Rated 4 out of 5 by Dulcet Not perfect but the best I've found
It's hard to find comfortable, flattering, and reasonably priced fitness shorts. These fill all of the categories. My only complaint is that while the shorts do have a pocket, it would have been nice to make it large enough to hold a cell phone as well as keys.

I have worn a lot of fitness shorts (mostly for running), and these came up to almost all my criteria for excellence. The material is lightweight, but not flimsy: it has a good substantial feel to it. I like the slightly longer length (5 inches), and the comfortable elastic waist. The only part I did not like was the drawstring waist--I find the drawstrings superfluous and just a nuisance. But that may be peculiar to me.

Rated 2 out of 5 by LilKish Not a good exercise short
I bought this for my morning walk/run. The one pocket was not large enough for my phone and keys. The material was also too clingy and rode up when running. I returned it for another pair of the Comfort Trail shorts, which I love!

Rated 5 out of 5 by nannyx4 Best Shorts Ever!!
These are the best workout shorts I have ever had. They are super comfortable and they have a slimming effect. The pockets in the back are great. I just ordered 2 more pairs. They are also not as short as running shorts, which I like.

These shorts are perfect, right length, comfort, flexibility, soft fabric. Hope they don't make any changes and ruin a good thing.

I've worn the Beans fitness capris and fitness pants consistently for the past few years, but when the summer hits in Maine those are a bit too warm. Hooray for the introduction of the fitness shorts. In the same material as the capris and pants, but as shorts - they are great, not too short, and perfect for working out!

Rated 5 out of 5 by LoCoinMO Great shorts
I have the problem with shorts that are too short and leg openings that are too wide which I would find embarrassing at boot camp. However, these shorts are just right. Snug where I like it without feeling like I am wearing spandex bike shorts. I only gave the waist a slightly too large rating because I can't seem to pull enough string out to feel like it's snug on my waist. However, since the shorts fit so well, I didn't end up needing the string after all.

I bought them to use as a swimsuit cover up and they are working great. The elastic waist is nice and flat. I do wish there was another pocket in the front or a second in the back.
I liked them well enough to buy a second pair, and might try the capi in the future.
