I'm tall and fit, 6'3" 33" waist, long back, what size do you recommend? Typical cycling shorts fit well in a size Large.

Yes... I Recommend you the large size, because this is a very fit, so, if you take a small size, it can be a little unconfortable and very tight. Regards

You can go to the Diamondback site, plug in your height and inseam, and it will give you their recommendation. I'd (just about) bet if you have a 34 or longer inseam, you'd be well served with the XL. I was on the bubble, went L and sometimes wish I'd gone XL. It's a pretty decent bike. 105 is a long proven gearing system.

I would agree that the Large may be a 12 - 14. I ordered large originally as I wear a 10 but didn't want tight shorts and the large was too big.

The shorts do run small so, I would go up 2 sizes. I know size 40 doesn't look good on that rear tag but you will enjoy the fit.

My husband is 6'4", 200 lbs, with a 34 inch waist. I purchased an XL for him and they fit perfectly, I would recommend an XL for you as well.

If you wear hip protection I would recommend a medium.... I'm 5'10 36-38 waist and I wear poc vpd hip protectors and the Large fits perfectly. So logically if I were you I would go with the Medium. The shorts have velcor adjustments at the hips so if the medium is a little loose you can tighten it up easy. I used these shorts all last season and they are very high quality. I'm very happy with them

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 also have a 33" waist, fairly thin (cyclist) build. I ordered the 32 and it was way too tight around the hips. The fabric stretches, so you could wear them, but I did not feel that they would be appropriate to wear to the gym due to the extra bulge in front. I returned and ordered the 34. A little big, but a much better fit around the hips. The drawstring keeps them from slipping down at the waist.

I am 6'2", and I have the standard size which fits great. There is still plenty of slack to either tighten it up or loosen. I would recommend the x-large based on your weight.

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 would recommend size Large if you like a somewhat roomy fit, with room underneath for another shirt. I am the same height, but another 30-35 pounds heavier, and size Large fits me all right. I even have some Extra Large jerseys, but these tend to be very long and very full. If you like a somewhat more trim fit, I would think Medium might work for you.

I wear a large for size 36 (waist). I would order a medium for a 32 (waist)

I would recomend you buy size large with a long inseam which will fit a 35 1/2" to 39" waist and is 35 1/2" inseam. The regualr inseam is 32 1/2" long so to short for you.

I have a 31" waist and the M (Medium) fits me well (tight as bike shorts should be). If I were you, I would order the Small.

i'm heavier and taller than you and the extra large worked for me, so i'm guessing you might want a large. you definitely don't want tri shorts to be too big b/c they slow you down and be uncomfortable in the water and on the run. however, i can't recommend these shorts b/c i did not like the fit at all and ended up returning them. i use a one-piece for triathlon and it works for me. of course, these might work for you - the price is definitely nice! good luck.

I'm a 36' waist and 33" inseam and the large fits me perfectly. I generally tuck in a mid-weight base layer and then use the velcro straps on the side to tighten very slightly.

It's been my experience the Pearl Izumi runs small. I would suggest the XL.
