Sporting apparel really is stupidly sized. Yes I have wide hips, but I'm not overweight at all. I have to wear XL biking shorts even though from looking at me you'd think I was just a size medium woman....pretty average sized. In biking tights and capris I usually wear mediums or sometimes large...but never XL.
What is UP with bike shorts??
(and yes the XL are quite snug on me, I do know they are supposed to fit snug).
