Pooh. Why haven't I read the reviews? It appears to be quality pants with good padding (although these are probably not a substitute for the shorts underneath). We bought girls in XL and they are very narrow. My daughter wears large pieces from the other two brands but she's on the verge of outgrowing them so we went with 'larger'. I was afraid they might be too big! She's almost 13 years old and is in the 35th percentile of weight and normal height for her age, so she's quite skinny. Also, they look more like panties (or maybe part of the sizing issue). I think they are 2 sizes too small. The two stars reflect the quality, but the size is too odd so it's "below average" in my opinion.
