Weird fit and tailoring
Feels a little large and isn’t tailored at all. Essentially they cut the fabric big enough in the hips/butt and went straight on down. Not flattering at all. I do like the 3 in length since most hiking shorts run really long on me (I’m 5’1”, 125 lbs, semi athletic build). I ordered a size small and usually wear a small. I didn’t think sizing down would help, because they fit well in the waist. The lack of tailoring in the leg is more the issue. Very durable material good for rock scrambling and hiking, but still soft and comfortable against the skin. I kept them because they were on clearance and made with a good material. Because the legs are so large I knew it wouldn’t be restrictive for any activity.

Run big
Yes , I recommend this product
I'm 5'1 with a very short torso (ie short-waisted) and an athletic build. I like that these are a true mid-rise and don't overwhelm my frame and/or come up to my ribcage. They fit my waist and butt though I wish the leg openings were a smidge tighter or the legs were a half inch longer for better coverage. I'm usually a size xs/small, 2-4, and these fit in an xs. If you're between sizes, definitely size down. The pockets are excellent and the material is sturdy.

Great material that feels sturdy and durable but unfortunately won't be able to try it because it ran very large. I'm 5'1, 135, and usually fall into the 8-12/large size range, but this large definitely felt more like an XL and barely even stayed up. The color was also off - ordered Darklands shade, which looks cream/beige online, but is very tan in person.
