Actually true to size

By mrh Ranked #287 - Men's Casual Shorts September 26, 2008

The 32 I received had a 33 inch waist, which is perfectly reasonable breathing room. In true cargo style, they were by no means form fitting either. Some things are relative (like someone's assessment of themselves as a "skinny guy"), but the measuring tape I used to measure the waist of these shorts is standardized, so if you're in doubt, take your waist measurement before ordering.

but Backcountry.com has such a great shipping policy (free on most orders), and hassle-free returns and exchanges, I wouldn't sweat too much over any reviewer's assessment of sizing.
