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..........

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.

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

The XL will fit in the waist. They run a little long in the length.. About 32.

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

I bought my son a Large and he wears a 36" waist in jeans. These are meant to fit snug, so do remember that when ordering. Hope this helps.

They run pretty true to size. The waist expands a few inches. If you like a snug fit, get a 36. I'm a 40 and I get a 38 waist. Get the length you are. If I get a wider waist, I get a shorter length because of the extra room in the rear end.

Sorry to say, that although these are great pants, sizing can be an issue. I wear a 36 waist in jeans, and so bought lg and that seems to fit fine, you may want to try an XL, but make certain you try them on right away in case you have to make a return, as I did first time around. According to 5.11's sizing chart on their site, the size for you would be the top of the "L" or bottom of the "XL" size category - I would go to the higher end, with XL. You can chk 56.11's site and then go from there.

Ummm I don't know, I say they run kind of big to me. I'm 6'2" slim built 175lbs & I've got an L & think I could've gotten a M so I guess I'll say any where from between an M to a XL for you depending on how you like your things to fit you, I prefer a pretty slim fit, this fits kinda big to me but it's not to bad plus adding the 2 drawstrings at the bottom, I hope I was able to answer your question.

I can't say for sure but I can tell you how mine fits. I have a 38 inch waist and the large belt is plenty big. I could easily be 4" wider in girth and still use the large. Does that help? My uneducated guess is that the XL would work for you.

I'd recommend you go a size larger than you'd normally buy in underpants. I have a 29 inch waist and the small was a little snug. Not to the point where I couldn't wear it but it would've been more comfortable if I had gotten a medium.

Hi Ben, I'm a 37 1/2" waist and the large are fine on me. Snug enough to stay up without a belt, but because of the elastic there's lots of room. You might even want to think about a medium but definitely not XL. Tom

I am about a 34-35" waist and a large was huge. Wish I would have gotten a medium. Hopefully that helps you..

I think they run true. I were a 32" or 33"waist and the large fits me well.
