what size for 31" waist?

If you want true compression with 31" waist, small. I'm 32 with a tape measure and have the small size. I do prefer to roll the waistband down when wearing them.

They are sized correctly. If you are an I'm between size I would go down as you want maximum compression. Hope that helps

I (33 waist 6'3) actually have a large pair and they fit well without tying the string, even after months of regular use. Medium should be fine unless you want them to be noticeably tight.

I think my 34 x 36 pair fit about right in the waist and quite a bit longer. But, long is good when you have trouble finding tall sizes.

I would go with the medium. I have a 34 waist and the large was just right. the length should not be an issue due to the elastic binding at the ankles.

I have a 36" waist and bought the XL. If anything it's a HAIR too big, so I suspect the XL would be a perfect fit for your man.

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.

I'm pretty sure a s/m should fit a 34" waist, I bought the l/xl with a 38 inch waist and I think it would go as small as a 36 inch. But that would be pushing it,any smaller and it would not be tight enough for support. I hope I was able to help, but it's really hard to tell without actually trying the belt on.

I wear pants with a size 33 or 34 inch waist. I bought the Large sized and they fit perfectly.

My waist size is 30- meaning some times when I am buying pants I will need to get a 29 if available. I ordered the M and it works for me, but I have too much belt left over. Sometimes I am tightening it up in the gym. I would go with the S.

I wear a large for size 36 (waist). I would order a medium for a 32 (waist)

I have a 34" waist too and purchased a Large belt. For what I need, it is ok. If I were to buy it again, I would consider (though not sure) an XL, but not a Medium. I hope this helps.

Jack,I am a 32" waist.I bought a medium.I have the shorts adjusted to the smallest possible fit.To me,it seems the adjustable straps on the sides would go up to a 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.

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 am probably closer to 35" waist and the Medium fits well - you should have some wiggle room
