The first pair I ordered, which arrived late and was my regular size, was too small. I returned the shorts and Amazon sent the next size up, which was huge. The waist was too big but workable; the real problem was the length --almost past my knees and extra baggy. The material is also very hot -- believe it or not, kinda like plastic pants that don't breathe. Oh well, Amazon took care of return and I'm keeping the second pair because I was away on vacation when they arrived and it has been a while since purchase. Hey, they looked good online.
