How are these things sized? I mean, what waist size in inches goes with what shorts size?

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.

I got the large and I'm a 36-38 waist and its comfortably snug if that helps

Sizing is similar to how you would determine the proper size for a regular athletic supporter.

I wear size 34 jeans (actual measurement ~36") and ordered a size large based on the answers here. I find these shorts don't keep the cup in position effectively.

When I ordered them I was able to see a chart with the sizing. I would say that the sizing was the same as most under garments for men. Med. 32-34 waist, etc. ...

I wear pants with a size 33 or 34 inch waist. I bought the Large sized and they fit perfectly.

I just guessed actually. I wear a size 12 shorts and ordered a large. It has a Velcro closure at the back so you can wear it low on the hip or at the waist. Hope this helps.

Here is the waist size listings for the Men's Backcountry shorts from the Royal Robbins website: S = 30" M = 32" - 33" L = 34" - 36" XL = 38" - 40" XXL = 42" - 44" Could not find a length measurement on the website

I wear a 34" waist pant, and the medium fits me perfectly. I have no experience with the small, but I would guess that to be the right size for a 28" waist. FYI, I need a large in the matching top, the medium is too tight.

Dave: I measured 3 1/2 Inches (8.9 CM) on my size 34 Mitre Rugby shorts. As I mentioned in my review, size/shape seems weird (baggy). Smaii liseam, but the waist rides high. Keith

They seem to be accurate in measurements. I wear 30" in jeans and I ordered 30" and the shorts fit great. There is also a drawstring in them if they are a little bit big.

Pretty Good. I wear a 40" Waist Pant and bought an XL Boxer. It fits good. They fit skin tight, but do not bind at all!

You're the same size as my husband. He says they fit perfectly. The best part is that the bike shorts underneath are completely separate from the shrts. You will like these.

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.

Hmm. Well, I am currently a little bit smaller than a 33 inch waist and I have a pair of these knickers in a medium. I would say I am comfortable in a 32 but could pull off a 31, and with my medium knickers I have been thinking of getting a pair in a small because I have the adjustable waistband pulled as tight as it can be with the medium size. I would say try them out in a medium but you may be comfortable in a small.

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.

They are a bit snug on the waist. I would go a size up. I am a 32 and went with medium. Should have gone with a large but the medium is wearable.

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..........

I am 1 inch shorter than you and my waist is 32. The size I purchased is Small/Medium and was the right size for me. It fits many waist sizes and we are about in the middle.

I am a 38 waist, and I bought a large. The adjustable waist is at the limit, however -- so it will allow for me losing inches, but not "un-losing" them. If you are above a 38, I would go with the XL, as they are a snug fit.

i have no idea-i deal in inches but have never measured the shorts-i ordered a large was way too big-then ordered a medium fits good.
