I ordered my LGs from TE after reading all the reviews. I pretty much wear a small everything. I got the Mediums and they seemed tight at first. I had never worn compression clothing before so was unfamiliar with how snugly they fit. I got used to them right away and feel way more supported in them. The Smalls
would have been way too small.
They are not the heaviest weight shorts out there, which should be good for your warm weather. I like not having an elastic band at the bottom. Way more comfortable. Also the snugness helps keep my knee warmers from sliding down.
I also found the waistband to been comfortable.
