It's for endurance/larger riders, and the XL is 36-38" waist, with XLG going to 40" and TIR going to 42". They are expensive, seriously expensive, but . . . well, I think they're easily worth it.

Here's a link. You can find them for closer to 180-190 if you look. I will say I don't much care on 20 mile rides, but by mile 40, I'm glad I'm not wearing my Sugoi or PI nonsense, and by mile 60-80, well, the difference is awesome. Lots of other brands use the same Chamois, and if you have a particularly long torso the Assos will pull on your shoulders a tiny bit, so you might want to look around.

Where are you finding these for 180-190? No way I'm going to 240!
