In addition to my previous review, I would add that my hip is approx. 36", and these shorts have a low rise. The x-small hits me midway between my true waist and my hip.

I am 5'7", and I weigh about 128 lbs. My waist is right around 26". I ordered the XS based on my previous experiences with Icebreaker. Overall, the fit is great. The fabric itself stretches out a bit with wear, and pretty much fits me perfectly; however, in my opinion, the waistband is a tad on the snug side (which seems consistent with Icebreaker size charts). I would order them again, although I might consider going a size up based on the waistband, which I would like to be a bit less constricting.

I bought the royal blue color Tech Top. The color is beautiful. I initially thought my Tech Top was cut a bit on the "shorter" side, compared to my other Icebreaker tops, but I have been wearing it (for workouts mostly) and don't notice the length as much as I first did. I usually wear them 3-5 times before washing, and I have not noticed an odor, except when I'm sweaty and the fabric is damp - a wet wool smell - which, in my opinion, is not unpleasant or offensive. I have gotten a lot of compliments on the thumb loops, which are especially nice for layering. I haven't had any problem with my Icebreaker items pilling; although, I don't use a dryer, which might make a difference. I would buy it again if the price was right, but there are other Icebreaker tops I would pick over the Tech Top, if I was buying at full price. Still... a great BIG thumb's up!
