What is the rise, in inches, for size Large? I am tall waisted and the photo looks like the waist might not clear my hip bones.

I'm very high waisted also and the large sits up on my natural waist above my belly button. Do not know the rise off hand

If its too large it will go up. If its the right size for you and it will stay fit on your body than you will have no problems.

my waist is a 34 and I am wearing a 10 but it may have more to do with the hips

Hi Mona: It will slide up if you don't adjust the waist tight. An xlarge or large will fit a like from size 16 to 20, depend of the type of body. Hope this will help.

I've purchased these in 3 different colors (multicam, gray, and black). I'm 6'00" and have wear a 38x34 in regular jeans. These run true to size with length so definitely get the tall -as regular were perfect for me with where the double lined fabric is on the knees. As far as waist, the Large that I got are VERY snug, so for a 36 inch waist they would be perfect... I'd recommend you get the size: Large-Tall

They say you measure by "hip", but I have found them to be true to waist size. I wear a women's large pant and the large of these fits well.

Go by your hip size. You want a snug fit in your hips to give the lumbar the needed support. My waist is much smaller than my hips, I could not get the fit I needed by using my waist size.

I went by hip size because it has the straps that helps it fit to your waist. Also, this belt fits a little snug so it seems to run small. It fits great standing up. It gets snug when I try to sit down for a break in it. If its wrong exchange it. It will be worth the effort. I have this style and another very similiar to it and this has helped my back pain tremendously. I am able to do so much more when wearing it. Good luck.

I dont have it with me now to measure but with the walking boot that I wear, it was almost equal heights. Hope that helps till I can measure it exactly It does make you feel even with the boot on. I didn t feel the hip pains with it

went with what someone said, to go ONE SIZE UP!! because its more important to have this thing fit right towards the END than it is anywhere in the middle. trust me. It was my first tie buying this for my second baby and glad I went one size up because your body bloats and your hips get wide and yeah good luck!!

Mr. Smith needs to measure around his hips, not the waist. I have a 36" waist, but 42" around the hips. I ordered a large and it fit perfectly

I am 6ft and have a waist of 36'' and weigh 200lbs. I bought the large size and it fits loose but nice. I would get the med. size if I were you large would be way to long. The waist should still fit good. Hope that helps.,

Mid-rise I believe. TErminology might be different. I think of them as having a bit of a low waist. Fit a little below waist. Very comfortable for me.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

I am 5' 2" and 147 & I bought a size medium. Yes they are tight but that is what I wanted. Next time I would probably buy a large but I am happy with the medium as I was having hip pain and needed the support. Hope this info helps
