Updated: 1 year later! These shorts are a little small now, but they still hold up! He mostly uses them as "pajama shorts" and I'm going to buy a size bigger for this summer. This is victory! They are smooth to the touch (some polyester materials stick to my fingers like velcro) and fit well. The adjustable belt is helpful as my son has a small waist. They are lightweight and hang below my leggy boy's knee, but loose enough not to bother him. The backpack idea is great because it's so easy to buy, I usually buy a lot of the same stuff.
