I have a 30-32 inch waist depending on how bad my week was (;P) and I bought a small. It has about an inch short of touching one end to the other on me. For a 36" waist, if you want to be able to put stuff very close to your front I'd recommend a large (that's great for, say pistol mags on your strong side). If you really only want this to carry rifle mags on one side and a pistol on the other with maybe a rear dump pouch, medium might give you more leeway (but will probably deny you front real estate). I vote medium but i haven't seen one in-person. FYI the sides are 6 loops wide which equated to a quadruple 2x2 ar mag pouch plus a useless (because my rifle blocked it) 2x1 (2 wide) pistol pouch on the left. I mounted another 2x1 pistol mag carrier on the right along with my holster. Personally I say skip the whole thing and get a drop-leg mag carrier (ie Costa HSGI leg rig) and belt holster (having owned a plate carrier, battle belt, and multiple pouch/holster setups). It works perfectly with a PC (might need a drop leg pistol depending on your sides). Just keep those drop-legs as high as possible. The whole point is to clear your 'gear' which basically means plate carrier in this instance. Good luck.

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'm also a 36" waist, and I ordered the XL. It does have about 4" of loose belt after I cinch it up. I currently double the loose piece over and tuck the end to the buckle. However it could easily be trimmed, and then heat the end to prevent fraying, quite easily.

I have a 34 waist and the belt will adjust either way to fit waist sizes smaller or larger than mine. Hope this helps.

s=28~30", m=32-34",l=36-38",xl=40-42", 2xl=44-46", 3xl=48-50", 4xl=52-54". now i have a 34" waist, i bought the m size, and only have 1" of belt left over thru buckle, i would like a little more so the end tucks into the belt loop, i would choose one size larger if thats what you like also, if you dont like anything haging out of the buckle then choose your waist size and order that one. hope that helps.

I think it depends upon how much extra length you want past the buckle. With a medium (32-34) I have about 3 1/2 inches past the buckle with a waist between 32 and 33. That is more that sufficient for me.

The belt is adjustable, however; I feel as though this belt is best suited for someone sized 36 - 40.

For someone with a waist this size the belt you want will be a size Large which is 48 inches long. The belts run a little small. I have a 32-34 inch waist and the Large fits perfect.

Finding one with a large waist belt is not easy to do. You have to ask the vendor if he can provide you with one. Mine came with a medium. I have a 46" waist. The medium will do me for now as it does easily go around me, but I would definitely prefer to find a size large.

I wear a 36" waist and I bought an extra large. Note that the waist does have elastic AND a Velcro belt. All sizes should fit a wide range.

Shock Doctor website states medium is for waist 30-34 and large is from 34-37 so should be safe with either.

You will want a Large, which is for size 36/38 according to the size charge that came with the belt.

I purchased the Large size and they fit perfect. I am a 40 waist/32 in-seam, the length is a little long but manageable. As for the medium size I am not sure.

I have a 34-36" waist depending on the clothing I wear. I took up all the slack in the web belt. It will just barely fit comfortably. Bottom Line: Way too much belt. It just isn't sized for a small to medium waist. The pouch itself is great!

My waist is 35 inches and I bought a Large which fits very comfortably loose (which I prefer in workout and running clothes). Since there is a drawstring, you can probably go with Medium or Large depending on how tight or loose you prefer workout/running clothes.

I can't remember if I purchased the large or the medium. I know my waist size is 33 and the belt is the same length as the 5:11 trainer belt that I purchased which was a large and fits sizes 36-38
