These shorts are now my nighttime shorts for lounging and sleeping. They are very soft and not too heavy. I'm 6ft, 240lbs with a 40" waist and size XXL. I would say they are a bit skinny for me but I really like them. I love the deep front pockets and the back right thigh pocket. The laces are very long. The waist belt is almost 2 inches wide, which is good as it doesn't fold at the waist and disperse pressure. I also like the longer length, just above the knee.
