These are true to size and did not shrink in the dryer! Yay! They are lightweight, breathe well and are not "stiff" at all.  I will definately be ordering a couple more pairs - I, personally, cannot stand short shorts to exercise in or wear out casually, so these are just perfect!  And, due to the type of fabric they are made from, you could even pair with a cute T-shirt or casual top and some sandals to wear to a ball game, zoo outing, etc.
