These are very well made, comfortable shorts with soft fabric.  Bilateral pockets are excellent with enough room for a pair of sunglasses, a wallet and an Ipod.  For the price, you can't beat it but having said that, they run quite big.  I'm a size 2 and "small" practically are falling off my hips.  They're doable with the drawstrings but I would not recommend for any female < size 4.
