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.

My husband wears a 37 waist pant and they fit him well. The large would be too loose.

The length is a matter of personal preference. Personally, I like shorts that cover most of my thighs, rather than booty shorts, so I really like these. (As for size, I'd say either large or extra-large. It depends on how you're built.)

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.

These shorts have a 9.5" inseam which fit me just above the knee when standing as in the picture representation. I live in a subtropical climate and this shorter leg length makes them a little cooler to wear and a little more maneuverable during outdoor activities. If you are well over 6' and not OK with this above the knee fit and length, or desire a longer more covered leg area, I know 5.11 make a 11" inseam in this TacLite short which may work out better for you. Hope this helps!

If you wear hip protection I would recommend a medium.... I'm 5'10 36-38 waist and I wear poc vpd hip protectors and the Large fits perfectly. So logically if I were you I would go with the Medium. The shorts have velcor adjustments at the hips so if the medium is a little loose you can tighten it up easy. I used these shorts all last season and they are very high quality. I'm very happy with them

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

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.

I found the tightest fitting part of these thermals was the calves. The waist actually fit my 38" comfortably with room around the hips for my standard issue under-roos.

I'm a 36" waist and the shorts fit me just fine. I have a trim physique so I'm not sure if that would matter.

You will probably be okay with the small unless you are a bigger guy. I am a large stature runner with large thighs and gluted so I have to buy up one size in most brands of running shorts.

I think so. I'm 5'6 and 145 and the large is fine. I prefer loose fitting shorts.

They are pretty true to size. I would order a 33". They have a draw string to make them tighter. I purchased a 38" and have recently dropped one waist size to a 36", I'm still able to wear them and make them tighter. These shorts are really comfortable.

I have a 33-inch waist and the medium fits very well. I imagine that they would still fit if I were a 34, but I think they would be slightly tight.

They should not be to loose either. If your legs are thick then XXL but then waist might be to big. See my other note.

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.
