How are these things sized? I mean, what waist size in inches goes with what shorts size?

I bought my son a Large and he wears a 36" waist in jeans. These are meant to fit snug, so do remember that when ordering. Hope this helps.

I got the large and I'm a 36-38 waist and its comfortably snug if that helps

Sizing is similar to how you would determine the proper size for a regular athletic supporter.

I wear size 34 jeans (actual measurement ~36") and ordered a size large based on the answers here. I find these shorts don't keep the cup in position effectively.

When I ordered them I was able to see a chart with the sizing. I would say that the sizing was the same as most under garments for men. Med. 32-34 waist, etc. ...

I am 1 inch shorter than you and my waist is 32. The size I purchased is Small/Medium and was the right size for me. It fits many waist sizes and we are about in the middle.

I have a 26" waist and have the small/medium. It fits perfectly when adjusted.

If you wear hip protection I would recommend a medium.... I'm 5'10 36-38 waist and I wear poc vpd hip protectors and the Large fits perfectly. So logically if I were you I would go with the Medium. The shorts have velcor adjustments at the hips so if the medium is a little loose you can tighten it up easy. I used these shorts all last season and they are very high quality. I'm very happy with them

I believe I am about 29" or 30" waist and 37" or 38" hips. The medium fits me well. I really like these shorts. They have great pockets for tennis balls.

I have a 34 inch waist and ordered the large size. They fit a little loose but can be tightened with the "belt". Can't answer the question about the XL size.

My waist size is 38 and I purchased the XL sized running shorts. Hope this helps.

I wear size 42 pants/sorts. If you take a tape measure and measure around my waist it's 46". They are snug and comfortable for me.

I'm a guy, 33-34 waist, and wear medium. When first put on they felt tight, but 10 minutes later they felt fine and fit perfect so I would say true to size. . Hope that helps. Good luck.

I'm 5'2 and it comes to my waist. They are standard size. Don't doubt the buy. They are all that and more!

I bought size 5 for my husband who is almost 6' and about 140 he needed them for the length. I wear a size 4 which are a little big, I'm 5'1" about 150. I have to roll the waist on mine and I probably could get away with a size 3

Not sure, my (32 waist) medium fit snug with the elastic belt tightening perfect for it to stay up just right. Love the shorts .... I'd think exlarge.

The length is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like shorts that cover most of my thighs, rather than booty shorts, so I really like these. (As for size, I'd say either large or extra-large. It depends on how you're built.)

These are great bike shorts! FYI- I have 33 waist and ordered Large. Probably could do XL if I wanted to have a baggier fit but large is fine for my liking. I think I have 4 sets of these as they are the best baggy bike shorts I have found

My labels have no waist sizes mentioned. I have a 35-36" waist and wear a large. Sorry, that's all the info I can offer.

I have a 36" waist and bought the XL. If anything it's a HAIR too big, so I suspect the XL would be a perfect fit for your man.

I am a 33 waist and the medium fits.But the bigger problem for me was the length. They really don't give good hamstring coverage. Hope that helps
