I really do wonder how some companies determine their sizes, though. I'm generally kinda medium sized, but I just squeeze into medium Pearls, and it's not a boost to my ego to think I need to wear LARGE shorts. Now if I generally wore a large, and had to wear EXTRA-LARGE Pearl Izumi's, I would be quite unhappy.

Terry shorts, otoh, seem to run a tad large, or maybe the fabric is just a little stretchy.

Anyway, the sizing charts are a big help.

And back to how should the shorts fit -- you generally don't need the $100 muscle supporting whatevers for shorter rides. I really used to like the $30 REI shorts just as much as the expensive PI's.

Now on to the really important issue with shorts, the @!&^%# chamois!
