Fabric is not stretchy, but the waistband has some stretchy material added to is. Fabric is like a canvas of sorts......I love these 5.11 shorts. You won't be dispppointed

No the fabric is not very stretchy. It is very sturdy yet comfortable. I wear them during summer park events as police duty shorts. The waist band is stretchy. They are the best shorts for that type of work.

Like regular fabric - more like parachute material - light and smooth. These are my fav shorts for action shooting, I now own several pair. I have a pair I ripped months ago and after months of washing the rip did not fray

The material is a nearly perfect and very lightweight (6.14 ounce fabric weight) 65/35 polyester/cotton, breathable durable ripstop blend that feels very comfortable against your skin. However, the only stretch is in the action waist band but nothing in the actual fabric.These shorts are also nearly wrinkle free after washing and dry fairly quickly when wet. They are great for wear in the subtropical climate that I work and live in. If you are looking for something heavier say a canvas material for cooler climates that do make a 8.5 oz. canvas cargo short that may be better that environment. Hope this helps!

Brenden, No its not stretchy at all, its ripstop fabric which is like a softer Carhartt material.

It is not stretchy, but you can make it as big or small you want with the Velcro. (Within the means of the size)

No this belt is not stretchy, it is similar to the original belt. Good Luck

It feels like a cotton t-shirt material but kind of stretchy. It could be all cotton or blended with poly to make the stretch. It's very soft. I have very sensitive skin and it hasn't irritated me at all.

It is a fabric but kinda could be easily washed, for the price I love mine and I do home daycare.

It felt like cotton. But it is hard to tell for sure. But the fabric was sturdy.

Janet, The fabric is decent qualify. It's not plastic, but it's not soft, good qualify fabric, either. I am petite myself and thought the product fit me well. No issues as far as dimensions. Although, I have to say, it is a bit of a pain to put on and take off. I am a new mom and would have preferred something that was not so time consuming. I don't use it as much as I thought I would.

I think you should be okay. The fabric is nice a soft, so it might stretch just a bit.

No, the material is kind of like a light denim. I love it and feel very safe having a grandchild it it - of course, an adult is always near. This product is much more durable than vinyl would be and seems to hold air very well. I recommend it and have not seen anything any better.

Well I would say they are as stretchy as the usual adult cycling shorts, the material is somewhat thick and it is a proper cycling short not of those cheap stretchy soft light shorts.

It is a stretchy synthetic material making it easy to put on and take off, even over other clothing

Hi, just saw this. I am 5.5' so I sat in it and there is at least a foot of material extra at the top. I would say there is a couple of feet extra at the bottom to stretch out in. The material appears to be made out of cotton. It is soft, but it is durable. We use the chair all of the time, and it is in good condition.

It's like a silk satin material.. Pretty stiff material at first but after a wash or two it's nice and soft

Depends - it looks like about the same weave as the dog bed fabric they make, which depending on heat and amount of weight from a dog on it does stretch and contract a little. The shade fabric itself does not seem to have substantial stretch as far as when trying it off. Heat conditions may make it a little more stretchy, but not substantially. I haven't noticed any stretching since putting mine up - I have it tied off at the corners. Hope that helps.

It's like foam type material. It's kind of squishy and not hard plastic. My daughter thinks it's comfortable.

Approximately 14" but the fabric is stretchy so it may stretch a little more.
