True to size. Very lightweight. Great for working out. Longer bike short layer - yay! Super comfortable. Top layer fits snuggly over bike short layer, so they look more like bike shorts. Also, the side pocket in the bike short layer fits my phone fairly well, but I cannot put the top layer over the phone to secure it better, so one side of the top layer has to be lifted up above the phone pocket when your using it (I.e. one leg will be riding up). I wish the back zip pocket was big enough for my phone. I also wish it had a drawstring inside to tighten the waist, because when it gets hot out and items are in the pockets it could ride down a bit. These are high waisted above my belly button, which I love. They aren’t compression, so don’t expect these to hold fat in - it won’t. But I love how modest, lightweight, and comfortable these shorts are - I kept them for walks and runs! I do recommend them overall.
