The very first thing I noticed was the material. It was not the usual run of the mill material I am used to (the thin spandex, polyester, dryfit). It felt like durable material that I don't have to second guess if it was see-through or feel like I had to wear a protection layer to keep modest. I also like how comfortable they were. I didn't have to keep adjusting them due to rolling anywhere. Easily my favorite pair of work out shorts!!
