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've purchased these in 3 different colors (multicam, gray, and black). I'm 6'00" and have wear a 38x34 in regular jeans. These run true to size with length so definitely get the tall -as regular were perfect for me with where the double lined fabric is on the knees. As far as waist, the Large that I got are VERY snug, so for a 36 inch waist they would be perfect... I'd recommend you get the size: Large-Tall

If I remember correctly you order by S, M, L etc. my husband is a 38-40 waist size and I ordered him the XL and it fits him perfect. Hope this helps

I have a 34 waist and ordered an xxl - fits good. The waist has both a drew string and elastic - it could easily expand out to 36 - 38, so I suspect you will have no problem with XXXL. Happy riding

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.

I have a 36 inch waist and got the large and they were just the right size so they would probably be super tight on a 38, I'd get the xl just to have the extra breathing room.

There is no sizing chart that we could find, but my husband is a 40 waist and the XL fits perfectly... hope that helps.

I think they run true. I were a 32" or 33"waist and the large fits me well.

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.

My waist is larger, I bought large when I should gotten XL. Sounds like you could use Medium.

I was just thinking about more because they work so well for my dog and thought I should comment. I got my dog a XL she is about 70 pounds and her waist is 25-26 in. The sizing on the package says Large: waist measurement 16"-23" & 35-55 lbs. XLarge: waist m 18"-26" & 55-75 lbs. XXLarge: waist m 21"-28" & 70-90 lbs. I bought based on this sizing and the XL fits my dog great.

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.

Sorry to say, that although these are great pants, sizing can be an issue. I wear a 36 waist in jeans, and so bought lg and that seems to fit fine, you may want to try an XL, but make certain you try them on right away in case you have to make a return, as I did first time around. According to 5.11's sizing chart on their site, the size for you would be the top of the "L" or bottom of the "XL" size category - I would go to the higher end, with XL. You can chk 56.11's site and then go from there.

Thanks Martha. I like my clothes loose so cinch my jeans down to a 36/37. Do you think the XL is still the right size? What about length? Terry
