How does the sizing run? what does a XL translate into a waist size?

I wear about a 38 waist & bought a size large. The fit is good except while biking. My thighs take up the entire pant leg and stretch it just slightly. They fit fine in the waist and for walking around, though I would only call them baggy relative to lycra bike shorts. Next time I will buy and XL. Hope this helps.

I love my shorts. I ordered a large and they fit as they expected. So, my guess is that their sizes are accurate. Ihope this helps.

I purchased Large, I wear 34 waist and they fit well with plenty of room in the waist. Zoic website has a sizing chart, XLarge shows 36 for non-elastic waist and 36-39 with elastic waist. These shorts have elastic waist so should fit 36 thru 39. The shorts have a comfortable nylon belt as well to keep them from falling down..........

I would recommend an xl as I feel the large might be too tight on adjustment but would work. I have a 36 waist and my wife's M is tight when adjusted but would work if I needed very firm support. I have tried it and her M I used one day by accident. So either an L or XL but I would recommend the XL. I measured mine and it would fit up to a 46 waist with the large. Though for best support I would recommend the XL to be proper and not too tight or loose.

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.

I ordered a size up and the waist was a little big, especially as I began to wear them more. They stetched somewhat. They still fit, but I definitely need a belt. If I had the chance to order again, I would go with the normal size (knowing they would be a little tight at first). Hope that helps!

I am a 38 waist, and I bought a large. The adjustable waist is at the limit, however -- so it will allow for me losing inches, but not "un-losing" them. If you are above a 38, I would go with the XL, as they are a snug fit.

Get a medium. I have a 36 inch waist and wanted to get a large, but the medium fits perfect. I go three notches in out of eight

I'm a 36 waist too and this is rather snug. It's bearable, but only for an hour or two until my back begins to hurt, so you may want to go a size up, depending on your intended use.

Here's a sizing chart to help you determine what size you should purchase. First, measure your waist. Based on your measurement, use the chart below to find your size: X-Small: Up to 25 (64 cm) Small: 25-30 (64-76cm) Medium: 30-34 (76-86cm) Large: 34-38 (86-97cm) X-Large: 38-42 (97-107cm) 2Xlarge: 42-46 (107-117cm) 3Xlarge: 46-52 (117-132cm) 4Xlarge: 52-58 (132-147cm)

Hey Steve - I'm a 33 waist and I bought a large. They fit tight, but they are supposed to. You just have to get used to wearing a second set of skin - HA! I love mine.

Ummm I don't know, I say they run kind of big to me. I'm 6'2" slim built 175lbs & I've got an L & think I could've gotten a M so I guess I'll say any where from between an M to a XL for you depending on how you like your things to fit you, I prefer a pretty slim fit, this fits kinda big to me but it's not to bad plus adding the 2 drawstrings at the bottom, I hope I was able to answer your question.

You will need size Large, which will give you about 2" of extra belt to tuck into your belt loop, if you order a Medium you will have nothing to grab onto to pull it thru the buckle. If you like more belt to feed thru a couple of belt loops in your pants then order the XL. I have also read people ordering the XL size and customizing the length by cutting and then taking a lighter and warming up the ends so they dont fray.

I'm a straight up 38 waist and I ordered the 2XL. Fits perfectly. Just remember to tumble dry cool or line dry only - no high heat drying.

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.

XL in length end to end 53" my waist 38-40 , ordered a L was to small , but for your waist should work out.

I got the large and my son is a 34-36 waist. Another thing you might want to know is they are gathered and a little full looking, but if the XL is too big you can exchange, but I would do the XL for 38 to be comfortable. JMHO.

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 have a 42 inch waist and wear the XL. While they would probably stretch to 46 it would be very tight. I recommend you get the XXL. Also, do not put them in the dryer! I have 6 of them and for medical reasons I wear one every day. I have been wearing them for 7 months and they are still in good shape.
