The high waist is pretty comfortable. Makes my butt look good. There's a middle back pocket, which is cool, but I never use it. The front pockets are real, but they don't lay quite how I'd like. For the price it's fine. They're REAL POCKETS, after all. Also, they haven't seemed to change sizes after washing quite a few times.The crotch seam is a little. rough. So you probably won't wanna go without panties.Good pants, though. Pretty fair price for what you get, I think.See full review
