There are at least two different fabrics with which the MUSA shorts/
knickers/pants have been made. The year-old butternut/olive shorts and
pants I have are made of thin wispy nylon a la Ex Officio Amphi pants.
The grey/blue pants and olive shorts I have are much more substantial;

I think all you guys have convinced me the mediums will be ok. I
particularly appreciate learning about the difference in the fabrics
of grey vs. olive. I'm going to get a grey pair and just pray that
the crazy blue crotch is less noticeable than it appears in the photos

Just for reference. I'm thin - 5'8 145lbs - and the small fit me
just right. I decided on the small because riv listed them as full
cut in the quad area. I've been riding more regularly and the legs
seem more snug. I will consider a medium when I order the next pair.
The pants feel great
I'm definitely not thin (6' about 233 right now). The XL pants fit
right. And can layer something underneath when it gets cold. For
example, the not so tights Rivendell sells.

around my thighs. I can wear them. But it's not a
I have the shorts, knickers and pants and am very happy with them for
touring. The shorts were great this past summer on some casual rides
on very hot days. I wish the shorts were a tad longer and not quite as
wide around the opening. I wear them with ExOfficio underwear which
seems to be a good
Thanks. I want trim but not tight. I chose based on the inseam and waist
measurements given, so I suppose my question comes down to, how accurate are
those measurements? I guess I'll find out in a few days.
It's just that I have never worn small before.

Hmmm -- I'm 2 taller and 170; perhaps I'll be returning for a medium. We'll
see. Probably should have ordered by phone and not online. But then I
Waist is not that much of an issue as the design incorporates a cinch
belt (or whatever you call that belt in belt dealy) inside an elastic
band. I am just under 6' with a 33 inch inseam. The length of the
large is just right for me with the shoes I wear for touring.

Hi Jim,
I'm 6 foot tall and weigh 140 soaking wet so am pretty thin. I wear
the MUSA long pants and they don't billow but lay flat in the front.
The seat billows out a bit but this actually works best on the bike
because you never feel constrained in the saddle. My wife
complimented me on how
'nother data point ... I'm 5' 7 and 125, well, more like 120
currently. I wear size small in the old brown version of MUSA pants
and find them to be just right, with a fair amount of the elastic belt
cut off. I use them very often for commuting when it gets down to the
mid 50's, all the way down
I got a pair of the shorts some years ago, and I like them as summer
knockabout shorts AND as swim trunks (Sun damage requires I cover up
more than most swimsuits allow). Because I live in the rainy NW, I
never thought about buying the pants or knickers -- the fabric would
be too lightweight for
Gosh, now I feel weird about the pants I wear almost every day.
I'm thin, average height. MUSA pants fit just right, not to tight or
billowy. The velcro cuffs are key. Great pants.

I am certainly thin. Sounds as though my sartorial preferences may be
opposite yours, however. I cannot stand, and do not wear skin tight
riding garments. At least with pants and shorts I find regular fit
can chaffe. So I prefer to wear looser pants and shorts.
I only use the MUSA on tours.
I'm the same way - 6'3, about 210lbs, and i wish i'd gotten the XL;
the large are a little more snug in the thigh than i'd like.

Comfortable, pack small and well, and clean up easily. When it is

I wish the MUSA pants/shorts/K-nicks had a touch of lyrcra or similar
stretchy material. That extra little bit of give is the only thing they're
missing.

I can see a tiny bit of stretch being nice, yes. I also wish
