Bought these pants for cycling with my daughter, I have 3 of these jogging pants for this purpose but these are my favorites without a doubt. I bought a large, I'm 6ft, waist is about 34 inches, although I usually border on a medium to large size, but they have a drawstring waist and I love how they fit. Also, I don't like wearing tight tights in public or baggy jogging bottoms when cycling; but wanted something in between and this style is perfect! They're not bulky but not too tight either, tapering to the ankles with zips, ideal for cycling when it's cooler outside, or as tights underneath when it's cold. You look great!
