I'm a 5'5, 100lbs woman and I ordered size 28. I should've take size 26, bit baggy around hips\thighs but with the cord at the waist and oversize shirt, all is good. I live in Canada, this was my first chinese shopping experience and will do business again. Delivery was fast, the quality is amazing, very thick nylon material, I know it'll last, the velcro at tue ankle is the way to go, all pants should have this, it gives a tappered look, perfect. It's worth every penny. If people wonder about import fees, I had to pay only 25$, which is cheap. It's more expensive when I order from US even though it's right below Canada.
