Mares XR Tek Pocket Ultra Light Shorts Sliding Down...

I'm also looking at these and happy to hear any more info folk can share.

I like the sound of the non-bouyant bilam/kevlar and would hope they're hard-wearing... but are two velcro patches the only thing keeping the waist cinched? Seems like that's going to fail pretty easily

Also do they fit close, or (as the photos would suggest) are they more like a loose boardshort? Loose at the leg opening?

I bought a 2XL which was correct by height and weight but they seem huge over shorts, loose and to my knees. Haven't tried them over a wetsuit yet, but I expect a similar fit. Think I should have gone with an XL, which was sized for someone 3 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter according to the size chart.
