I ordered a medium originally, and the liner fit perfectly but the shorts were ridiculously baggy. Wouldn't even stay up, despite the "integrated belt" - way too big. I ordered the small and the shorts fit perfectly, but the liner was insanely tight and uncomfortable - I wish I could have kept the liner from the medium and the shorts from the small. I returned them both.

I was pretty excited about these as I’ve struggled to find MTB shorts that fit well. When I tried them on though I found the shorts (without the chamois liner) fit perfectly, but the chamois liner I can’t even get halfway up my thighs. There is a very inflexible band in the waistline that has zero stretch. Disappointed to have to return them.

I've been using these shorts for about a month, finally bought knee pads and they are slightly too short for knee pads. If you're standing up straight, sure they cover the knee pad but once riding these shorts will ride up a bit. For reference, I'm pretty slender usually between 120-125 and 5'7''. I haven't used the liner yet because I've got some nice chammies but tried them on and they fit quite tight - had trouble getting them over my butt. There is a pocket for cell phone on left leg and fits my iPhone xs with a thin case but it might be a squeeze if you have a larger case on your phone.

Overall though, they LOOK great they just need to be about 1-2 inches longer and that pocket needs to be a little larger.

I ordered a size larger (L) than what I normally wear (M) due to the other review reporting that this item runs large. That was not the case with me at all. Luckily backcountry has a great return policy and I was able to return my item for a size M.

They run small, consider going with one size larger. I ended up returning them before using them because I did not like the belt buckle, prefer something easier. Otherwise they might be great shorts.
