Impressed!
I'm really impressed by how well these are made. They have a nice thick and comfortable waist band and they are very stretchy. They have a lot of pockets and a utility loop on the side i dont think thr picture shows, its kind of awkward but just takes some getting used to. I'm between a 16 and 18 depending on the brand, I went with an 18 because I didn't want them to be tight and I'm glad I did. They're very stretchy so they'll loosen up but I rather my shorts be loose. If I wanted tight fitted shorts I would probably have gone down a size.
