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.

I might go with the XXL. It should still have the compression feel and will be easier to get out of after a work out.

The bicycle companys have a size chart for your height and inseam. I went by it and it went well for me.

Not sure... My Hubby is 6'4" and weighs close to 300lbs and the xxl fits him well.

I have a 36" waist and bought the XL. If anything it's a HAIR too big, so I suspect the XL would be a perfect fit for your man.

I only like the L/XL Real Fit - I wear size 42 jeans. I tried everything else & these are the best! You should order S/M. Hope that helps. Merry Christmas!

I looked up the sizing chart on Pearl Izumi's online store to find my size (I'm a 32" waist so I fit a medium). Here's the link to the Pearl Izumi online store: http://shop.pearlizumi.com/product.php?mode=view&pc_id=331&product_id=1776460&outlet=&color_code=027

There stuff fits to size and usually snug like cycling gear should. So if you don't like the snug fit I would opt for 1 size larger. Good stuff though and I love their gear. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

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

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'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.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

I've found the O'Neill size chart to be spot on. If you can find a size in the chart that works, I'd feel confident you can trust it to be accurate.
