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 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

In my experience, these run tight around the waist. I have a 32" waist and normally wear a medium in underwear. However, I bought these in a size L and find them quite tight.

There is a size chart on the Zoic web site. These shorts run small. I'm 33 waist had to go with large.

You order for comfort. What size underwear shorts do you wear? I would base my size then on that. I have a little over a 38 waist and I have used XL because I don't like tight fitting underwear or supporters.

For these, it's the same as your underwear size. But these shorts run small, so you may want to go up a size

Not sure. I wear a Medium and I have a 32 inch waist. I could probably wear a small but it would probably be tighter than I want. I would say wear small up to 31-21 inches.

I have a 33" waist and I bought the medium size. It's perfect for me but for someone with a much larger waist it would be hard to use. I'd guess for a waist of maybe 40" or less the medium would be good and for bigger, the large would be good.

I can tell you this: my waist can vary between 34-36 inches, and I normally wear a large. However, I purchased a Medium in these shorts, and I am glad I did not get anything larger. So, you might actually be able to wear an XS as crazy as that sounds, but the Small would probably be your safer bet. Hope that helps.

Here is the waist size listings for the Men's Backcountry shorts from the Royal Robbins website: S = 30" M = 32" - 33" L = 34" - 36" XL = 38" - 40" XXL = 42" - 44" Could not find a length measurement on the website

I have a 38" waist and ordered large, which are fine for me. I think for a 36" you might want medium. They have an elastic waistband so they are pretty adaptable.Tom

Yes sizes are waist sizes. I thought it ran a bit small/tight, but then it's probably supposed to fit snug. If I gain any more inches around the waist, I'll have little velcro left to connect the strap.

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

I have a 35 waist and bought XL. They fit well. My legs are not thin, probably medium to above average.

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 have a 33-inch waist and the medium fits very well. I imagine that they would still fit if I were a 34, but I think they would be slightly tight.

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