Hyperflex Mens Gym Shorts 5ft 7ft 9ft Inseam - Stretch Athletic Shorts

In this review of the Hyperflex Mens Gym Shorts the bottom line is simple: these are workout shorts built for people who move a lot and want secure storage. The shorts are best for runners, lifters and cross training athletes who need a mid-weight, stretchy fabric that manages moisture and holds its shape. The reviewer found the fit true to the brand guidance, with a useful recommendation to order one size down for a slimmer profile, and the angled zipper pockets stood out as the single biggest practical advantage during workouts.

Key Features

• Stretch performance fabric: The polyester/spandex blend provides mobility for squats, lunges and running without feeling flimsy.
• Multiple inseam options: Available in 5 in, 7 in and 9 in lengths so you can pick a cut that falls 3-4 in above the knee, 1-2 in above the knee, or at the knee respectively.
• Secure angled zipper pockets: Large, deep pockets with YKK zippers keep a phone and small items secure and out of the way while training.
• Comfortable waistband: Elastic waistband with a drawstring stays put during dynamic movements and allows easy adjustment for fit.
• Durable construction: Flat-lock stitching and a medium weight fabric feel more substantial than thin gym shorts while still wicking moisture.

Who It's For

These shorts are for men who want versatile training shorts that work for running, weightlifting, WODs and yoga; the medium weight fabric and stretch make them suitable for athletes who need both coverage and range of motion. The secure zipper pockets are particularly useful for anyone who carries a phone, keys or cards during a workout and wants them out of the way.

Those who prefer a very loose, oversized fit or a different fabric hand may want to look elsewhere, and if you want compression liners built in these shorts are not advertised to include them. Also consider your inseam preference carefully and use the size chart to get the length and fit you expect.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable stretch fabric that supports a wide range of motion for running and lifting.
