Buying for a gangly and growing teenage boy. Currently, 5' 9" and 125 lbs with a 28" waist. Should I buy xs or s?

Small at a minimum. Medium maybe if he's still growing. They run a little small.

Check out the link to revgear's site: http://www.revgear.com/product/defender-gel-shin/shin_guardsUnder the image there is a link that says "size chart" on there it says XS for 11.5" shin, and S for 12.5". I recommend the Small, as he is a growing lad :-)I hope that helped. Osu!

XS for sure - I'm the same height as you and around 105lbs...the XS is a little bit big on me, though I think the height is perfect. I've found it stretches slightly with wear as well.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

If it's a normal fit and not compression I'd go with XXL. It also depends if he likes his shirts tight fitting. See I do not.

Hi sorry I took so long to get to you I am 5'9" and weigh 186 I purchased the large I like how it fits it's just a little too short for me and a got a little snug after washing ( I throw them in the washer) I'd say get the x-large for him since men I think won't like snug fitting stuff, and if he can he should wear something underneath just because of the sweating

I would suggest a tall large. I am 5"10 and a regular large is perfect. Be safe rather than sorry go for the tall.

I can tell you this: my waist can vary between 34-36 inches, and I normally wear a large. However, I purchased a Medium in these shorts, and I am glad I did not get anything larger. So, you might actually be able to wear an XS as crazy as that sounds, but the Small would probably be your safer bet. Hope that helps.

Definitely XS! I got a S and I'm 5'7 120lbs and the S fits well, not loose, but not super tight either.

Depends on your age, whether you're done growing, and how serious you are about lifting. Sounds like you might be under 18 with a waist that thin, if you are I'd go with the Medium, especially if you're planning to continue lifting.

I would recommend an x-large. My husband also has a 38" in waist and it fit him perfect. The brace is very good and would highly recommend it. I also have a medium and wear it for riding my motor cycle and lawn mower.

S size is good. I'm a male 5'5" 132lbs. I purchased XS size, but that's a little bit small.

i would suggest the size of his waist. I'm a 36/32 and I got a Xlarge and they fit me fine.

I'm about a 32 waist, the x-large is good. You might want the xx-large but they might be to long. The seller was fast and pleasant about returns,

Since this item costs a considerable amount, I'd go with the 158lb & up. It will take you a while to get used to them and you'll have them for years to come. My son is 6'2" and 147 pounds and wears/plays with his periodically and has no complaints. Plus, his heavier friends can use them without concern of overweight limits and breaking.

xs. they need to fit tight for the compression effects. a s would be to big on you.

I would go with a large. A medium would probably be really tight to were it would be uncomfortable. Unless that's he wants to wear them.
