Do these shorts run true to size?

No. The listed sizes follow Asian sizing, which runs one to two sizes smaller than US and European sizes. If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one.

What are the shorts made of?

They are polyester with moderate stretch and a thin fabric weight. There is no cotton or spandex listed, so expect a smooth, quick-drying feel rather than a soft cotton hand.

Do they have pockets?

No pockets are listed. The design is a plain elastic-waist short with a drawstring, so plan to carry a phone or keys elsewhere during workouts.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash cold and hang or line dry to protect the thin polyester and the elastic waistband. Avoid high heat, which can shrink the elastic over time.

Are they good for running and the gym?

Yes for light training, walking and warm-weather workouts, since the loose cut and thin fabric move well. They lack a liner or compression fit, so they suit casual exercise more than serious distance running.
