These shorts are very comfortable and flowy, and the 2 zipper pockets are a great place to keep your phone or other items. There is also another zipper pocket on the back for your credit cards,etc. The fabric is a little thin but it feels great on the skin, and the shorts are also water and sweat repellant. The waistband is somewhat compressive but doesn’t feel tight and looks great. The shorts aren’t see-through at all, and they do have a built-in underwear in case they fly up while running.One thing that was confusing was the sizing of the shorts. The information on the size in one of the item photos is conflicting & very confusing (photo 1). It shows the model’s waist is 29.5”, hips 44.5” & she is wearing a size Small. The size chart at the bottom of the same photo shows for size Small, the waist is 25.1”. That is a difference of more than 4”! My waist & hip are smaller than the model and I usually wear a size 4, so ordered a size Small. I was so glad that these shorts fit perfectly! I love these super comfortable shorts; they are great and I highly recommend them!
