I like the shorts for hot yoga and pilates. I used to wear boardshorts and sometimes had issues with the shorts getting to tight around the crotch. Not with these. One con though was in boat positioning I noticed some irritation from the shorts on my sacrum like a stitching under it. My whole body weight was balancing on that area. Would of gave 5 stars if it wasnt for that. But they look great and let me move freely. Was worried that the material would look wet around my groin area but the fabric moister wicks so that didn't happen
