I was a little nervous/skeptical of a nylon/spandex short, but after wearing these for almost an entire weekend, I'm sold. The fabric is much more flexible and forgiving than I expected. The fit is great for my body type (athletic) and I find they fit true to size (I'm 5'6". 135 and usually wear an 8)-the 8's fit perfectly, if not a tiny bit loose, which is fine, I like my shorts to sit more on my hips. I haven't measured the inseam but I'm going to guess it's around 5" or 6", great length for bumming around or doing yardwork.
