The fabric on these capris are thin and breathable but don't let that fool you. These capris are very durable and I don't have to worry about them being see through. I stand about 5'4\" and these hit about mid calf on me. I have been able to bend, squat, sit and lay down in these capris and they are so comfortable. I wore these to the beach when it was about 60 degrees and they kept my legs warm. I wore these when it was 102 and they were surprisingly breathable.
