I bought the XL based on what other people said they wear. I'm 5ft 7 1/2" and wear a 12/14 and up in some pants. I wear a size 14 comfortably in Eddie Bauer of a similar guy. I can go for a size 12 but they are a bit small, if I plan on sitting a lot. Hope this helps. Size XL was too long in the crotch and there was too much fabric in the bottom. The waist is too big. I will never need an elastic. With the strap that comes with them, they serve my purpose. The only thing that bothers me if I buy a smaller size is the zippered leg zipper.The zipper doesn't open and if your feet are like mine you may find it uncomfortable.Pants don't reach past the knee where the zipper is .Size XL above the knee fits me but don't want to go any smaller.Update: I wore them all day to an event and they were fine.I actually ordered another pair in a different color.Without the zips over the knees huh I ordered L.
