Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Zendo Shorts

I've been searching for a pair of shorts that are as comfortable as my husband's jockeys and finally found them. I've had issues with women's shorts being too loose, too long, too tight, too short and with waistbands that cinch belly pudge terribly. The waist band on these flatten without feeling tight or restrictive. I'm 6'0 and 150lbs and feel very cozy in a medium. I'll wear these to bed, in the garden, on hikes, bicycling, putting around the house, etc...

Loved these shorts so much, I came back for more. Flattering fit and so comfortable.

Love the quality and the feel of these shorts. Will definitely be ordering more!

Love these shorts! Versatile, cute, comfortable and fit perfectly!

Great fir comfortable waistband great length. Needs a zippered pocket on the back but otherwise so comfortable. New go-tos

Bought these a few months ago and have been very happy with them so far! Mostly I have used them for running and casual wear so far but I think they will be very good for hiking as well. I'm 5'8 and about 150 lbs and got the size 8. Probably could have gone down a size as they are a little loose around the waist but still totally fine!

These shorts are awesome for hiking! Very breathable made with light weight material and absolutely no chafing. I also love that they dry so quickly. Definitely going to purchase another pair.

Very comfy fit

Very comfortable, light, can barely tell they are there! I like the slightly more relaxed fit and slight increase in length over their other shorts.

Loooooooove these shorts! So comfortable and functional. Amazing for hiking and running, and I also love wearing them around the house. The elastic waste is so comfortable. Wish they made more colors in these!

I bought these short for my wife. she is and avid runner and these short have become her go to short. She said the waist band is very comfortable and the short are super light weight.. Awesome running short. She highly recommends. Another quality product from OR

Love the flat waistband and the pocket in the back for keys! Everything stays in place when running. Material is velvety soft!

I've worn these shorts both hiking and running. Great fit. My only complaint is I wish they had more pockets.

If these had a small zippered pocket on the back of the waistband, they would be the PERFECT running shorts!! The length is great, and they are really comfortable to run in. I find that a lot of running shorts with liners don't fit me right, so I appreciate that these are liner-less. I do wish they came in more colors.

Wore these shorts almost every day. The days I did not, I could not wait to go home and put them on. They fit great, not too short and not to long. Wore them boating, hiking, running, lounging, chasing after kids etc. To make these the BEST EVER shorts all they would need is a pocket. Thinking of just sewing one in myself.

Rise too short. Disappointed - would have made perfect shorts for thru-hiking.

These seemed like really nice shorts. They do stick out on the sides a bit and aren’t flat along the leg on the sides. I had to send them back. I got a size 2. I’m 100 lbs, 5’2”. They were too big.
