Why are there discrepancies on which size to order. That seems to be the main subject of the reviews.

There are two issues in trying to find the right size. The first is that the listed sizes are for measurements about your hips and not around your waist as is usually the case with pants or underwear. The other is that the truss is elastic, which gets into personal preference -- do you prefer a snugger fit or a looser fit. Unfortunately this boils down to trial-and-error. I had to order once just to see if I'd guessed right and then ordered the one that gave the best fit.

If you read their chart and measure your hips instead of your waist- just like they tell you to do. Then the sizes are correct.I have 43" waste and I purchased the large(42-44"). It fits snugly, but if it were loose it would be worthless. It's snug and it gives me tremendous support and comfort. I love it! I just ordered a second truss and will ware this on any very active day or when I am feeling hernia pain until the day I finally have a hernia operation.

Mr Robert, I`ve just received the second one and the product itself it`s ok, I oredered small (my size) and it fits without a hitch. I had no issues with the size.

you'd have to talk to the seller about that. i bought two in different colors and got the free shipping so i didn't really pay attention to size when shipped. i'd also ordered other things. guess i'm confused of what information you want from me.

I Googled "hakama" and "sizes" and some size charts returned in the results. I am basically going off of the heights listed. I don't know how specific it would be to this company though.

I would like to buy your product but find amazon's sizing confusing / wrong. Please explain how size 1 can be xs, s, m, l , xl and then size 2 is xs , s, m, l ,xl , etc for each size.

And just what is a "tog rating"? I returned the one I ordered because they sent the wrong size. Several people had that problem.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, but try switching back to large and see if there is a difference.

I think they are all different so make sure you know the width when you order. They should all say.

I found some in consistencies while shopping at Amazon when it comes to sizes. Go to Balckhawk's website and find the correct size and then back to Amazon for your purchase.

something to do with sizing them. Go to their web site and search on sizesJA

I've never ordered through Amazon, but if you order through their own website, you get to specify exactly what you want. There is a lot of variation between the sizes, though, so it is hard to judge. If something's too big you can always cut it down. I've ordered all the sizes, but I've gotten some miniscule smalls, a slightly larger small, and another "small" that I would have considered medium... So it's really hard to judge!

You know, I'm really not sure! I would just assume it's showing the box the different sizes come in? Perhaps you should stick with the Large - it actually shows the picture of the stockings. Every time I bought some, I just clicked the Large!

Stay with your original size, You are playing a hit and miss game. I have tried two so far and neither one fit. Pisses me off.

I think this page has some significant errors on it. First of all, the larger size is half the price of the smaller size. And, as you already noted, the "small" version lists the larger version's complete measurements, and the "large" version lists the smaller version's measurements. Also the large model photo is completely different looking than the small model option. It is hard to order with confidence. Hopefully the vendor will see your question (and a similar one I posted), and clarify.

It is difficult to choose a size while ordering on the internet. I bought large and small to try them out.

The site from which you woule\\The site from which you would order the jacket lists the size of the jacket. I found that a seller ususally has one size which they describe in their listing so read carefully before ordering.

Make sure the description is the weight you want. I have purchased both size and have never had a problem getting the correct size. They may have just pulled a picture from the internet.
