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. ...

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.

I wear a 33 and sometimes 34 waist. I have a couple size Large zoot shorts and they fit nicely. They fit pretty snug - probably exactly the way most triathletes want them to. But all of my tri shorts seem to shrink a little over time. So I purchased the XL's for these and I am very happy with them. I would buy an XL again if I had to and I'm guessing that is probably what you should go for. I don't have any issues with any parts sagging or fitting loosely. Depending on your height you may want to go for a shorter inseam as these land an inch or 2 above my knee (just personal preference).

I wear a 36" waist and I bought an extra large. Note that the waist does have elastic AND a Velcro belt. All sizes should fit a wide range.

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.

The first answer is helpful, HOWEVER, I am a 31" waist. The small fits too snug to wear comfortably, the medium was closer to the 35" mark and fit very loosely. Sizing is accurate, but do not order smaller if you are borderline.

I would say that these PI shorts seem to be on the tight side. I usually wear small for PI's and I had to return them for a medium, which fit well. I would recommend using the size chart, looking at the waist-size range, and see if you think you need one size larger. Good luck. PS Returns are easy with Amazon.looking at the waist-size range, and consider one size larger.

My guess would be large. I found these shorts to be sized on the very small size. Hope that works.

The shorts my son has are youth XL which I think is a 28-30 waist. The men's S is the same waist size but a little longer length and more expensive. The shorts we picked came with a cup that fits the pocket that is inside the shorts.

Hi there, I would say they fit/sit just marginally below the waist... very comfortable shorts.

I'd recommend you go a size larger than you'd normally buy in underpants. I have a 29 inch waist and the small was a little snug. Not to the point where I couldn't wear it but it would've been more comfortable if I had gotten a medium.

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.

Pretty Good. I wear a 40" Waist Pant and bought an XL Boxer. It fits good. They fit skin tight, but do not bind at all!

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!

Dave: I measured 3 1/2 Inches (8.9 CM) on my size 34 Mitre Rugby shorts. As I mentioned in my review, size/shape seems weird (baggy). Smaii liseam, but the waist rides high. Keith

I am about a 34-35" waist and a large was huge. Wish I would have gotten a medium. Hopefully that helps you..
