I've been buying these shorts for years now (I've probably got seven pairs of them at this point), and I can honestly say they're my favorite shorts. I wear them almost every day for running/working out/dancing/biking and just plain hangin' around, and my boyfriend borrows them too.It's hard to find shorts like this anymore -- like the original Umbro ones. I see a few reviews that say the material isn't good, but I think that's just personal preference. I prefer the somewhat structured feel of these to the drape-y, stretchy material most shorts are made out of these days. If you want a pair of shorts that's going to cling to your body, these aren't the ones you want.Anyway, these are the features I like about this product:* Waistband stays in place and can also be folded over.* Very durable -- can be washed, dried, sweated on, biked in, scooted down rocks in, used as a hat in hail situations -- the only reason I've had to keep buying more is because I like the white ones the best, and I eventually spill enough things on them to necessitate buying a new pair for fancy occasions.* The material is somewhat structured-feeling, which makes these great for activities that involve awkward body positions (like squats and crunches and cartwheels and stuff -- the activities where regular shorts tend to ride up and expose you. But not these!)* The length is perfect. They aren't too short or too long.* None of that tapered leg business with these bad boys -- the leg holes are wide enough to support full range of motion.
