I had planned on using the shorts for sublimation or vinyl application. Turns out my daughter absolutely loved them.. and kept them! These can definitely be unisex short. She wore them right away. And continues to choose them first after every washing, out of all her other shorts! There are good quality material. I don't know if I would say lightweight.. but definitely sturdy and cozy! I would certainly buy them again.
These are super comfy and I love they have pockets, BUT they run big. I got a large and could definitely go down to a medium. I have to roll down the waistband and roll up the ankle cuff
