I thought the leg opening would be smaller in circumference for the women's style in the Eastbay 8" Basic Mesh Short, but it isn't. So the difference would be the length. The women's Eastbay 8" Basic Mesh Short in an XL size is 21" long with an 8" inseam length.
For your situation, call the regular order line and request 'Team Sales' to order 14 of the women's Eastbay Moisture Management 8" Mesh Shorts. They will help with the sizing as well so you don't have to search so much. The order line phone number is on top of the web page.
