I loved the look of these and was excited to buy them for a 3 week trip where I knew it would be really hot and a lot of walking. I was nervous about the fabric ripping between my thighs like so many lost pants and shorts before them. I walked something crazy like 230km in 3 weeks and my thighs have touched since I was 7 years old, and STILL they haven’t ripped between the legs. I’m shocked, amazed and in love with these. They’re so stylish soft and comfy. I can’t wait for the warmer weather to come back and wear them again. I find the waist a tad tight (though I just heard they increased the size which like, amazing!!) and the slit is a bit high when I sit down, but I still feel fine wearing these to my office, I’m just aware of where the fabric is.
