These leggings run extremely small. I am 5'5" 125 lbs and normally wear a size small leggings. I picked up a small to try on in the store and actually checked to make sure they weren't a young girl's size. Even the size Medium North Face is almost 2" smaller than an Athleta girl's size 16 at the waist (see picture - NF leggings on top, Athleta on bottom). Even a size M was difficult to get over my hips, and then when on are a bit baggy behind the knee. For reference, the NF website has a very similar pair of leggings made out of the same material and the model has a 24" waist and 37" hips and wears a size M. Material is nice and pockets are key for me, but I'm disappointed in NF for the sizing of this product.
