I love the feel of these shorts.  They were not too long or short on me.  I'm 5'7" and it fit just fine.  I don't like super long trunks or super short trunks.  The material is nice and light.  When you get out of the pool it does not suction to you too much.  I had just enough pockets for my use, which is really not all that much.  I tend to want to lock up items instead of keeping them in my pocket.  I would recommend these to other people.
