I think I gave these to charity. They were too large or saggy on butt for me. If you have a 44 waist and average to smaller bottom, buy the large, because those fit perfectly and snug as a bug in a rug, but not toooo snug. They will hold the junk in the truck without suffocation or strangulation ;)  But the saggy x-large will crawl up the crack.. Say NO to crack! Unless you like pulling them out every time you squat. If you have a very large bottom, the X-lg may fit snugly for a 44" waist.
