Inseam on these shorts is so dang hard to know what's the right size...got lucky on these. Great lightweight shorts, just wish they'd put pockets for cellphone, etc on the side, not on the lap.....break my dang cellphone glass every time!!! Think I'd learn, but its the only dang pocket available when working!!!Pockets are cotton lined, no way to completely close back pockets. Wish they would just bring back the original shorts with the mesh pockets, zips on back pockets and the elastic at the waist. Why do companies change a good product? Drives me crazy!!! My husband says they are ok though.The material is fantastic, lightweight and cool. I'm not a fan of the nylon belt so I stuffed it in a drawer.Really have enjoyed these. Great fit, lightweight material, really does dry quickly. Would definitely buy these again.I have a pair of size 42 Columbia shorts in a different model that fit ok. Got these in a 44 and can't even pull them up. If you're buying a big size because of fit in hips. butt or thighs, seek something else.Fabric felt more like slacks than everyday wear shorts. I returned this item because I didnt enjoy walking in them.Most comfortable shorts I have. They keep you cool and when they get wet, they dry very quickly.nice fit great pair of shorts
