I like these style pants because they make me look thinner!  The material is really light weight, probably drys quickly.  The only thing I don't like is the Merican flag on the pocket, as I travel to countries that aren't so Merica friendly!  I haven't taken them to the beach yet.  Ill update at a later time this summer, I worry they will be sticky around the legs because the material is so light...  well see.
