Fit is appropriate according to sizing chart. Leggings are difficult and always manage to creep down and have to be yanked back up all day. But these to not! They stay up and in place all day. The waist band area is stiff for carry but not too rigid. Still comfortable to sit down. Actually holds a fully loaded 9mm against your waist. Personally I found it difficult to holster for kidney carry. Could just be me. But appendix carry is nice and easy. Would recommend these leggings.
