A little on the short side

I usually wear a men's medium waist for athletic shorts (Umbro, Adidas, Nike) and they usually fall just above my knee lengthwise. Just to be safe I ordered a large. The shorts barely made it past the midpoint of my thigh and my legs aren't overly long. The waist fits well but if you're looking for a pair of workout shorts, I'd skip these unless you like to show a lot of leg.
