First of all I have to say these are now my favorite shorts, I've bought 3 pairs! While most of you probably buy these for working out, I buy them to sit on the couch and chat in the evenings. I've tried a few other shorts and the damn thread always comes through so I can't tie them if I have to go outside for something, but these shorts have a solid thread that goes through. They fit almost as expected. maybe just by touch, but they'll probably come apart just fine. They feel very soft and dry quickly when I spill an energy drink. 10/10, will be buying 4 more so I can stretch my wash over a few days.
