CRZ YOGA Men’s Linerless Workout Shorts – 5” Lightweight Quick Dry Running Sports Athletic Gym Shorts with Pockets

Buying these because it’s a Lululemon dupe? I ordered both. Here are my thoughts…
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.

I hate the lulu lemon comparison
These shorts fit well, are comfortable, and the pockets are quite nice and hold heavier items well enough for me. I hate the lulu lemon comparison though.I own both pairs of shorts and have worn the lulu lemons over the past year and half while having these shorts for about a month. Through multiple wears of these I can tell you there is a noticeable difference for me in comfort, thickness, pocket quality, material, and how the shorts ride up on me. I love the lulu lemon shorts and in a perfect world would buy only those. The only problem is they’re over twice as much as these shorts.Conclusively these are a great pair of shorts that serve well and are worth the money. Objectively, I enjoy the lulu lemon shorts significantly more but when factoring cost relative to quality I give both shorts 5 stars and am glad to own and use both. I am interested in long term quality of these because my lulu Lemons have been through the wash 20+ times and look great with no frays or discoloration.

Great value
The best shorts! I used to buy my husband Lululemon, but the prices are just too high to justify. Ordered these shorts to see if they compared, and he loves them even more than his designer pair. Perfect length, lightweight, comfortable fit, and comes in great colors. Will definitely be ordering again.

highly recommend
5’9 270 lbs overweight… fits perfectly… i recommend this… nice material too…

Los shorts son super comodos. La tela es muy stretch. La tela y el corte los hace muy comodos para hacer ejercicio. Debería la marca sacar más opciones de esta tela y calidad. Los recomiendo ampliamente.
