I am 5'11, 225lbs with 42 waist, I want comfort but sometimes pants too long (xxl or xl?)

I am also 5'11", 240 with a 42 waist. The pants were slightly long but not uncomfortably long causing tripping, etc. I got the XL. Hope this helps.

Paul I am 5'9", 210lb 36" waist. I own a XL an I can wear them over baggy jeans with the liner in. Great fit and the waist has adjustment on the waistband. Best motorcycle pants for the money.

Either would probably work. I'm 6'0", 205 lbs, 36 waist and I wear a large. The XL felt like a diaper on me. The sizing guide is very accurate. Tighter is better IMHO. I wore 3 pair on RAGBRAI for 6 days and was never uncomfortable.

When I initially bought these, I was a 40/42, as well. The XL seemed to measure in at 36/38, which was very disappointing as I thought they would have been baggy. Typically (in my experience), XXL translates to 42/44 or larger, but definitely not in this case. I just checked my review and for the life of me, I cannot remember writing that review!! I think I might need to contact Amazon because I thought I sent those shorts back for being WAY too small. Also, I think that the inseam might be around 9" and I've typically worn 11", but have bought some 7" inseam shorts, which are a little too short. :-) Hope this helps! Others on their reviews say that the fit is a little big; I don't think that's right, but I'll have to look into my wardrobe when I get home.

Go XL, they have a very stretchy waistband so don't worry about it being too tight. And you can just use the drawstring if its slightly too big

I would recommend going up to a 34. The waist band has a 3 inch elastic on each side of the pants which allows the pants to fit a little tighter yet still provide comfort. Also the pants comes with a twill belt if it is too loose.

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.

Jim, I am 5'9" and weigh 290. I wear size 44 pants. I think this will go around you fine. I had to take up the length on mine so I feel sure it will work for you. I really like it.

I would suggest a size 6...I'm 5'5'' @120lbs and wear a size 4 comfortably. There's extra elastic stretch in waist also. They ship unhemmed, which is a great thing, so you have them hemmed for your liking! These pants are wonderful!!

I have a 36 inch waist and a large is very comfortable for me. I would assume that an extra large would fit 38 to 44 inches.

I am a 34 and because of what I carry I ordered a 35 and I think that you should allow a little give room because no ones waist stays the same for as long as these pants will last.

Hi Peter,Can't answer that for you. Myself, I am a 33 waist by 34 Long. My order was Medium in waist and 34 Long. I believe their is enough waist play after me wearing mine with the elastic waist band to help give you the comfort you need. These are my second pair and I really like them for comfort and hiking.

If you're a genuine 38 I would order the XL instead. I'm a 42 and the XXL fits comfortably. Hope this helps.

No order xxL !! I have 36'' waist and xxl fits perfectly. The xxl can fit 37 I believe, not sure about 38'. But xxxl can be too big.

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.

I'm 5'11" and 182 pounds I use the large and fits well a little bit tight but well overall, so if I were you I'd buy XL. Regards
