I originally ordered a Medium and the fit was off for me. Afraid that I would be stuck with shorts I couldn't wear, I contacted Malo and got amazing customer service. They exchanged the shorts for a size Small, which fit much better. I was so happy to get such amazing customer service from Malo. This is everything in my eyes. Make your customers happy! I'm thrilled to have found a great company and very happy with these shorts in a size Small. Be sure to check the size chart. If you're more muscular and like a more compressive fit, size down.
