Size
Size Large is the only size of this colour in the current update.
Fit and size
Take your usual waist size. The waist is elastic with a drawstring on every pair, so the number that matters is the inseam: 3 inch shows the whole thigh, 5 sits mid-thigh, 7 and 9 reach the knee. Between sizes, go down on the 2-in-1 pairs, because the liner is what holds.
The piece in plain words
What this men's piece is
A pair of men's running shorts in Royal Blue with a 5 inch inseam: the hem sits mid-thigh, the everyday running length. The shell is a light polyester knit. Zip pockets on the hips hold a phone, a card and a key without swinging.
The waist is elastic, and the back sits a touch higher than the front so the hem stays put when you bend. The maker calls it UPF 50+, breathable and lightweight, and those are the maker's words.
Wearing it
On a run the shell stays out of the way, and on a gym floor the pockets are where the hand goes. For a long run, wear your own liner. Wash it cold, hang it, and you have it dry by the next morning.

Words that belong to the maker
The maker calls this piece UPF 50+, breathable and lightweight. Those are the maker's words. The sun guide and the trail guide explain what such words mean in use.
What it does not do
There is no liner: a long run wants your own. A zip pocket is not a waterproof pocket, and a quick-dry shell does not keep the rain out.

Questions about this piece
Does the phone fit?
The zip pocket is cut for a phone up to about 6.7 inches. A phone in a case goes in, a phone in a wallet case is tight.
Liner or no liner?
None, so nothing here decides for you. Wear a liner you trust for a long run.
Which size?
Take your usual waist size. The waist is elastic with a drawstring on every pair, so the number that matters is the inseam: 3 inch shows the whole thigh, 5 sits mid-thigh, 7 and 9 reach the knee. Between sizes, go down on the 2-in-1 pairs, because the liner is what holds.
