I bought the large, which were too large so I bought the medium. I am 5'2", 130LB. apple shaped. Seems they design clothes for pear shapes. The medium was better everywhere except length and waist. I thought the waist would be OK, but after sitting in the pants for half an hour I knew I couldn't wear them all day on this adventure or that. The crotch seems to bind about the same in both sizes (a bit uncomfortable but not a deal breaker). I do love the pockets and their depth, placement and angle. The front pockets hold the iPhone Max with no binding when I sit or climb. I am not wild about the elastic at the ankle. When you pull it tight, the excess sticks out for you to step on. These pants are hot but the lining helps. I did not have an opportunity to test them in the rain and didn't want to wear them in the shower knowing I might return them. I am sending the medium back and keeping the large while I continue the search for the perfect rain pants.
