Unfortunately the only Companies that produce Men's Swim trunks, Sneakers, and Woman's Full Body Swim Suits are in China, so the biggest disadvantage is delivery time. I have a 45" waist and the 2XL fit me perfectly. I really like the way they did these trunks, they are well made and have two pockets on either side (a plus). So if you don't mind the wait these are defiantly a very good option, and that is why I gave them only 4 stars.
