I have one pair of Craft size large that fit like a medium, tight thighs. The pad doesn't have a covering on it so I'm basically sitting on foam rubber. It kinda grabs. I also have pair of XL winter bibs. The calf section is tight, the thighs are loose (I know, grow bigger thighs). The pad is covered in this pair and is fine. I sugest buy the next size up from your normal size.
