These shorts have an attractive look and are super lightweight.  They are much more light weight than I expected them to be. Because tthey are a bit long for normal sportswear, I think most people would not be wearing these to a fitness center, but even if you did, they would be OK.  Most people are probably going to be wearing the shorts to the beach or just as casual shorts.  Because they are so light weight, they dry out very quickly when wet.
