I bought these for my son who is 6ft tall with a 28inch waist in a size small. They fit great and are the perfect length. He did not like the shorter length lite weight running short that on his tall frame were too short.! He is on his high school cross country team and has used them for several meets and they practice everyday. I have washed them several times and they wash beautifully. They are great quality and super lite weight for the price. He liked them so much in fact that I purchased another pair.
