Very lightweight, flattering shorts which are comfortable walking, sitting, etc.  Lots of pocket room to carry essentials when going for a walk or hike.  Agree with reviewer who mentioned there is some variation of fit within a size. I bought three pair of size 4, two of which fit perfectly with the buttons adjusted to the tighter fitting, and one pair which is just a wee bit larger.  I plan to watch for a sale and pick up a couple more.
