What Reviewers Say

These shorts feature an oversized, relaxed fit that works well for casual wear and everyday activities. The lightweight, breathable fabric earns consistent praise for comfort and quick-drying performance, especially in hot weather. Multiple zippered pockets provide secure storage and add functional appeal. Note that the fit runs long—extending below the knee—and quite roomy throughout, so sizing down may be worth considering if you prefer a more traditional fit.

Lifestyle Collection is elite
Nike’s Lifestyle collection is incredibly well-made. My photos shows some of the design details. Upgraded zippers, fancy pull string. SPF sturdy material. Double stitching. So many details make these elite shorts. I am happy to have this new collection by Nike!!
The shorts are knee length, so keep that in mind when purchasing.

Nike Tech Helios Sun Short
I liked the fit and feel, especially with the material. The design is a reminder of the 2000s, bringing back longer, roomier shorts. The fabric is a bit stiff yet breathable, but I expect it to soften over time. I really like the pockets having zippers. I would prefer a shorter length.

Comfortable, Versatile, and Ready for Anything
The Nike Tech Helios Sun Shorts have quickly become one of my favorite pairs of shorts. They fit true to size with a relaxed fit that makes them really comfortable for all-day wear. The material is lightweight and dries incredibly fast, which makes them great for everything from working out to spending time outside. I even wore them in the pool one day, and they dried so quickly that I kept…

Lightweight
These shorts are of excellent quality. I particularly appreciate the zippered pockets, lightweight feel, and texture, all of which are ideal for the Florida summer. They do have a slightly narrow fit, so I would recommend considering a larger size for next time.

Very Comfortable
I really love the fit and feel of these Nike Tech Helios Sun Shorts. They are super comfortable and fit well. I love the design and that I can wear them as casual or dress them up. The fabric is well made and seem to be of high quality. Seems to wash and dry very nicely with no shrinkage. My favorite thing about these short is how comfortable they are. I wouldn’t change anything about them. As always Nike never disappoints. Highly recommend!

good
This short has a relaxed, oversized look and the waist is elastic and can be adjusted with a drawstring. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, and quick drying. They are very stylish and perfect for everyday casual wear during the hot summer months. I like that it has many pockets, and all of them have zippers, and they are deep enough to fit my phone.

Fishing shorts!
When I first received these shorts I thought they were going to be too big. Right away I noticed that they were made of polyester and would dry quickly, especially in the sunlight. They hang low over the knee which I like and almost hang wide like hammer pants. I enjoy the large fit and how all the pockets compliment each other and don't have overlap. The fact they all zipper closed with a leash…

Comfortable and well-made, but the fit was weird on me
The Helios Sun shorts are extremely comfortable and well made. The fabric feels great and is lightweight yet feels durable. I could definitely see wearing these on a long road trip or plane travel. The fit, unfortunately, wasn't great on me. These might work better on someone taller, the baggy style was not flattering on my frame.

Great fabric
The fabric is the best aspect. They feel very high quality and durable, while still being flexible. These are on the bigger side of oversized products. So my boyfriend is normally a medium, which these shorts are. They fit snug in the waist but are very baggy everywhere else and well below the knee. Thus, not sure about doing much physical activity in these. Prob mostly for casual wear.

Great Casual Shorts
The Nike Tech Helios sun short are a great oversized casual shorts. The fit is perfect, but they are a little too long for me at this point in life. The dri fit has been great for these hot summer days, and I love the pockets. The uv protection is an added bonus!
