I love a good, solid short and these are just that! The fabric is so soft but certainly feels durable. They are a closer fit than I thought the might be. I was a little disappointed though that the cinching sides will not work for me as one of the buckles keeping it in place was incorrectly put in upside down. I live in Canada and sending them back isnt an option.
I’m an athletic build with decent quads/booty, 5’3 and 130lbs and I went with a medium.
