I was on the hunt for skirts when I ordered this. I love the pic on the truffle color but they only had black in XS. I know that Ex Offcio runs big in general but backcountry had this for a good price so I thought I'd try it. The xs was a little big - the fit was marginal for me but I thought it would work. However the material is thin and the skirt didn't drape well. It seems to cling to my underwear in an unflattering way. If the material draped a little better I would have considered keeping it but as it was I had also ordered the Carve Designs highpoint skirt and that skirt fit and draped so much better that I kept it and sent the Ex Offico skirt back

I'm an avid endurance mtn biker so I'm out for hours on end on the trail. I like to wear long shorts or knickers for crash and sun protection. I'm tiny - 4'10" ~100lbs - so I have a hard time finding items to fit. The XS Spyder Urban shorts fit great - I have room for a padded liner underneath and the Spyder's aren't too tight or too baggy. I have a pair of Shebeest knickers and Harlot knickers and long shorts from Spectrum and Royal - nice products for sure - however all of them have a few "fit" issues for me. The Spyder Urban shorts fit "just right". Plus I've gotten a ton compliments on them! Definitely worth the price.

The material in this skirt has a nice weight, drape and texture. I ordered the xs and it fit well enough - it wasn't super snug but it didn't hang on me like a potato sack either. The waist band and seaming detail add a nice look to skirt. This one is a keeper - I'm looking forward to wearing it with boots and knee-hi socks and oxford shoes.

I got an XS of this shirt from SAC. It's super cute and very retro looking. CONS: It's short in the torso - luckily because I'm small (4'10") the short torso isn't a problem for me but I could see it being a problem for more "normal sized" people. Also, as someone mentioned the zipper isn't very long and it an be a bit annoying to take on and off. I've been wearing it a fair bit for Fall weather mtn biking - so it worth the price I paid for it on SAC but it wouldn't be worth paying full price.

I ordered a size 4 (typically I'm a 2 or xs) and it fit just fine but I wasn't in love with this pant. It was a tad too high waisted for me and it also has an adjusted waist with velcro tabs and I don't care for a lot of velcro in my clothes (too many incidents when washing velcro with other clothes). The material was nice and I loved the detailing of the pockets but the fit and velcro was a deal-breaker for me so I sent them back.

I love the nikita brand - their styling is edgy without being over the top. Based on the other reviewers I went up 2 sizes (for comparison I have a pair of nikita denim capris in size 28 that fit just right) and ordered a size 30 in fog. The size 30 fit perfectly and I love the way the back pockets angle downward but they looked almost exactly like a pair of Nau pants I already have. I couldn't justify keeping them so I sent the Nikita Crush jean back. :( I'll definitely keep an eye out for more Nikita demin styles in the future. I'm taking away a star just because the sizing is so off.

I had already bought a different style of RVCA jeans and loved them so I thought I'd try the Sangria. Great fit and style but they looked so much like the other pair I already have I sent them back. I like the fit of the RVCA jeans(my boyfriend likes the fit too ;) ) - the rise hits just below the waist line without being on the hip bones and the back of the pants is high enough i don't have to worry about plumbers crack.

Like the previous reviewer stated - the fit was ok...but the color reminded me too much of the blue jean acid wash styles from the 80s or was is the 90s.

I wish they had more colors in my size. I ordered the soil brown in size 2. The material is so soft and nicely stretchy. The back pockets have interesting detailing to them. The fit isn't super snug - typically I like my clothes a bit more fitted but it's just a tad bigger than I prefer but not too big that I would send it back. I had also ordered the Prana A-line skirt at the same time but the North Face skirt just fit and looked better so the Prana went back and the North Face is in my closet.

This was a super cute skirt. I ordered the plaid in xs. The material is a technical type with a nice stretch and feel to it. I like my clothes to be at least semi-fitted -not skin tight but not hanging on me either. I have another Carve Designs skirt in xs and it fits great but this seemed to be more of a size small not an xs. So back it went.

I ordered this in 2 sizes (size 27 and size 28). I loved the rear pocket detailing. The 28 fit just right (i'm an xs/size 2) but it seemed a little frumpy it reminded me of the way 'mom jeans' fit. The rear pockets were just as cute in real life as in the pic but it didn't make up for the rest of the fit. The 27 was way small - with the perfect fit of the 28 I figured I'd be able to squeeze into the 27 but I couldn't get it past my hips. There seems a big jump between sizes.

I loved the pics of this skirt and ordered size 4. I'm a xs/size 2 but since the 4 was the smallest size available i thought I'd give it a try. The 4 was way too big - it fit more like a size 6. The material has a nice weight and texture to it but since it fit like a potato sack I couldn't really tell if it would look good until I try it a smaller size. I sent it back and hopefully a smaller size will be in stock soon

I'm an xs/size 2 and ordered this skirt in a 2. It's a simple style and very cute however it fits more like a large 4 - way too baggie of a fit for me. Typically Prana xs works for me so maybe they have different sizing for the numbered sizes. I also ordered the North Face Parker Seam cord skirt(size2) at the same time. The fit on the North Face skirt was much better so the Prana is going back.

What can I say? I have a black one of this style of jacket I bought 7 years ago - it's still going strong. When I saw the Grizzly color was on sale I jumped on it. The XS is true to size - the jacket is functional, keeps the wind out and looks great. I look forward to many years of wear.

I'm an xs/size 2 and these fit like a size 6. Cool style features but way too big. I sent them back.

I love these pants. super cute styling. the front side of the pants are a little longer and extend past the knee with the back side a little shorter. I've been wearing these with boots that are mid-calf high and knee-hi socks peeking out. love the look. I ordered size 28 (i'm an xs/size 2) and they fit just right!

I have another Icebreaker sweater in the closet and love it. I wear XS and prefer fitted clothing. The quality of this item is a very nice mid-weight wool and the styling is great. Love the thumbholes and side pocket. But it does seem to run a size larger than my other sweater. I find I don't wear it as often as I would if it were more fitted. But I definitely liked it enough to keep it.

I have many Arc'teryx products. Their style, quality and functionality is top-notch. This is no exception. I wear XS and like fitted clothing. This definitely fits the bill. It's warm, very fitted (a little hard to take off sometimes it's so snug) and looks great. This is in frequent rotation during the winter months.

I really liked the color (olive) and the unique styling of the jacket. I liked the look of the collar/chest flap - but it makes the jacket hard to wear with the zipper open. But it was just a tad too big for me to keep. Granted I'm tiny 4'10" ~100lbs so it's hard to find clothes that fit. But the sleeves were too long and the wrist area wasn't snug that allowed for pushing up. The material seem nice but since I didn't wear it I can't speak for the durability and I would say semi-fitted but not boxy like another reviewer state. With the size and the collar flap being awkward - I decided to return it. I will be keeping an eye out for more B by Burton styles that will work for me.

I loved the styling of this skirt and it would've looked great with my boots - but the sizing seems to run big on the Lole brand. I'm a true XS and I was hoping the size 4 would work for me - but it's a large 4...it was just too loose so I had to send it back. I love Lole's styles - I just wish they'd make smaller sizes.
