I debated between giving these 4 or 5 stars. They are the lightest-wearing bottoms I've ever had; lighter than linen, but without the wrinkles. I love, love, love being able to wear pants on hotter days and still feel comfortable! The material in the inner thigh area is standing up to chub rub, and the shins and top thigh to claws from jumping dogs - no tearing. There are several pockets, and the hip pockets are deep enough for a small book, which is a nice change from most women's clothing. Oh, and despite my having serious thunder thighs, these pants aren't too tight in the thigh. One thing: I wish the waist didn't stretch out so much with wear. The inner drawstring is really nice in that it allows me to set a no-stretch limit for the waist, but then I have those folds from gathering that kind of outline my lower abdomen, which is a bit awkward. Overall, I'll definitely buy again, but if the waist-stretch issue didn't occur, I'd seriously be considering replacing all my other pants with these!
