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 have a 34 waist. After reading the reviews which stated that you needed to order one size bigger to get the proper fit, I bought one in the large (34 to 37 inch) size. Works perfectly for me!

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 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.

Robin, I ordered a extra large for a 46" waist and it seems to be a little small. If I were you I would go for a medium. You can always pull it tighter.........

You can find the company's sizing info at this URL: http://www.exofficio.com/images/cust_serv/sizing_chart/ms-chart.png and as you can see, 38 falls into the L size while 40 falls into the XL size. I have about the same waist as you and I use the L size and it fits nicely. Hope this helps.

I bought a pair a medium for my 42 inch waist hubby and they fit snugly but not too snugly. so I would guess a medium for you? hope this helps.

Hey. That's a little hard for me to say. I have found though that the belt is quit adjustable up to several inches as you can see the belt notches. As long as you don't get something way to small or entirely too huge, you should be fine. I think many people in the 36-42 inch waist are about an XL. I hope this helps. Good belt for the price.

I sized my pants from my underwear size S/M/L. I am 6' and 225lbs so I had to get XL and they fit wonderfully. The waist band is very good elastic allowing a tight but very comfortable fit. Hope this helps.Jim

I have a 34 waist and the Large are snug for me. Large might work for 36 if looking for a very tight fit, but for a more comfortable fit I would look to the XL (especially for someone taller than 5'10" or with large quadreceps).

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

They are a bit snug on the waist. I would go a size up. I am a 32 and went with medium. Should have gone with a large but the medium is wearable.

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.

I bought a XL and have a 36 waist it was tight then I got a XXL and it seemed the same as XL. They seem to run small

it is an adjustable waist so I would say it could fit from a small to a size XL

s=28~30", m=32-34",l=36-38",xl=40-42", 2xl=44-46", 3xl=48-50", 4xl=52-54". now i have a 34" waist, i bought the m size, and only have 1" of belt left over thru buckle, i would like a little more so the end tucks into the belt loop, i would choose one size larger if thats what you like also, if you dont like anything haging out of the buckle then choose your waist size and order that one. hope that helps.

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
