I bought 2 pairs of these shorts, one black and one white. The fit is perfect, I'm about 5ft 9in, 165in, waist 30in and the shorts fit perfectly. The material is ridiculously thin. White shorts get a star, I can't go to the gym to let people know what color underwear I'm wearing. Returned immediately. The black ones are better but still fairly transparent which makes me more shy than I need to be. Adidas has the best lightweight shorts that are mostly non see-through, get them. A big plus is that they were very cheap, I would be very upset if I paid full price for this item. They will most likely just be the shorts I wear over my compression shorts for running on cool days.
