These are really nice lounging around or workout or whatever shorts. Pockets are fairly deep and the shorts length is not too long(just above my knee and I'm 5'9").I ordered a large(waist size 36)and sometimes with shorts depending on the type of material you'll get some stretch in the waist which can be excessive but these run very close to the limits so if you're closer to an extra-large I think I would opt for the larger size. I purchased 5 different colors and they all have a great deep color to them and they are not to shiny just a good looking product. They are very comfortable and the price was right so I would recommend these highly.
