I really like the weight of the fabric and breathability. The length is great for me (I have stubby legs so appreciate the slightly shorter cut). I use these mountain biking and gravel riding and they work great for both. The zippered pocket works great for my cellphone (pixel 8). The standard pockets are really deep and so seem safe for keys, park pass, etc. but my paranoia would love to see another small zippered pocket or even a key lanyard just in case.
