These shorts are lightweight with quality fabric. Very comfortable.These shorts have a lightweight fabric. Has some stretch but I would prefer a bit more. I ordered my regular size of large however even with the little stretch they are tight around the waist. I would suggest ordering one size up. I figured with spandex and polyester it would stretch more but the waistband doesn't have much give to it. But I love these shorts, I just wish I had ordered up in size. I'm 160 and 5'3. They are longer in length which I like. Has side zipper pockets. Fast wash and dry with these shorts.Other than that, these shorts are great. I'm sitting her wearing them as I write this review. I am gonna love these. I'm just going to get peeved whenever I try to use that right pocket with its sticky zipper.Fit as expected. It is nice to have some cool hiking shorts that have pockets that are not only deep enough to fit my phone, but zip closed so the phone stays in my pocket! I am 5'7" 140lbs & the size Large fit perfect. Would recommend.I ordered these in a L but should have gotten an XL. I usually wear a 12/14 and these fit tighter than I like around the hips. They are 12% spandex so, unfortunately, not a lot of stretch. But I can still wear them with an oversized shirt and because of the leg length of over 6 inches, they look very nice.The zippered pockets make it easy to secure items so they don’t fall out while exercising. The upper pockets are 9” high and 5” wide which easily holds a cell phone or other larger items. The lower side pockets are 5” high and 6” wide. Lots of options for carrying things!The high waist lays nice and does not roll like can happen in other similar shorts. The inseam length is also longer than many running shorts at 6+ inches.The only thing to be a little wary of is that the fabric is slick and noisy when you walk. But other than that, these are a great pair of athletic shorts.These shorts are perfect! The material is durable, super light, and good at wicking moisture, while still being slightly stretchy. I love the high, wide waistband (note that it is super high, well above my navel, if that’s not your thing). By the measurements on the size chart, I was at the far upper end of size small, so I got the medium and it fits perfectly. The length is just perfect to be good for athletic things but also other things when I wouldn't want shorter running shorts. The pockets are handy but lie flat so no extra bulk. I love the length and will be wearing these for hiking, ultimate Frisbee, and just everyday wear since they look a little dressier than typical athletic shorts. Definitely want to get more of these!I usually am between a medium and large and I ordered a large to be safe. When I took them out of the package, I immediately thought they were way too small. The waist looked pretty tiny. I put them on and realized that they are high waisted and that narrower part of the waistband sits much higher than usual shorts. I actually ended up loving that, as it acts as light tummy control. This also keeps the shorts in place with just elastic. I do notice that when I sit down, they do have a tendency to 'roll down' a bit at the waistband. I think this is mainly due to my muffin top stomach roll. That didn't really change my opinion that I really liked wearing them.The fabric is very lightweight which is great for exercising. I wore them playing pickleball and was happy with the fit.If you like your shorts loose, for sure order a size up from your normal size. If you don't like high waisted clothing, these shorts probably aren't for you.
