I am 175 lb/5'6 with wide hips. Most male style shorts tend to fit too tight in the thigh region or are too tight on the waist, on a curvy female body. These are excellent and do not have that problem. Plenty of open leg room, not too much room in the crotch region (when the male body needs extra space downstairs), and I don't have to hitch them up past my waist to avoid the top of the inseam. I have full movement and no constriction, the fit was as expected. The pockets on the side are kind of shallow and would fit an iPhone when on its side, but they are too small/not deep enough for my Android phone. The back pocket is velcro closure and it is deep enough for my phone (and also where I tend to put it).
