    Does anyone own these? I'm really thinking about getting a pair, wondering if my size 14-16 rear end will the large?

    i have the Ibex knickers, and they run a little big. My mediums are a little loose and I normally wear medium.

    I have it on very good authority that the fit of the women's Ibex shorts is less than great. I also have it on good authority that the fit has been reworked for release in Fall 2007 and that it should be much improved. Soooo, I would recommend waiting until the Fall 2007 version is released, which is typically August or so.

    BTW, *my* size 14/16 butt fits quite nicely in the size large El Fito Knickers, so I'd expect to wear a large in the shorts as well.

    Hope that helps.

    +1 on the El Fito knickers running a bit loose. My no-kidding-size-16 butt fits into the Large very comfortably.

    my size 12 butt fits in the medium El Fitos just beautifully. I haven't worn a medium ANYTHING on my butt in a zillion years, so yes, the Ibex cycling bottoms do run large. (and they are SOOOOO comfortable!)

    Ditto on the Ibex fit issues.

    I'm usually a medium. I had to give up on the medium Ibex knickers I have- they moved around too much and chafe.
