These shorts are great and difficult to findBelieve the reviews that say the style and fit have changed!!! I own a few of these shorts in different colors that are a few years old and getting worn. So I decided to order a new pair. As my other pairs, I ordered an XL. It fits like an L (I have some L sizes that were gifted to me that I don't wear for running but around the house as they fit tight). If I could get this in a size larger, perhaps they would work. The waist has been lowered and I don't like where they sit on my hips; the back is right in the small of my back where I can have problems sometimes so running was not comfortable with these shorts. The length did not seem as long and, indeed, I matched them up to my older pairs and these were shorter (they did match up with the L size though). The leg openings are not as wide either (checked on that too). I will not buy these shorts again. Such a pity, these were the only shorts with side pockets I found that I liked so now its back to scouring the internet (can't find any in stores!) for another brand that hopefully will work better.These are comfortable and stay put pretty well when I run. The waist band cuts into my somewhat padded hips and is not terribly flattering, but the shorts stay up even with keys, etc in the pockets when I run. I like the functionality if not the look. They fit well over my rear and are decent in public. They are what I needed. And they have POCKETS!! Essential!I have a pair of these exact shorts that I bought about 2 years ago. The p.n. on the tag inside is 66200. I compared all the seams and these new ones come up short in all respects. The most significant disparity is from the crotch seam up to the back waistband - about 3/4 inch. This is a size medium. Maybe it is just a fluke?? Just not happy with the changes so returned.great shorts; light as air when doing sorts and it still looks nice enough to go out to dinner! great material, really breathes and dries off immediately! Inner liner works really well. wonderful colors, but shop them often bc the prices have tripled on day; back down to $ 14-15 ! great deal.HAS DEEP SIDE POCKETs!please keep them as is!they seemed a bit bigger than the ones Ihave ordered beforeIt's a well made nice running shorts with pockets that can holds balls when I play tennis and has a little inner pockets for keys and things.It's not very feminine looking shorts though. Looks more like a mens' shorts.These are my favorite workout shorts. They're baggy enough you can move in them, fit well enough that I look like a woman but not so tight that I look weird. They're the perfect shorts for any athletic activity.
