Loeka

I was afraid to order these because of what others said, but glad I did. Even ordered a 2nd pair. Yes the waist is big, but the belt solves that problem. I wear size 6 and the medium (4-6) was a good fit. They are seconds and I had to repair the belt on the 1st pair and there are some uneven stitches on the 2nd pair, but still a great value. I will use these a lot.

I wear these shorts a lot. They are cute (I have the "orange" ones), super comfortable and light weight. I am 5'8" 140 and the medium fits very well. I often have trouble with the waist being to big on pants, but the velcro closure allows me to adjust how tight I want it. I usually wear them casually, but they would also work great over a bathing suit before/after the beach, rafting, water park, etc. I would recommend them to everyone!

I use these shorts for sun protection. They are just long enough to cover my knees when riding. The small side slit at the bottom gives a lot of room for knee movement. I live in hot, dry southern CA, so don't need the lining. I cut that out and reinforced the inner seams, making these a perfect lightweight short for cycling in my part of the country! And it provides a little more room for lycra shorts underneath. It does have a slightly odd fit in the hips and waist, but I wear tops that cover that. I think I'll order another pair!

I had a difficult time finding the correct size in these shorts. I originally got a medium b/c I wear a 4/6 in "normal" shorts/pants. The medium was too large so I ordered a small. The small fit around the waist but was too tight around the legs and binding around the hips -- of which I have very little. Finally decided to keep the medium even though they are very loose.

The sizing on these is a little odd. They are "medium" which is size 4-6; I am a standard 4 but these are huge and have an wide velcro closure in front which is uncomfortable. The lined pants are great, however. They look like baggy skater pants on me but I was afraid to order the small 0-2 size. I wear these to workout. Well made, excellent fabric.

odd panel in back, stretch material in back by pocket sticks out- not great for one's figure but does the trick for the money- warm and lined!

I loved my first pair of Loeka pants that ran a little big, but I am in a hot, hot climate so they work for me. Unfortunately, I bought two more pairs that were way small in the same size but different styles. Both were way, way small whereas the first pair were a little big. Same company? Sizing totally inconsistent. Now I understand why they are reduced so greatly. I am giving both pair of Loekas I bought that are too small to a friend as they are useless to me. Important to know they are made for girls w/ narrow, very narrow hips.

These shorts are tight in the legs and the crouch is not cut correctly. They have a very odd fit. They are really not cut correctly for women, very straight cut. Also way too much velcro. On the plus side the material and workmanship is very nice.

I love these even more than the last pair of Loeka bike shorts I bought in a similar style. These are much better looking so after a ride , I can walk around and still be stylin'. I ride a road bike and these are great as I hate spandex pants. I've never mountain biked but I can imagine these would be great. These shorts are comfortable on and off a bike. Lots of great pockets and totally cute. Highly recommended.

I weigh 110 and usually wear a 2. These shorts are too big. I like them though
