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.

"Best" may be in the eye of the beholder and those with unlimited funds. But I've worn Pearl Izumi for years. I've used them on 25 mile time trials to 160 mile road races. Never once been uncomfortable, disappointed, or had a pair fail. I'm 6'1" #173 and large works great for me. Hope this helps.

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.

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

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.

XXL is what fits me well. i am 6'2" 215 Lbs. It will probably be tight or worse on you. I think this is teh largest they make.

If it's a normal fit and not compression I'd go with XXL. It also depends if he likes his shirts tight fitting. See I do not.

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.

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

I think it would depend on your shape, but if you're fairly athletic, an XL should suffice. I'm an athletic 290lbs and the XXL is perfect.

My waist is 33". However, I got XXL more for my legs, which are proportionally larger than most. XL would fit my waist, but it would be tight through my thighs.

I am 6'4, 190-200lbs. The charts showed me as a large but I'm going to order my next pair in an XL. I have XL in another Izumi style and are those are slightly longer and not as tight. I dont like them super tight so it could be just my preference.

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.

I have a 44 inch waist and ordered a XL and it's a little snug. It's loosened up a bit from washing. If I had it to do over I probably would've gone with the XXL.
