These are lightweight, unisex shorts. Casual everyday at home or lounging is what I use them for. They are GREAT for my needs. I'm 5.3 so knee length for me. They feel like wearing nothing at all. Featherlight. Some transparency but at home it doesn't matter. Washes and dries fast. Not super easy to snag. My dog did catch his nail and had a couple of small ones. No biggie. Price is right. I can replace when needed.
