefer their gym shirts to most

Ten thousand's versatile tee was my favorite, but they changed it and to me it's not the same

I have BCG, Nike, and Coofandy (Amazon).

I would love to spend money on nice shorts but knowing me, I would get grease on them or rip them doing work in the yard/garage.

I bought ~10 pairs of these when they are $10 each a few months ago. I wear a pair a day and thus far I have zero complaints about them

What length inseam did you go with? I like how they have zipper pockets. I generally wear gym shorts to LSU games since its hot as frick for 90% of them, and I like the idea of my wallet and phone not falling out of my pocket when I've been drinking all day.

I do the 7" - 6'0" kind of long legs for reference. They sit comfortably above the knee but not too short that my balls hang out when I squat down

Are the pockets deep?

Also, I'm looking at the reviews, and this picture cracked me up

Deep enough for a phone to zip closed.

I don't look like that. But even if I did I have too much pride to post a picture like that.

I'm currently sitting at work wearing these and the pockets are what prompted me to start the thread . They're awesome quality for $12 but I absolutely hate the zipper pockets. They are horizontal instead of vertical and I feel like I'm too retarded to figure out how to easily zip/unzip them.

I like the Maamgic ones off Amazon. Generally $25-$30 each. I love the built in compression liner that has a phone holder and 5" inseam. There are side pockets plus a back zippered pocket that I can put my license and credit card in. I'm 5'11" and 165 pounds, so anything longer looks dumb on me. I run, hit the gym, play beach volleyball and pickleball in them.

I need something that will hold an Iphone 16 Plus in a zippered pocket for bike riding. Will Maamgic do that? How big is the compression liner phone holder? I was a fan of Ten Thousand shorts but they are ridiculously expensive and their zippers don't last. I have some Costco specials but the pockets are huge so the phone sloshes around.

Are you talking about the G Gradual shorts I linked? My zippers are most definitely not horizontal. They are the same as the picture in the link
