I have the aussies in size M and I have found them quite comfortable - Usually I wear then over padded bike shorts with a MEC bike knicker over them. I have been comfortable in a range of 28 to 50 degrees in sometimes sunny Portland OR. They are neither too tight or too loose - they don't bag at the knees - they do have a generous rise in the back - no plumber's butt with these (no offense to any trades persons ;-) I am 5'11'' 185 lbs (or so) and ride a 65 Hilsen. +1
