Where is the size chart to help decide the appropriate size? The reviews seem to conclude that you should order one size up.. Update 1/14/13: I am a size 34 and was concerned that I should have ordered the XL but using the size chart on the Zoic website I went with a leap of faith and ordered the Lg. they seem to fit fine. Have not been able to field test them yet but these seem like some pretty awesome MTb shorts, especially for the price. Thanks to everyone for commenting on the sizing.

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

It was hard to find, but I think I googled "Zoic size chart". And yes, one size up seemed to be a generally good rule of thumb.

Get a tape measure and measure "hip bone" area and then look at their chart. I made the mistake the first time and ordered too small. I have a 35" waist and believe I ordered the medium large. They don't write the sizes on the garments. Order bigger too if you plan on wearing them over your underwear which I do. I believe I ordered the medium large for the 35" waist. Yours will be either the medium large or a large. Hope this helps you Robert.

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.

Amazon doesn't provide a sizing chart. When I guessed wrong on my Amazon order, I contacted the Xcel company directly and they were extremely helpful in determining my appropriate size. I returned the original and wound up purchasing directly from the company.

the ones I got and had to return ran very small for their size. I would say go up one or even two sizes... but they also run more toward lean kid... if got any kinda size that's not thin, you might have a problem... going up in size to fit body will prob make legs long....

They've been working great for me. I would only add that it's very important you find the right size. That said, I'd recommend getting the "variety" pack at first and then, after figuring out which provide the best fit, order accordingly. Hope this helps--good luck.

I purchased this item for my son for xmas. I purchased the x-lg He is stating is a little larger than he would like! But he is 6'5" tall. I would talk to the customer service department @ Under Armour! I talked to them several times. I will say that my son loves it and it looks great on. Hope this was help full?

The best advice I can give on sizing is to go to their website, click FAQ and then call their 800 number. Moosjaw stores live chat was also helpful in determining the best size. The reason I say this is that the size is very dependent on the usage. I ordered the XL mainly to go over my large pac boots I wear ice fishing and still hunting deer in the winter muzzle loader season in Canada. Calf and shoe size are only helpful to a point since the ultimate measurement is what you will be wearing and putting the gaiter over top of when you are dressed. One solution is to put on the clothing you will be using and then measure. The larger sizes are taller which to me means warmer and more waterproof. There is a belt tightener at the top as well as under your boot ahead of the heel. I use a smaller size for fall grouse hunting and the XL for winter snowshoes on a size 10 lacrosse pac boot.I love these gaiters and if you follow the instructions in putting them on you will love them too. Another tip is to put them on with the boot buckle to the outside where it won't catch your clothing . cheers

The size is true to the sizing chart, i dont know what all these other people are talking about! READ the chart people!!! I wear a size 11 womens and I ordered the medium. My toes stuck out a bit and that is normal.

The only way to be sure is to go to pearl izumi's website, look up this short specifically, then view the size chart and ask the women in question to find what their size is. I do rate this short as absolutely true to size. I'm 5'9'' 120lbs and the size "small" fits me perfectly.

The largest one they offer, which I think is an extra-large? You will want the largest they offer, regardless of their recommendation, because it can be quite tight. Especially at first. I previously read a review by someone who followed the recommendation insofar as size, and it ended up being a bit on the tight side. They felt they should have gone up a size, although they thought they wouldn't need to at first. Hope this helps.

I got an automated "can you answer this" email from amazon.I think the top number in the size chart in amazon is the "Jacket Size". Similar to when you buy a suit off the rack. From there it lists chest, waist etc...I recommend going to their website for sizing info (that's what i did). I bought an extra-large and my typical suit size would be a 42-44. It fits closely with the liner in and is short. But that is the fit of a motorcycle jacket. So if you plan to ride without the liner go a bit smaller, if you will ride mostly with the liner go a bit bigger.I like the jacket. Good luck.

Yes, Chinese and American sizes aren't on the same page, ha. If you wear a(S)I would order a(L), if you're a(M), an XL is the ticket. I wear a 34 (L) and ordered 2XL. They fit perfect. With the draw string you can snug them up as tight as you want. I've been wearing mine on rides for a month or so now, and really like them, comfortable and light. The padded liner really helps to keep your butt from getting sore, too. Good luck.

You can't use the company guidelines. Didn't work for me and though they write and tell you they want to satisfy you, they do not answer when you tell them their sizing chart was inaccurate. If you don't mind throwing the dice just buy by their chart on their website. I am stuck with a brace that does not fit. Perhaps calling the company to find a store near you that will let you try it on before purchase.

This link includes a sizing chart http://www.sierratradingpost.com/white-sierra-teton-convertible-trail-pants-upf-30-zip-off-legs-for-women~p~5376n/?filterString=s~white-sierra-women%2F&colorFamily;=02. You may also find specific instructions on taking measurements. I used the sizing chart to order these for my wife. She says they they fit perfectly, however, I can not speak for the experiences of others'.

Hi Roberta,There is no sizing guide so I read all the other customer comments and went with what size people who sounded like my size got. I also went to a sporting goods store and tried one on. I think they actually carried the Bally brand. I know I'm not a tiny size 6 nor am I a plus-size woman so I went with a medium and it was a perfect fit.
