Roomy but the waist size seems spot on.  Drawstring works great and the fly is easily accessed but not just hanging open like other shorts of this type.  Fabric is awesome and keeps you cool under a blanket but doesn't feel cold when walking around.  Very soft.  They look sheer when you hold them up to the light but are not sheer when you wear them.  They just look opaque.  They are long.  Just below my knees at 5'11, but not in a bad way.  I really like them and the price is awesome.
