And if you are a big outlet shopper, you know everything could be off from inconsistent sizes, to colors, to bad stitching etc. So I just didn't know which way to go.

older pair: They are compression and they are tight - but once I get them on and start pedaling they are super comfy.

new ones: In a size up, they just feel like regular lycra shorts - they are still great but I think I should have gone with the mediums.

when they go on sale, I may just snag another pair......don't tell DH
Now I want to try the Med. Mine fit like regular bike shorts. At first they were super tight to put on; now they go right on. But, I am at a low point for weight, as usual in August, so it may just be that.
