Capris are low waist style yet, no “muffin top” issues. The waist fit firmly and gave a wonderful support to my lower back. Bonus! The awesome stretch of the fabric allowed for a snug fit around my thighs, hips and waist and yet remain very comfortable. For reference, natural waist 32, low waist 36, hips 38, thighs 38 (circumference around both thighs). I usually wear 4-6 in ready to fit jeans.
Even with a snug fit, the pockets are absolutely usable. No use for adjustable waist at this time but it is a very nice feature. I could see these being good for curves because the fabric stretches well in all areas but the waistband is firm. Less likely to pouch outwards from full behinds. Very lightweight fabric.
Overall, I am thrilled about the fit. These are my first pair of MTB specific shorts. I prefer yoga pants or bibs. I ride daily so we shall see if these capris hold up over the long haul.
