Note: the color that arrived is a solid teal, not the multicolor that the model is wearing. It is overall the same color as the 'preloved teal' side stripes that are pictured. This is fine with me, I actually like the solid teal better, but something to be aware of. It could be like Gump's box of chocolates :) The shorts are very comfortable for my weight training workouts and I appreciate the zip pockets. For those so inclined, you could easily run in these, too (I use running shorts with brief liners myself, but you could use these with your own briefs/compression shorts underneath. While I use a large in current adidas running shorts, the medium in these shorts fit me well. If you like them roomier you could probably go up a size. (I wear 33 - 34" pants usually. )
