I have the Running Shorts ordered in M and it fits, even sitting quite loose. So, it does not cut a definitely and is not close to. Otherwise I have a size between 36 and 38. For me it ends like the model in the picture below the knees. Do not chafe and I've now even worn a few times while running. It is really convenient and easy. Rear one finds a small sewn pocket with zipper. In there I grab my keys and an MP3 player. If necessary, some small change. A smartphone does not fit purely. But I want to have this while running even none :) It is machine washable at 40 degrees. The only drawback was the strong smell when unpacking. It smells very unpleasant chemical and by color. After washing himself puts the but.
