Based on the pictures and measurements I thought I had a good size picked, but I guess the bulky fabric makes it lay a bit tighter than standard sweatpants/shorts. Recommendation: Try to order a size or 2 up from your usual size for a "relaxed" fit. I usually wear size M sweatpants, but the M shorts were tight so I should've gotten an L or maybe even XL oops. The pockets are nice and deep, but def add bulk.
