Love love love these shorts. Fit as expected. I am 5'6'' 170lbs although I have quite a bit of muscle especially in my legs so I look closer to 140-150lbs (per stranger comments). I bought the size large and the shorts fit very comfortably. They can ride up during the course of the day but I've got the thighs that touch making this an issue I deal with regardless so it is not the shorts fault.
They are comfortable and stretchy but keep their form when wearing and washing. I don't dry them because I don;t dry 80% of my clothing but I don't see them losing their appeal if you dry them, especially if on low heat.  I will definitely be getting another pair in a different color.
No qualms about this purchase, was as expected, in fact better because the shorts are made of great quality materials. They are think and well made.
