Great Shorts
These shorts fit the bill. I would go a size up, they do run a bit small

Very light, but consider sizing up
I ordered two pairs of these. Both arrived on time and in good shape. These shorts are very light, if a little see through. I ordered a medium based on the size chart, but while they fit well around the waist, they were quite tight on the quads. I guess that's not necessarily a bad problem to have. If you have big quads, consider sizing up. Definitely ordering a large, but I wish the return process allowed me to swap for a larger size directly instead of having to reorder.
