I have three pairs of Zymes, bought at different times, and they all did the popper thing, so I find it hard to believe that this is genuinely the case. I think it's more that as soon as you put any outward pressure on a single popper, as you do when moving around on the bike, the popper simply gives. It's just not a very clever design.
As I said above, it's dead easy to fit a second popper yourself alongside the original and it completely sorts out the problem. Those TNF shorts linked above also use a single popper, but they also have belt loops. They remind me a bit of first generation Sugoi Gusto shorts, which isn't a bad thing.
Where are the reports of 'good poppers' btw, do you mean the 70% okay one where the popper presumably is rubbish for just one third of the time they're worn?
love my zymes but the popper is crap as it pops too easily
just wear a belt
heard lots of good things about oakley, but 2 pairs have disintegrated on me after a few weeks of daily commuting so zymes all the way now

endura singletracks a bit rubbish imno. ripped 'em up.
Mine are ace! Got shorts and 3/4's and they've lasted really well I think.
Never had any popper problems either, but I do use bibs underneath rather than a poppered-in liner short, maybe that makes a difference?

It's the waistband popper that we're talking about, Ben.
