Love the fit!
"I wanted some "bike shorts" for outdoors use, that aren't extremely high rise, like most. These are a winner. They sit lower than most, resting about halfway between the hips and and the natural waist. I purchased a size Large, which should technically be tight on my waist, but I agree with others that they fit slightly large, which was perfect for me. An XL would have been way too big. These fit secure, but not too tight, offering plenty of room throughout. And while they aren't painted-on-tight, they don't fall down or ride up. I would say the fit is perfect. If you like a slightly looser fit in bike shorts, I would say these are perfect. The side pockets are the perfect size for a smartphone, with the perfect amount of tension to keep the phone secure, but accessible. I definitely recommend these, and look forward to. irr colors, and longer lengths."
