so I have tried a bunch of running shorts and these have been my favorite by far. The reason they are my favorite is the zipper pocket in the back are in the perfect location. These shorts have also heals up very well under heavy use (I run 20 miles or so in them every week). I loved them so much I have bought 5 pairs now! Only complaint is this last batch I bought the sizing feels a little different like they are slightly bigger than before. Still my favorite though.
