Thanks for the reviews Lisa!

I'm also puzzled about the sizing. Remember that bike shorts should be as small as possible, the smallest you can twist yourself into. Otherwise they might move around and the chamois won't be playing its role as it should. I know it can feel weird. But if the only problem with the M and L was the leg-gripper/sausage effect, but the other parts felt fine... I'd be wary of sending you out with a pair of XL!!
