OK.... everything for guys that I've ever brought off of Amazon (not amazon's fault) that says XL is way too small. I'm not a big guy in the hips and butt, 5'10" 180lbs. These are no exception. My question is who are these companies basing XL men on? Anyways, if you don't mind your legs having the circulation cut off, or your waist getting cut into, by all means buy these. Otherwise look elsewhere.
