I had to change my size and go one size up to get the 'rise' to my waist but they are so comfortable... and the one size up with perfect. I do wish it was a half inch or so longer but then I'm tall so it'd be the perfect length for someone of average height. I also like the fact that I can adjust the waist size so they don't slip down when you're exercising!!!

Great training pants. Moved with you keeps warm on cold night of training
