Based on reviews I ordered these in small. NOT a smart thing to do!
Comments were that these run large; one reviewer with a 29" waist ordered small and they fit perfectly. As a fairly tall, 'slimmish' 130 lb. female, I have a 27" waist, & about 38" hips. I often wear men's medium. So due to comments I ordered the small, but they are TINY!
Because of the price vs sipping costs back, I will not be returning them. I'll keep them for the fleece and make something out of them. One good thing is that they do appear to have plenty of length, something I always have trouble with.
The quality seems good and I only ordered small based on other reviews, but I'm still just giving these four stars. The reason is that these are way past small, they are extremely tiny. When I hold them up they look like pants for a really tall 10 year old boy. I will probably order the medium and hope for the best.
