"I have wanted these in 5. 5 in since they made them about a year ago, while the 5. 5 hasn't been reintroduced I went for the 4 in which are great too, you just like what you like. Other than that, great shorts as always, the ultimate shorts feel amazing. I do wish the pockets could be free instead of sewn at the outer seem. Makes everything fall out of your pockets."
"Great fit and support. The compression is right and doesn’t ride up. Fit true to size. Great colors. Wish more in the 4 inch but hey when on sale for the price a great buy"
