Size up
"The style and durability of these shorts are top tier. The reason for the loss of star is because the fit of them does not align with what a typical women's small/US 10 is. For a visual, I am 5'6, 150lbs and about 28% bf, so painfully average. I typically wear a 4-6 in bottoms. In every other brand of rugby shorts I own (paladin, kooga, d4t, olympus, gilbert, etc. ), a small fits me perfectly well. These, however, fit more like an XS. The reason for this, I have discovered, is because the relaxed 1/2 waist is 14'' with an elastic bandwidth of only 4'', and the leg openings are about an inch (or more) less than most other common brands. With that, trust me when I tell you to size up at least one size, possibly two depending on how you prefer your shorts to fit. Hope this helps!"
