Notes on sizing:
Patagonia uses a 3-Letter sizing system. The first letter is the overall size, the second letter is the inseam, and the third is the neoprene bootie size.
The overall size letter corresponds to the “largest girth” which is either hips, belly or chest. For most men it is your belly or chest. You can measure this with a flexible tape measure. Girth in a Small is 37″, Medium is 40″, Large is 44″, XL is 48″ and 2XL is 52″.
Inseams are Short is 30″, Regular is 32″ and long is 34″.
Neoprene Bootie Size: Small is shoe size 6-8, Medium 9-11, Large 12-14.
For instance, a LRM is an overall large wader (44″ largest girth), with a Regular inseam (32″), and a medium bootie (fits shoe sizes 9-11).
