Sharp Slimming Shorts

Lovely shorts for an upgraded athletic look. My husband lives in scrubs so getting him into real clothes is a bit of a struggle. He mostly has shorts from LL, however, I picked up a couple pairs of Zellas on sale and now he's obsessed. For reference he's 6'4", 270lbs, longer torso, no behind to speak of and we ordered XL. These bad boys stay up and look nice with no issues. Will purchase again.

Not as pictured. Boxy fit, and material was stiff; hubby didn’t even want to see if washing helped.

Great color but huge

Zella shorts for men used to be sized consistently, but now it’s a crap shoot as to what you’ll receive. The XL was huge.

Great shorts

Great light weight training or lounge shorts. The leg opening is a good size. Not baggy but leaves room. Nice length too. I’m 5’10 and the ride just above my knees. I wear 33’ waisted jeans. Size medium fits great. I didn’t give 5 stars because I’m not sure how durable their the thin fabr will be.

Excellent gift

I got these for my husband for a Christmas gift, and he loves them! They do not have the typical athletic wear liner, and he likes that for coaching, playing sports in the yard with the kids, etc. Great for everyday activewear, and I’ll be buying them in multiple colors for him. Highly recommend!

CHANGED THE DESIGN... NO ZIPPERED POCKET

I ordered a bunch based on past purchases during the anniversary sale to find out that they no longer have zippered pockets which were the BEST FEATURE on these shorts. I will have to sadly return all shorts. Other than that, very well constructed-- thicker than Under Armour, Nike, Adidas shorts--- and last a long time through rough and tumble wear. But very disappointed that it no longer has zippered pockets.
