I loved that they had a higher waist! Not see thru. Not terribly quick at drying. The draw string feature is a great idea, but I wish there was a way to tie it, rather than just pull and hope for the best. Made this mama feel more confident at going to the pool with 3 active children to chase after. I had purchased a different brand earlier and the seams kept unraveling after wearing the darn things 1 time. Not my favorite. These Coolibar capris seem to be well made and will hopefully last longer than that less expensive pair.
