I have tried many training shorts in this style and these fit best. They are lightweight yet durable. I'm 5'5" and the inseam of this 7" hits me about 4" above the knee which is perfect. Fit but not too tight around the leg. Plenty of pockets for all the stuff I take to the gym Large enough to hold your phone, wallet, etc. You can definitely wear them outside of the gym and not feel like you're walking around in skimpy workout clothes.
