Maybe I messed up when looking at the size chart, but I normally wear a 2X in just about everything.  So I ordered a 2X, not realizing that this products 2X fits sizes 26-28.  I was swimming in them, plus for bike shorts, I like them snug to help keep everything in place.  I do like that they seem long in the leg length (inseam) because I like my bike shorts to cover most of my thighs, almost to my knee.  I am 5 feet tall and I like my shorts long.  So I'm happy with that.  I will be sending these back and reordering a 1X (22-24).  Make sure you check the size chart and order accordingly.
