Keep Pace Space Dye Bike Shorts

The review says "runs slightly large" but I don't think so. I purchased some shorts from this brand in size S and M, both fit fine. I ordered a skirt, the size M fit best. With these shorts? I ordered every single size until I ended up with XL! Comparing these shorts in XL to the skirt in size M, they were the exact same in the waist and legs. Something is WAY off here... but super soft and very excited about them now that I got the right size!

The orange color is most definitely see through.

I have the gray 7inch shorts in a small, but for some reason these in a small are a lot tighter on the waist. Need to size up.

Very soft and comfortable. The waist band is very high waisted. The stitching on the legs did not dig into my thighs. They did ride up a little during my workout but would purchase again.

These are good, soft, slightly on the short side bike shorts. The problem for me is they have no pocket whatsoever. Not even a small key fob pocket. This means i cant wear them on walks or runs or anything outside where i need to have my phone or key. I have not yet decided if i will return yet but for me that may be a no go. I want to be able to reach for a pair of shorts like this for any activity vs having to think hmmmm does this one have a pocket or i can only wear this to yoga or something of that nature. Other than that they feel soft and a medium fit me well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered 4 pieces, 2 sets of spacedye. The smell was harsh before opening. I washed twice, the smell persisted. Then did an overnight soak in baking soda water and washed again. The smell is still present but not as strong. This is not my first order with this company, but first to experience an issue. I likely will not trust beyond yoga to purchase again. There products are too expensive to have this type of issue.
