I've been using them for over 6 months and I really love them. I would never want to go back to the old ones I used. I like the longer length on the hips - prevents chafing on the thighs. They cool and dry quickly and don't wear out yet. . They go almost to the navel. If they reduced the waist height by an inch they would be perfect. In the meantime, I can bypass the high waist by lowering the belt once. Great product and I will definitely buy it again.
