I usually wear a 28–29 in Levi’s jeans, a size 4 in Gap, and a 6–8 in Prana, depending on the cut. My current measurements are a natural waist of 28.5 inches and hips around 39.4 inches. I’m 5’7” and 145lb athlete.

I wanna like these so bad. Such good construction (mostly) and A+ features! But I got a size 6, which—according to the size guide—should have worked. I was right between a 4 and a 6, so I went with the 6. So glad I didn’t get the 4. I can get them on and they look great if I don’t move, but honestly… I probably should’ve gone with an 8. It might have felt a little roomy at first, but for shorts you actually want to ride bikes in, being slightly too small is way worse than being slightly too big. The waistband just needs a little more stretch. I’m hoping I can wear them in and maybe as I naturally lose some lbs as summer fun continues they’ll be more comfortable.
