The size is China size. So if you are used to US/Canada size, please choose the larger size. If you wear L, choose XL. I wear XL so hopefully my hips won't get bigger! I like two pockets - one on each leg - big enough for a phone in one and a wallet in the other (or someone's phone or gel pack). A zippered pocket at the back waistband is a godsend for storing cash and credit cards. The padding consists of two layers of foam - regular foam, not gel foam - but thin enough that you don't feel like you're wearing diapers, and is vented in a "methane exit zone" to minimize the foam's biogas degradation. There are no silicone retainers, but the elastic at the hem is thick enough to keep the shorts in place without the saddle slipping. They are good for short trips (less than 10 miles) as they are; For something longer, you need a different layer or a softer bike saddle. I liked the first pair I bought so much that I bought a second and may buy a third. The shorts are a real price tag that represents great value for money. Complete with features I would expect from shorts that cost twice as much.
