These shorts really fit my husband well. He's a 3x top (big belly) but his bottom half is slimmer. I ordered the 2x Shorts and they were perfect (he wears the waist of the shorts just below his belly / just above the pelvic area). They looked like they were going to be see through which concerned me. And others have said they are see through in the comments.  But somehow the mesh holes are fine on my husband and he's happy with them. Good product. Would recommend. My husband is 6'4 300 lbs.
