I have a 43 inch waist and weigh 211lbs - based on Pearl Izumi size chart the men's XXL is my best fit. You agree?

I wear 34 in almost all pants and shorts. The size chart says medium is 32-34. I couldn't even get them on. A large is 35-37 and fits me perfectly. So, based on my experience, I would say order two inches larger than usual which means the XXL should work for you.

I would say yes but also the XL could be tight and I prefer tight. So the answer is yes, in any case you can use the return service. Difficult to help with clothes as they are very personal experience, sorry.

Sharon B. I am a 42-44 inch waist and I weight 271 lbs. I ordered the Pearl Izumi shorts and they fit me pretty well! they are comfortable for long rides and I dont have any issues with them at all! The padded area really helps for the long rides.

The guy I bought one for is 6'0", 163 muscular lean but he said the X-large fit just right, so a size XXL might be good.

Wow ! Well I went with a small and I weight 150 - 32 / 30. The length is a tad long but the overall fit has been great. I use the compression pants for riding. I would say a medium and again the waist look to run true to form but the length run long. (but comfortable)....

I tried the xl and my 95 lb pit wad too tall. I ended up with the xxl. Good luck.

I wear a 40 and sometimes 42 D and the xl/xxl worked just fine for me. I would say get this set and maybe a m/l (or whatever the set is that's one size smaller) because your size will change and you want to have what fits best.

Maggie F. -I think what will help you the most is to first look at the Columbia sizing information here: http://www.columbia.com/Men's-Silver-Ridge™-Convertible-Pant/AM8004,default,pd.html#PDPSizeChart .My experience, as a male, is that I normally wear a 32 waist, and these pants were too tight, primarily in the thighs, especially for active wear. I reordered a 34 and they fit well. Would they work for a 34 waist? _Probably_, if you were exactly or slightly less than a 34. But that's just a guess. Again, weigh that against Columbia's sizing information.

I wear an XL. I ordered an XXL to be safe. It is marked as an XXL, but is really a small. I have 4 other XL bike jerseys that fit so there is an issue at Izumi.

They run fairly true to size. I have three pair, size xlarge. When I bought them they fit really well. I've lost 20lbs or so since so I could get large now but with the drawstring waist I keep wearing why I've got.

I have a 46"+ waist. and the xxl work well for me. These are just sweat pants with cargo pockets and a camo look.

I am 6' 1' and 212 lbs, 38WX34L. XXXL fit snuggly around my waist with perfect length. I think the XXXL length would be too long for you. You might consider XXL instead.

I ordered the XL. I'm about a 36, fits me perfectly. So yes I would say your be just right with the XXL

I'm a 40 waist and the waist on the on the XX is a little big so as long as your thighs aren't the same size and your waist, the XX should be fine.

hi shauna. i didn't have a clue as to correct 'sizing.' but i'm tall and thin....(5'7" 115 lbs) and love the mens small). the fibers feel great...nothing like clothes made of 'oil!'

For 42, I did xxl and I had a very comfortable/loose fit. For length, you have specific length options.

I am 6' and about 190-200lbs. My waist is 32-34" with a 36" inseam. I got the XXL and I'm pretty happy. They could use another 0.5-1" in length, maybe, and I would be ok if they were a little less snug in the legs (but I usually have to get relaxed fit jeans). You would probably be ok with XXL or even XXXL.

I went with typical men's waist sized, i.e., whatever your pants waist size is I would use the same...mine fit perfectly using this criteria.

you should order the xxl but remember when you start to lose weight the suit will become bigger but still works the same. I was about the same weight when I bought. so it will fit you tight and you will sweat immediately.
