I've worn these when it's sizzling hot, and appreciate the sun protection. They're roomy, but flattering. The zippered pockets are fairly deep and I use the vertical ones for phone and essentials; the leg pocket, not so much. The pants are a little long for me (size XS 5'1), so I just turn them up once for smoother look, although cinching them would work too. Lots of compliments! The light gray color is lovely.See full review
