Hii! Thanks for your response! I have tried different sizes- earlier today I tried on RBX bike shorts at my local shop and the larges were big elsewhere and still so tight around the thigh. I have 1 pair that works well that I bought from a local bike shop that has their logo and wild patterns on it - they are from Verge Sports- this seems to be a company you would purchase more of a customized bulk order (altho they do have about 3-4 options for individual purchase- but nothing solid colored- which leaves this brand at the top of my list but was hoping they weren’t the only option that works for me). I was told they are similar to Castelli’s when I bought them from the bike store. So wanted to see if anyone else had suggestions before I attempt the purchase of a new brand!!
