The shorts are great, lightweight, with built in full coverage panties, and a pocket that is decent.The fabric is stretchy, breathable, quiet, very light, and very comfortable.These are not see through and have good coverage if the inseam is long enough for you. I really like these as running shorts. Perfect for a hot summer. Quality shorts with good stitching etc.The waistband is pretty flattering. These fit like running shorts, meaning that they have a little more poof/stretch in the sides to allow for a long running stride as opposed to a more fitted thigh. They are still comfortable and flattering but if you are just going for a walk, the straight CRZ Yoga shorts in the breathable fabric with the drawstring and no liner are a bit more flattering.The pocket works for me to hold car keys, wallet, dog bags, etc. A typical sized phone would fit, but not a huge one. I love that the pocket has zippers so I don't have to worry about things falling out.I bought both a Large and Medium. Amazon had recommended getting the large. At 5' 10" and 150 lbs, even the medium felt a little big, but I kept them because they were comfortable and flattering for running shorts. I didn't bother to try on the large. Can't imagine going any smaller due to the short inseam.
