The waist of these pants is simple elastic with a wide range. Below is a chart we put together that shows the range of stretch from “lightly stretched” to “fully stretched”. The middle of each range seems to correspond to what you would expect for normal men’s clothing sizes. I’d advise you to choose the size that puts you squarely in the middle of the range (which most probably is the same size you wear in men’s clothing).
| Pant Size | Measured Waist Range |
|---|---|
| XS | 24-36 |
| Small | 26-38 |
| Medium | 28-40 |
| Large | 30-42 |
| XL | 32-44 |
| XXL | 34-46 |
| XXXL | 36-48 |
