What I like most about these Chouyatou Multi-Pockets is that they are long enough that they come down to my knees.  I followed advice from others who said you need to order a size or two larger, which I did.  I didn't have any problems with the zipper, yes it is metal, yet it works fine in these shorts.  What I didn't like was that there was a hole in the pocket.  I do not understand why there isn't better quality control before the product leaves the manf.
