After following Wyn Republic and Malo Republic on social media since their existence (stalking Beth and Luke in the triathlon world) I finally purchased these shorts! Super soft, perfect stretch, fabulous print. I have worn them to spin class, running and lifting. They really don’t ride up! Great waistband. I will be purchasing more! I’m 5’4” and 144 pounds. Purchased a medium and it was pretty much perfect. If you wanted more compression you could size down.
