I am thinking about buying a pair of Endura theromlite ¾ knickers for the colder weather
I need some advice about sizing
I am about 6 foot 2” and a 37” waist and the Endura website says that that is Large
Evan cycles say that it is XL
I usually take an XL in other shorts that I have
Does anyone out there have some Endura shorts – how do they fit (compared to Endura size guide)

Thanks for your help.

    Well, I'm about 5'10" and I have about a 3233" waist and I'm an Endura L. I could probably get into M's, but my head might go purple.

    Compared to you, I'm a pigmy. XL at least I would have thought.

    You'll need an XL. Definately.

    The sizing on the Endura site is optimistic at best.

    Endura sizing is a bit random. i love their gear and have

    2 sets of MTB shorts, both medium: one is perfect, the other is mahoosive
    mt500 3/4 - small, i think, and they fit (although it's a bit of a squeeze)

    get yersefl into a bike shop and try before you buy.

    I'm 6,2" and 34 waste and XL fit me perfect.
  • Hi Jon,

    I'm 6ft 6 and 38-40 waist - I recently bought Endura Humvee shorts size XXL which are fine for me, so I reckon the XLs will be fine for your puny waist size.
