I have been wearing mine on and off the bike throughout the summer. I think they are a really good design. (Maybe a bit too warm on very hot days, but great the rest of the time.)
Somebody should snap them up at that price!

Can't fault them (though I find the popper a bit keen to 'pop') – if they still fitted I'd be keeping them.

On the Endura sizing chart XXL is reckoned to be 39 to 41" – but to be honest because the Humvees have an elasticated waist band and a belt and are supposed to be baggies they fit smaller waists – I was about 38" and am now 32" and I could still just about wear them. Safest bet would be to try a pair on (and of course by something else from the shop).

I am now a 35 inch waist and find the XXL a comfortable fit. Yes, you could stretch the elasticated waist by 4 or 5 inches, but I wouldn't fancy having a tight waistband while riding. I would say 32-36 inches in comfort.

I just took a tape measure to mine ...
The waistband is 34 inches unstretched, therefore I stretch it by an inch or so, which is ok - it leaves a mark round my waist but does not feel like it is strangling it!
Pulling very hard on the waistband, it is possible to stretch it to 41 inches, but no way would that have suited me when I was that size!
Below 34 inches, you would need to use the integrated belt to keep the shorts up.

Endura's actual sizing does seem a bit weird – as Compo said cycle sizing is meaningless.
