White is actually bright white!

I usually wear 4" shirts, but these 3" work well. I love the bright vivid white option! (Not off white, no hint of yellow!!!) Shorts wash well but take a bit longer to dry given thick material. I wear an S in Athleta joggers, and I took a M in the shorts. Not as soft as forever fleece but heavier ...in weight. Nice option for summer mornings before it gets too hot. Minor point but larger metal tassels caps on drawstring can get annoying. I may cut off.

Fabric not as expected and a bit too short for me

Expected to be like last year's Retroterry fabric, but it was a bit thicker and "rougher." They felt a bit too short. A miss for me. White was not see through. I ordered 2 sizes since everything seems to run big, but these were true to size. I did not need to size down.

I though these would be too short, but the boxiness of them makes the length fine.

I had become obsessed with some Althea sweatpants this winter and was sad when the weather became too warm for them. Then I found these guys. Soft and comfy for lounging around the house. I bought the smaller of my two Athleta sizes and it worked great.

cute shorts but very heavy

Nice for lounging, but the shots are very heavy. Not warm heavy but weigh a lot. Prefer a lighter weight for summer. Well made. Got on sale or would've returned. True to size.

Comments about Heavyweight Terry Mid Rise 3"" Sportie Short

I bought this and the other style in the lilac. Very different. These are more true to size and flattering. Very comfortable. Kept these and returned the other. Great for lounging around the house.
