Trying this review for the second time since it wasn’t posted the first. I am 5’9” and can wear a size 6 in their tights / Roga shorts, but I have some “fluff” on my athletic upper thighs (ie no thigh gap here) and these looked terrible. The length and fabric consistency managed to perfectly encapsulate every bit of upper inner thigh flab in a bulging pouch of fabric between the crotch and the end of each leg of the shorts. Speaking of the crotch area, it also created a pretty awful cameltoe, probably because the fabric is thin and soft (otherwise a plus) and thus could stand to be adjusted somehow there. I found the waistband and the fabric comfortable but way too many negatives in the balance and they got packed back up immediately.

These did not work at all for me. I ordered a 6 which I can comfortably wear in the rogas and long tights. The fabric was soft and waistband felt good but that’s all the positives for me. I’m 5’9” with athletic thighs that have a layer of “fluff” (ie no thigh gap here). These hit me at the upper mid thigh in an exact spot to encapsulate all my inner thigh flab into an unflattering pouch between the crotch and the end of the legs. Speaking of the crotch, the camel toe was strong on these. Immediately bagged these up for return.

They ride up

Disappointed in these. Nice fabric, but I ordered my usual size and they immediately ride up. On a longer run, I am repeatedly tugging the legs down which is annoying.
