As soon as the pants arrived, I tried them on. They still smell slightly, but I have another pair of pants underneath. ???? I have to wash them by hand first. They should only be washed by hand. The fabric is very thin, so I can`t say (yet) what it`s like outside in daylight. Unfortunately, I`ve already discovered a flaw in the front, so they`ll probably be a pair of home pants. When sitting and lying down, they ride up the leg slightly. Apart from that, the price is quite ok. I still really like them and won`t be sending them back because of the fault. Plus points are the huge pockets (which is why I opted for them) and the fact that you don`t get so sticky in summer.
