Really like the 5 inch length. Soft buttery fabric. Super stretchy. Bright color. My new fave biker shorts.
I had high hopes ....

I had high hopes
Ok. Here's the only good things I like about the shorts: the silicone band around the thighs to prevent them from riding up and the high quality material used for the shorts. Here's what I hate: - not enough compression around the stomach. The waist band constantly rides down on me, even if I'm standing and walking at an average pace (not too fast not too slow). When I bend over, kneel, or sit, the waist band rolls down. - give me MASSIVE camel toe (if you have a bigger than average , do NOT get this brands shorts... iykyk) the inseam going right in the middle of the crotch is not helpful at all - the shorts slightly fall down on me despite the fact that the fabric around my thighs is tight. If I were to go a size smaller to have enough compression around my stomach, it would be too tight around my thighs and my thighs would be pooling out of the shorts and it would be uncomfortable I was planning on using these for my outdoor runs but even using them while lounging around the house is uncomfortable and faulty, I will not be using these for anything. Body specs: - 5'6 3/4 - about 200lbs - usually an XL on top and an XL on bottom (or size 14 jeans) -i ordered a size XL
