I thought these would be a more durable material, since on the Pearl Izumi website they are recommended for mountain biking. Instead, they are a light, thin material that gets static-y. I have 35.5" hips and these sat low on my waist and had a lot of material to spare in the thighs, even in the XS. They taper a bit at the knees, which gives them a baggy look.The plus is that they have the removable chamois pad. I'm going to keep them for the removable padded shorts. They also have really large, zippered side pockets, which I really appreciate for biking. Maybe when the weather is warmer, I will have more use for the knickers.I am 5'5", about 145 lbs and carry weight in lower tummy area. The waist was big, the legs much wider than I expected. However, there is adjustable elastic in the waistband so I was able to cinch the waist in. Good fit through tummy and hips. Nice fabric.These pockets are huge, they can fit my phone and keys in the same pocket if I wanted! The zippers are sturdy and smooth. I took the internal shorts removed as I was just desperate for capris with zippered pockets. The waist adjustment is very helpful as it's like a drawstring without hanging strings. The fabric is light and stretchy, very comfortable. The pants are not form fitting as the image may suggest.I ordered a Medium. I'm 5'6" 120#. Thought the size small liner might be too tight so went with the medium, they seem like a large, they are big even around the calves, and I have larger legs. Maybe order a size down if you want these??The fabric is really rice, stretchy which I didn't expect. Too bad they don't fit.Just an FYI these will make you look pretty butchLove these, well made, lightweight, quick dryingLove the fit.
