CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE: If your body measurements are midway between two sizes, select the smaller size for a tighter fit or the larger size for a looser fit. If your body measurements result in different sizes, we recommend using your chest measurement for tops and your hip measurement for pants.

Finally, Icebreaker pants without the hard, abrasive waistband. These have a soft, knit waistband, more like yoga pants, but not too high rise. Yay! Nice and warm. Haven't used them out yet, but if they're as good as the IB shirts, this is a score.
Material is soft and not scratchy; I wear these under other hiking pants or just around the house alone (they are thick enough that they aren't see-through!). I sized up to a medium, so they are not super tight like traditional leggings, which I prefer, and the length is good for my 5'5 frame. The rise is high just below the belly button. Quality seems top notch, and they should last for many seasons to come.
