I'd say closer to 38. i wear a 36, and they were a little loose on me. But, Great pants. light,but not flimsy,and fast drying.

I wear a 32" Levi's for reference. I got the large and they fit just as I want. However, they have a lot of elastic and adjustable velcro tabs on the side that can make them tighter so I think large could work for everything from 30" to 35". My point is that you can be a little off and they should be fine, but you should probably be looking at the xl.

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,

My waist is 38" and I ordered 36-42. It fits well. If you have a LARGE belly you might want to measure above your navel an order to fit that size.

I have a 40 inch waist and the large is big on me so if I were you I would go with the medium.

I would guess that a 42 waist equates to an extra large. The medium I ordered ran from 32 to 34 and felt overly baggy but appropriate to the purpose intended: hiking In a jungle habitat.

After reading the review of someone who wears a 32 and said a large was fine for him, I ordered my husband who wears a 38 both the large and the extra large. He chose to keep the large. He has not tried them on over jeans and I think the size 32 said perfect over jeans.

If you have size 38 jeans, (Which I happen to have also) the large will work just fine! It does for me, anyway!

I got the large and my son is a 34-36 waist. Another thing you might want to know is they are gathered and a little full looking, but if the XL is too big you can exchange, but I would do the XL for 38 to be comfortable. JMHO.

I have a 35 waist and the large fits good. It would probably also fit a 34 waist.

The package for size L says 38-49". I don't know how accurate that is because I gave them away--we use the fit flex depends (that package says 38-50" which works well for my wife's 38" waist). What I would do on Amazon if there are doubts is order a small pack of each of two sizes and return what doesn't fit. Or, search on the web for free samples.

my waist measures 36 and the XL was too Large for me so I sent it back. But have been thinking of getting Large. good luck let me know what your decide.

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..........

They are close. I bought them for my grandson who likes his clothes loose. He would normally wear a medium but is quite comfortable in this large.
