CRZ YOGAMen's Linerless Workout Shorts - 5'' Lightweight Quick Dry for Running Sports Athletic Gym with Pockets

These are officially my go-to shorts right now. I like them so much I've ordered every color that doesn't hurt my eyes, for a total so far of 9 pairs. They're light, comfortable, and can be worn for just about anything. Since they have a faux fly, and don't have a little v-slit on the sides of the legs, they can pass for anything from workout shorts to casual dress. I've worn them for everything from yard work to a night out. If I could change anything I'd add a small pocket on the back for a cell phone or wallet, but that might ruin how good my butt looks in them. Add more colors, I'll buy them.

These are close enough in quality to the lululemon pace breaker shorts - a bit thinner material, but similar fit and great features. At $28, less than half the price, they're a go.

These are commonly referred to as a dupe of the much more expensive Lululemon shorts. I needed athletic shorts and ordered both at the same time with a 5-inch inseam and linerless to see how close they actually are. I like a good deal, but I am also quite picky about quality and longevity. I read many reviews before buying, and here is the review I wish I had read.So...Are these just as good as the expensive shorts for less than half the price?-Fit:The term dupe means the same exact cut as the original. So, are they a true dupe? They are close.I ordered the 5-inch inseam in the CRZ shorts, and it feels more like a 6-inch inseam, so I tend to roll the band, which makes them feel more like a 5-inch inseam. You can see this difference in the pictures I've provided. Overall, they fit true to size. I ordered a L in both brands, and they fit about the same, maybe with slightly more leg room in the CRZ shorts.-Feel:Many say they feel exactly like the LL shorts. I'm fairly picky and disagree.It's closer in fit than it is in feel. They are not as soft, though they still feel quite nice in their own way. This could be due to the LL shorts' material being brushed in production or the material composition. The LL pace breaker shorts use rayon, which is a more premium fabric than the spandex used in the CRZ shorts. CRZ's material is thinner than the LL pace breaker, which makes them feel "flowy" in comparison. I like how lightweight the CRZ shorts feel. It barely feels like you have anything on.-Finish:You mostly get what you pay for here, with a little caveat...The pockets on the CRZ shorts are much better at accommodating my larger iPhone 11 Pro Max. Very deep pockets. The zipper on the CRZ shorts does feel a bit thinner and not as high quality as the LL. The pace breaker zipper feels sturdier and glides open with ease. The zipper on the CRZ is not as smooth. Hardware like zippers, grommets, buttons, etc., are where some costs were cut.I was hesitant to order these with people complaining about the drawstring fraying from the metal end coming loose after washing. I followed the wash instructions using cold water and air drying. I did not have this problem. I'm inclined to believe it's user error, assuming the metal end was more likely to come loose with heat and friction. The LL shorts use a plastic branded drawstring end, and the CRZ shorts use metal. The metal feels more premium by far.The CRZ shorts have a silicone label at the hem, and the LL have a stiffer plastic label. Silicone labels tend to not hold up as well if they are heat pressed. The CRZ branding seems to hold up well after washes.The color of the CRZ shorts is fairly accurate to the images shown online. I ordered a pair of the Green Sage and Gull Grey.-Final Verdict:Will I be buying more CRZ shorts or more Lululemon? I will be buying more CRZ.With the CRZ shorts, you get a little more than you pay for, and with the Lululemon, I think you are paying more than what you actually get. Comparing these two isn't fair, and I think the CRZ are good in their own way. I will be buying more of whatever lasts longer ultimately and will update this review if anything changes.-TL;DR: Buy the CRZ because they are good in their own way and not because they are a dupe.

good dupe for lulu lemon!! my bf loved them!

So I know that Lululemon and Vuori are popular with guys for athletic shorts but what I do not understand is why you would pay so much for those brands when you can have these shorts! They are breathable, stretchy and so stylish. They do not shrink in the wash. You can get lined or not lined. We have both and love both. My husband and my teen son choose these every time. Do yourself a favor and get a pair!

Great quality for the price, fit a little snug don’t think that getting the size up if between sizes would be a bad move.

I will be purchasing more of these. I wear them daily! Soft, comfortable, great price! You really can’t beat the quality of the materials!

Great value for the money - husband thinks they are comfortable and they look really nice!
