I am a 38 waist. Do these run true to size or are they a little snug. I am thinking of ordering the xl. Opinion?

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 got them in a 38 and they were a little small, all my other shorts ( the same size ) fit quite a bit looser. So for bigger guys i might go a size bigger.

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.

I have a 34 waist and ordered an xxl - fits good. The waist has both a drew string and elastic - it could easily expand out to 36 - 38, so I suspect you will have no problem with XXXL. Happy riding

Hello. I hope this helps. I ordered the size Large for my 33 waist and there is about 4 to 5 inches of belt left. If an xl length is available I would buy that one.

I ordered a size up and the waist was a little big, especially as I began to wear them more. They stetched somewhat. They still fit, but I definitely need a belt. If I had the chance to order again, I would go with the normal size (knowing they would be a little tight at first). Hope that helps!

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

No order xxL !! I have 36'' waist and xxl fits perfectly. The xxl can fit 37 I believe, not sure about 38'. But xxxl can be too big.

I am a 38 inch waist and the xl was good for me. I only had to trim a little bit then just use a lighter to reseal the end. Hope this helps.

The first answer is helpful, HOWEVER, I am a 31" waist. The small fits too snug to wear comfortably, the medium was closer to the 35" mark and fit very loosely. Sizing is accurate, but do not order smaller if you are borderline.

I have a 38" waist and ordered large, which are fine for me. I think for a 36" you might want medium. They have an elastic waistband so they are pretty adaptable.Tom

I bought a XL and have a 36 waist it was tight then I got a XXL and it seemed the same as XL. They seem to run small

I wear a 38 and ordered a large which fits, but tends to be snug in the waist. If you are closer to 40, a size larger will be more comfortable.

I'm about a 32 waist, the x-large is good. You might want the xx-large but they might be to long. The seller was fast and pleasant about returns,

Thanks Martha. I like my clothes loose so cinch my jeans down to a 36/37. Do you think the XL is still the right size? What about length? Terry
