My waist is a tweener, 38 is too small and 40 is too large. So elastic with drawstrings is a good solution. I got the XL, and they are OK, they don't fall down, but they are loose. Comfortable. Lightweight. Great for around the house and yard, but no back pockets means I have to carry my wallet in a front pocket, otherwise I'd give these a 5.
