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.

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

You'll want the small. My knee is the same measurement and the smalls are perfect. They are tight but not too constrictive, and really, the last thing you want is them to be sliding down your leg!

I wear a 32-34 and I bought the large. They have a semi-adjustable, slightly elastic waistband as well

The leg openings are fitting. I have thick thighs and they fit me well. the material moves with you. I am an adventure /hiking person and love these shorts.

My waist size is 38 and I purchased the XL sized running shorts. Hope this helps.

I have a 31" waist and the M (Medium) fits me well (tight as bike shorts should be). If I were you, I would order the Small.

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!

I wear a 34 waist 30 inseam and I ordered the Medium regular and they fit just a little big. They are actually a little long but not enough to be a problem and I pull the draw straps on the waist pretty tight so I think a medium regular would be a good fit for your dimensions. Great pants. I wear them for work as a service manager/technician in an Evinrude dealership and they have held up to grease, gasoline, oil, battery acid, bay mud and salt water pretty well so far!

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 have a 35 waist and bought XL. They fit well. My legs are not thin, probably medium to above average.

I'm 5'3 and 128 lbs and I ordered the medium and the shorts fit fine; not too loose or too tight. I would go with the small.

These shorts run small, a large should be good but it also depends on your physique and the way you wear clothes

Sorry, I read your info wrong. However, I went from a 36 to a 33-34 and these shorts are one material and the Velcro makes up the flexible size you'll need. I will say a 30 in this short will definitely work.

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.

I'm 5'4" @160. Wear the medium. But still have trouble keeping the knee area actually over my knees as they tend to want to slide down... But small would be far to snug for me.

I ordered several pair of these running shorts and they are my favorite ones. Medium for me and I wear 33 or 34 waist pants.
