Does Quiksilver run big or small?
Quiksilver fits true to size. Take your usual size for a comfortable surf-casual fit, and size down one if you want anything close to a slim or trim silhouette. Most shoppers report Quiksilver runs true to size but cuts on the generous, easygoing side, so the same size feels roomier than in slimmer European or fashion-oriented brands.
