I bought this (and the white color) for paying tennis in the Florida summer sun. They are a polyester fabric but don't feel hot. The style is nice and long (I'm 5'10" and the bottoms drag on the ground a little). They may even be a little long which never happens. I think this length could work for taller people. There's a back zipper at the heel, which is nice because the pants taper to the ankle. And the POCKETS are so nice, deep, and roomy. I can literally fit 3 tennis balls in one pocket (which also never happens for women's pants). The fabric has nice stretch and the waistband is wide but not too tight. It has a string to tighten it if you need it. The white color is a little see through. BUT would absolutely recommend for anyone wanting a sporty summer pant to spare their skin the sun.
