I am a perfect size 33''. Should I go to a 32'' or a 34''? If I went with a 32'', would there be room in the waist if I needed it?

I am also have a 33" waist, fairly thin (cyclist) build. I ordered the 32 and it was way too tight around the hips. The fabric stretches, so you could wear them, but I did not feel that they would be appropriate to wear to the gym due to the extra bulge in front. I returned and ordered the 34. A little big, but a much better fit around the hips. The drawstring keeps them from slipping down at the waist.

I bought these for my husband. He is a perfect size 31. I bought him a 30. His was a bit worried the first time he put them on but wears them all the time for Crossfit and Casually. So I'm guessing the size worked out great, otherwise they'd be folded away somewhere. The sizing recommends going down if your between sizes. It worked for him!

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 wear a 33 and sometimes 34 waist. I have a couple size Large zoot shorts and they fit nicely. They fit pretty snug - probably exactly the way most triathletes want them to. But all of my tri shorts seem to shrink a little over time. So I purchased the XL's for these and I am very happy with them. I would buy an XL again if I had to and I'm guessing that is probably what you should go for. I don't have any issues with any parts sagging or fitting loosely. Depending on your height you may want to go for a shorter inseam as these land an inch or 2 above my knee (just personal preference).

The first answer is helpful, HOWEVER, I am a 31" waist. The small fits too snug to wear comfortably, the medium was closer to the 35" mark and fit very loosely. Sizing is accurate, but do not order smaller if you are borderline.

I have a 42" waist and there is room to expand, appears to be quite versatile in the waist department, hope this helps. aloha, mikel

I have a 33-34 waist and the medium is pretty snug. Large would be advised for 36 waist.

I have a 32" waist and originally bought the small. The medium for me was the way to go. Plenty of room and I gave the small away. I would rather have a littler larger belt than too small. Buy the large and if its a hair too big it will still stick to the velcro.

It depends on how snug you want them. I'm a 33" and ordered the large. If I had to reorder, I would get an XL.

I ordered a small and it was to small. I have a 32 waist.I would say go a little larger than what you need. We worked things out and I got a medium which fit me fine.

Getting the exact measurements can be tricky. but a bit easier for taller inseams. I am 5'0'' ft and I can make it work with a 50 cm and that's pushing it. I looked at a bike tool for you and I would definitely go with the 54cm, because the bike seat can always be adjusted for a few inches. But if you feel its too small and you want something that might be really close to being to tall or uncomfortable go for the 58cm. Just remember comfort is a big deal when riding for miles. Hope it helps good luck.

I have a size medium as a size 32 waist. I think a 34 could fit in it as well. I would try a small if you like a tight fit.

I'm a 36 waist too and this is rather snug. It's bearable, but only for an hour or two until my back begins to hurt, so you may want to go a size up, depending on your intended use.

My waist is between 32 and 33. M fits but is a bit loose so I need to tighten up the belt. Surprisingly, S fits me too and also need to tighten the belt a little. So I don't know. Also, I notice the leg on the M is a bit baggy than the S. So I chose the S.

I, unfortunately wear a 36, so I ordered an XL the first time as I was afraid the large would be too small. As it was I ended up sending the XL back and getting the L which fit perfectly. If you wear a 33 I would order the Medium.

I have a 24 inch waist. I bought the medium. I think you should get the large or even the extra large, if they have it. Definitely the extra large, because there's enough to tighten as much as you need. Good luck!

There should be a waist size chart on the box itself. But 32-33 would most likely be a medium-sized. If you have doubts go to a sporting goods store look at their boxes for sizing and use that guide. But I would still get the shock dr. Over other protective gear.

Hi Paul, I where a 32-33 and purchase a 34 size. They fit great and have a draw string inside. If I got the 32 I was concerned that they would fit to snug. I'm happy with the 34. I purchased two pair. They also give real nicely with crossfit moves. Hope this helpsKind regardsBart

Get a medium. I have a 36 inch waist and wanted to get a large, but the medium fits perfect. I go three notches in out of eight
