I ordered these to wear under shorts, while biking, in cooler temperatures. The fit is a just a little smaller than I was expecting, but they do, after all, stretch, so not a big deal. The one thing I am sort of on the fence about, which prevented me from giving them 5 stars, is they are really shiny/sparkly. I guess I just prefer more of a matte color. The most important thing about these tights, however, is they are made in the USA.
