The shorts themselves are nice, very comfy and seem to be decent quality. I ordered a size XL and upon getting them, washing and wearing them for the very first time, the drawstring (which seems to be the ideal length for about a size medium) pulled into the hole on the waistband even though I ALWAYS tie knots on the end to prevent this. The string is simply too short! Luckily I only plan to wear them around the house. Other than that they seem to be a very nice choice.
