NORTHYARD Men's Running Shorts 7-Inch
Product description
The three zippered pockets give these lightweight running shorts a practical edge: your phone, keys, or cards have a place to stay put while you move.
They use a single-layer, unlined design with a slightly loose fit and a 7-inch inseam.
Mesh panels and side splits add airflow and room to move for workouts, basketball, or a walk outside.
Size & fit
The listed 7-inch version has a slightly loose fit and an elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring. That gives you a way to fine-tune the waist, while the side splits are intended to make movement feel less restricted. The shorts are unlined, so they don’t include a built-in liner, factor that in if you prefer extra coverage or support from your workout shorts.
Picture a gym session that moves from warm-ups to lunges, or a quick basketball game: the airy construction and split hems are suited to active movement, while the zip pockets help keep small essentials contained between sets. The two side pockets have reflective trim, which may help you stand out in dim light, though it isn’t a substitute for dedicated visibility gear.
Pros
- Three zippered pockets: two at the sides and one at the back.
- Lightweight, breathable fabric with moisture-wicking and quick-dry features.
- Elastic waist with an adjustable drawstring for a more personalized fit.
- Splash-resistant fabric and a UPF 50+ treatment, according to the maker.
- The unlined, single-layer build suits shoppers who want a simpler, less layered feel.
What matters more for your routine: a built-in liner or pockets that close securely? You’ll appreciate it if you want a lightweight pair for the gym, running, walking, or casual wear and prefer to choose your own base layer. It’s not for you if a built-in liner is a must, or if you need shorts designed for sustained heavy rain, splash resistance doesn’t make them waterproof.

Should you buy it?
These make sense if you want one pair of shorts for training and everyday movement, especially if secure storage and an unlined feel matter more to you than built-in compression or a liner. Compared with basic pull-on gym shorts that leave pockets open, the zippers add a useful bit of security, compared with more specialized rain or high-visibility gear, this pair has a narrower role. Choose it for workouts, basketball, walks, or casual wear, but look elsewhere if you need waterproof protection or a lined interior.
