These seem like great shorts, comfortable and light. But they run really small. I normally am between two sizes and I went with the smaller one. I almost can't get the shorts over my hips, I have to stand with my legs close together just to pull it up. Once on it still fits around my waist. I don't even have large hips for my waist size. If you're in between sizes definitely size up and worst case you have to use the strap to tighten it down more on your waist. When I go with this size in jeans, sometimes the waist is a little tight, but this is the first time I've ever struggled getting pants this size over my hips.

Shorts are super comfortable off the bike, but if you have slightly larger legs for your waist size, these may be a bit tight. The lack of front pockets is a bummer, but the rear pocket is well positioned!

Spez saved a few $$ making it. So, just hold it until you get back to the parking lot....or DYI just poke a hole.
