I got these for a backpacking trip and am very happy with them. They are well made, comfy, and thin (this is GOOD so that my skin stays cool and the wool does it's job of preventing odors and not absorbing sweat so I don't feel sticky and gross). If I squat you can see a little bit of an outline of underwear unless it's skin colored or a thong.I bought both a medium and a large due to reviews saying to size up on their leggings. I'm 5' 2" 137, pear shaped, and always a medium in leggings. Hip 38" waist 28". The mediums fit perfectly and the large had a waist band that stuck out in the back and the bottom of the shorts flapped around when I walked. Not comfy. I recommend you get your normal size. I'll be returning the large.I like these shirts and they fit and breath well. The fabric is a little too coarse for my liking or use - using as a liner short for mountain biking. This would be 5 stars from me if the material was softer.I purchased these to wear under my wool dresses and loved them. They fit well, prevented chub rub, and were excellent for all the reasons wool is excellent; I wasn’t too hot wearing them, they didn’t take on smell easily and they didn’t cause any static cling from my dresses. I was very careful in washing them only when they really needed it, washed by hand and laid flat to dry. About 3 months in, I have a large 2” diameter hole in the thigh area that isn’t repairable. From the appearance of the fabric, I expect more holes within a few weeks. I don’t think I can justify spending $50 on a pair of shorts that I might have to replace several times a year.These are great as a base layer when it's chilly but not cold enough for full-length pants. They're also opaque when on, so they could be worn alone. Very comfortable, stretchy enough to fit a variety of booty types and don't roll up on the legs or down on the waistband.These really make a difference when worn under pants while walking the dogs in cool weather. It makes it much more cozy in winter. I got another pair right away. Wish they would come in different colors.These are fantastic both for exercise and as a "chub rub" layer under skirts. They keep all the odor resistance of merino while fitting snugly without getting baggy. If they had side pockets they'd be literally perfect!I'm a very active person and a big fan of merino wool for its performance for outdoor activities. Merino wool has great insulating and wicking properties and unlike synthetics, it doesn't hang onto smells.I've tried a few items from the Woolly brand and have been really happy with all of them. I'm happy to say that these bike shorts live up to what I've come to expect from Woolly.For reference, I am 5'5" tall 110lbs with a straight body type and short torso with long limbs. I am typically a size 0 or XS. I've ordered everything from Woolly in a size XS, including these bike shorts, and have found that all of their items fit true-to-size.These bike shorts look great and are very comfortable to wear. They have a generous weight and drape nicely on the body. These have a nice high rise and the waistband sits very comfortably, it stays put without rolling down. These shorts have nice features like a gusseted crotch and detailed seaming. These are very functional and I've been wearing them to the gym, yoga studio, and on the trail.I'm really happy with these bike shorts from Woolly, I highly recommend them and the Woolly brand in general.I was apprehensive about merino wool bike shorts but I'll say these are comfortable and look nice on. They are fine for summer. The fabric breathes well and wicks sweat. They are a nice length. Good Fitting and not too tight. I'm very happy with these bike shorts. They don't chafe.
