“I was between sizes on the chart, my waist giving a larger size than my hips. I went with the size my hips gave me since I was more concerned with them being baggy than the waist being tight. The shorts were only slightly tight in the waist, nothing that bothered me at all when biking or hiking and they fit great through the hips. The leg holes did cut in a bit, but I have a feeling they will stretch out a bit as I wear the bike shorts more.
The material is nice and thick and does not turn sheer even in areas where it is put under a bit of strain. The side pockets fit my phone easily and the zip pocket on the back waistband is convenient for keys and any cards or cash you need on you.”
