The Rhone Pursuit Short Lined 7" is a gym-and-run hybrid with a medium-compression liner and a zippered pocket. It costs about $84, based on Rhone's installment pricing and a retailer listing, though Rhone's own page would not display a price when we checked. Rhone's page promotes it as Men's Health's best workout short. It is a solid middle-of-the-road choice for people who split time between the gym and the road, and the liner is the main thing to like or dislike.

On this page
Fit and sizing
Sizes run S to XXL, and the page shows six colors: Dark Asphalt, Black, True Navy, Asphalt, Vintage Indigo and Bright White. A retailer listing notes it fits slightly large based on reviews. Rhone also offers an unlined option. Rhone's page lists 7 inches in the title but a different figure in the size table, so confirm the length before buying. The shorts finder can help.
Fabric and feel
Rhone's page gave no fabric percentages. REI's listing for the unlined sibling shows 71% nylon and 29% elastane, and a retailer lists the lined version as nylon and elastane. The lined version has Rhone's F.I.T. Liner, described as extra soft and spacious with medium compression.
How it performs for training
Pockets: two hand pockets, one zip pocket and two drop-in pockets on the liner according to a retailer listing. The drawcord can be worn in or out and the logo is reflective. Rhone's headline claims, such as no chafing at mile three, are marketing and unverified. Owners often use it for both gym and running. See our best running shorts for men.
Price and value
At about $84, it sits between the Vuori Kore at $78 and the Ten Thousand Interval at $98. Rhone's page advertises free U.S. shipping at $125 and free returns within 45 days; confirm on the Rhone page.
Alternatives
For a looser feel, the Kore. For more pockets, the Interval. For a cheaper liner-and-zip option, the Under Armour Launch Elite.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you dislike compression liners (choose unlined) or want a published fabric breakdown on Rhone's own page.

The verdict
A well-rounded hybrid short with a supportive liner and decent storage. Rhone's page gave mixed price and fabric information, so confirm details at checkout, but at about $84 it is a good fit for gym-and-run use, and the unlined option helps if you want more airflow.

Notes: Rhone's own page blocked automated fetch (Cloudflare) and showed 'Loading Price'; price from Rhone's Afterpay line ($21 x 4) and CorePower Yoga retailer ($84). Fabric from REI listing of the unlined sibling; Rhone's fabric section was empty. Page lists 6 colors and 7" in the title with a lined/unlined option; the size measurements on the page listed 5" for size M (conflict), so 5/9 inseams were not asserted in attrs beyond 7" confirmation.
