I normally wear a 38 and like the fit to be slightly loose in the crotch and thigh area, also prefer shorts that stop at knee, these fit the bill?

The sizing is "generous" and should be loose. As to the length...well, it depends on how tall you are! I'm 5'6" and the shorts are just below my knees.

I was told to get the next size up which I did and I LOVE these...very comfortable, and glad I followed the advice.

Based on your preferences, I would have to say that you would not be happy with the Propper tactical shorts. I don't think they are overly tight in the crotch or thighs, but they aren't loose. I will say, at least for me they stop at the knee. Try some TruSpec brand and I think you will be pleased.

Most of the underarmour gear that you get especially these in particular should be around mid thigh to almost kneecap. that's how most spansex like that are, and or compression shorts.

Get medium. The shorts are fundamentally loose by design (they are running shorts after all). More often than not I've found that medium shorts are roomy enough, though it does vary some by manufacturer. Large feels like a kilt.

The shorts do run small so, I would go up 2 sizes. I know size 40 doesn't look good on that rear tag but you will enjoy the fit.

You're the same size as my husband. He says they fit perfectly. The best part is that the bike shorts underneath are completely separate from the shrts. You will like these.

I wear a 38 in jeans and ordered these in 38 and have a similar fit. It also has a little bit of elastic in the waist band if extra room is needed.

They run pretty true to size. The waist expands a few inches. If you like a snug fit, get a 36. I'm a 40 and I get a 38 waist. Get the length you are. If I get a wider waist, I get a shorter length because of the extra room in the rear end.

I wear a size 8 in regular pants, and the Size L fits a little bit loose on me. Also, the crotch is quite short, so I thought a medium might be a little restrictive for me.

I wear a size 4 or an XS in street clothing, but I wear an S in these shorts (and most sportswear). They fit me perfectly. So I'm guessing these shorts are probably a 4-6 and a medium would be an 8-10. If you get the right size, you will love them. My oldest pair is probably four years old and still looks new, despite being worn once a week all this time.

For 42, I did xxl and I had a very comfortable/loose fit. For length, you have specific length options.

I generally wear a waist size of 38 and went with 3xl for the bike shorts. The lycra liner seems a little loose but overall a pretty good fit.

They have an 8 inch inseam and come just above my knees. I'm 5'4 and wear a size 29/30 waist in jeans. The shorts have an elastic waist and draw string so you should be able to snug them around your waist.

I am 6' and about 190-200lbs. My waist is 32-34" with a 36" inseam. I got the XXL and I'm pretty happy. They could use another 0.5-1" in length, maybe, and I would be ok if they were a little less snug in the legs (but I usually have to get relaxed fit jeans). You would probably be ok with XXL or even XXXL.

sorry bud i'm not quite sure, I would just keep searching for like fighter trunks or jock strap shorts, something along those lines. Don't stop till your satisfied and good luck! ;)

I purchased my actual size and they sag down my knee...I would buy the tighter ones if I purchased them again....

I wear mine for sports and they fit fine. However, I went down a size from what I measured from the knee to ensure they would be tight for compression and wouldn't roll down.

My husband is a 34 waist and 34 inseam and these fit him perfectly with a little room to spare. I ordered him a large, so I would say you should be fine with a medium.
