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

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

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

I'm the same size as James, I have the shoulder straps at the top setting, but I'm long wasted, so it could work for you. I have a 32" waste and have almost all the slack taken out of the waste strap, so that shouldn't be a problem. I don't know my hip to shoulder measurement, but my pants inseam is 32" and I'm 5' 11" if that helps.

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.,

probably large so the top fits so that you can move comfortably. it will stretch to conform , so as not to be baggy hopefully. I buy medium, and could imagine someone taller than me feeling restricted -- also i like the legs to come down on my thighs a bit.

I have a 34" waist and bought the large. It fits well and there isn't too much extra room waist. There is a drawstring, but it isn't really that strong to keep the pants up, so fit is important. It does an Ok job of keeping the pants up. I think a large would be Ok and extra large might be too big.

Hi Daren, The "rule of Thumb" is to measure yourself while sitting down (outside hip to outside hip while sitting) then add one inch. which will allow for movement or bulky clothing. Please let us know if we can answer any more questions for you. Sincerely, George Callens MediDri

I'm not sure about the height being an issue but for me this dug into my hips horribly because it's all one width all the way around and not contoured around the hip area. I returned this after a day because it was so uncomfortable. Got an Upsie Belly at BBB and never looked back!

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

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 about a 34-35" waist and a large was huge. Wish I would have gotten a medium. Hopefully that helps you..

In a size 2, the rise to the waistband is 8 inches. They sit about 2 inches below the natural waistline.

Well not really too high.. I am 5.6 and it stayed kinda below my waist. So I think if you're 6.2 it should be just fine.

You should measure your waist. My waist was 42 inches when I started wearing it. And it fit just fine. But I'm not sure if your waist is larger than 42 inches if it will fit well or not.

If I'm measuring correctly, I coming up with a rise of about 10 inches. For me, the top of the waist come a fraction of an inch below my belly button.

I'm 5'1'' and weigh 118 and I ordered a medium, however, I don't like my clothing tight and these are plenty snug for me. Hips are 36" . I really like them, made well and comfortable .... well .. . as comfortable as bike shorts can be with all that padding!
