Ordered a size medium, I love the way they fit.  I run between a 6/8 ladies and don't want this type of clothing to be tight.  The fabric is good quality, I ordered the blue with the white contrast stitching. They are designed to sit a bit low on the waist, for my comfort level, I wish they sat a bit higher at the waist.  I bought them to wear over a bathing suit during water sport activities.
