stats: 5'5", 33% body fat (mostly in my waist) and 180 lbs. measurements: hips: 43", thigh: 26.5", abdomen: 36", waist: 35". I ordered the size 12. the legs are roomy, the waist (hits right around my pooch area) is snug. there's a felt like liner on the inside waistband, and it's kind of a nice low pile fuzzy strip. feels good on the skin imo. These weigh 239 grams (~8.4 oz).

these capris are VERY flexible. I did leg lifts, sat cross legged, did all kinds of leg extensions and stretches, jump squats, high knees, etc... they might as well been gym capris. Can't speak to it's abrasion resistance as of yet.

THe model has longer legs than I do, so these look better on her... it hits my leg right where the calf begins to widen, so it makes me look a little stumpy, like weird mom capris(the BEST mom pants, btw). The inseam is around 18.5" long for the size 12.

I poured a 16.9 oz bottle of water on the leg in one spot, and it got a smidge damp (just barely, i mean... it was dry like a minute later from my body heat.) I liked this feature so much i turned on the shower. it's magical at first, but then i saturated the pants after about 5 seconds in the shower, and they got wet. not soaking after only 5 seconds, but it did let water through. I wouldn't take these through a waterfall and expect my undies to stay dry. ^_^ they are also not very warm when wet--but that's to be expected since it's not wool. they were mostly dry a half hour later just sitting in a darkish room with the AC on.

these are thin capris, but the Cairn color wasn't see through. they will not hide major bumps and lumps in the butt or thigh area however (gotta do more squats I guess!). But... they already look like mom capris on me, and my legs aren't SO bad that I feel embarrassed wearing these, so what's 1 or 2 lumps?

all in all, great! ESPECIALLY if you have longer legs, and not super obvious cellulite. I'm not returning since I like them so much. Keep in mind though, I'm a 'comfort and utility usually outweigh cuteness in outdoor gear' kind of girl. IF you're built like me (longer legged slender gals disregard this part), and you care about looking svelte and sexy, these are not the capris to go for.
