The Ksmien women’s athletic shorts are a simple, practical option for running, gym sessions and general home workouts. With a lightweight quick-dry design, zip pockets and UPF 50+ fabric, they focus on the basics many buyers want in an easy pair of training shorts.
This version is the 5-inch large in black, which should suit anyone who prefers a shorter sporty fit without going ultra-minimal. For home exercise, walking or outdoor training, they look like a straightforward choice if secure pockets are high on your list.

One of the standout details here is the inclusion of zippered pockets, which can be especially useful if you want to keep small essentials close while moving around. That makes these shorts more practical than many basic gym styles that leave you with nowhere safe for keys or a phone.
The lightweight, quick-dry fabric should also appeal to buyers who want something easy to wear for sweaty sessions, whether that means treadmill work, circuits or a quick workout in the garden. The added UPF 50+ may be a bonus for outdoor use, while the simple black colour keeps them versatile.
- Lightweight athletic shorts for running and gym use

With a 4.5-star rating from 1,313 reviews, these shorts appear to be a popular pick for everyday training. They seem best suited to buyers who want a no-fuss pair for cardio, general fitness and casual active wear rather than anything highly technical or specialised.
Overall, the Ksmien shorts look like a good-value, practical option at this price point, especially if zip pockets matter to you. As always, fit and preferred length are personal, but for a lightweight pair of women’s workout shorts, they are likely to be worth considering.
