I wear a 38 waist pants. Being right at the edge of the med/large sizes, which would be the better option? Does the large tighten to less than 39"?

Get the smaller size. The larger doesn't get smaller than the range but the smaller size can get larger. I'm a 31"-32" and made the mistake of ordering a medium. Should have ordered the small.

The belt definitely runs large. The large will tighten down well past a 39,but you'll have more than a foot of tag to contend with.

I can't say for sure but I can tell you how mine fits. I have a 38 inch waist and the large belt is plenty big. I could easily be 4" wider in girth and still use the large. Does that help? My uneducated guess is that the XL would work for you.

Robin, I ordered a extra large for a 46" waist and it seems to be a little small. If I were you I would go for a medium. You can always pull it tighter.........

Hi!My waist size is 30, small fits me fine; I would say for 38 waist, perhaps medium.Best wishes...

I wear a 34 waist 30 inseam and I ordered the Medium regular and they fit just a little big. They are actually a little long but not enough to be a problem and I pull the draw straps on the waist pretty tight so I think a medium regular would be a good fit for your dimensions. Great pants. I wear them for work as a service manager/technician in an Evinrude dealership and they have held up to grease, gasoline, oil, battery acid, bay mud and salt water pretty well so far!

I have a 24 inch waist. I bought the medium. I think you should get the large or even the extra large, if they have it. Definitely the extra large, because there's enough to tighten as much as you need. Good luck!

I would recommend an x-large. My husband also has a 38" in waist and it fit him perfect. The brace is very good and would highly recommend it. I also have a medium and wear it for riding my motor cycle and lawn

My husband wears a 37 waist pant and they fit him well. The large would be too loose.

Possibly the smaller. I am 5.2 and 140 and I use the 42 inch. It seemed big at first but the larger size makes it easier to keep going. I have lost several inches from my waist .

If I were you I would get the large. That's what I got and you can still tighten it. It works fine. I use it often and it helps my hip and lower back as well.

I got a large and I am around 38-40 waist area and it works fine.. you want some gap in the center to access the buckle and remember any molle pouches you put up in the very front needs to not hang low or you will be hitting it as you walk. So keep that in mind with your pouch layout and purchase.

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.

Go by chest meas. They seem to run slightly small, My chest is actually 39" and I ordered the Med. which fits a 38" chest. It works ok for me, but could probably have gotten the large instead. You want them to fit snug to hold the weapon in place with no shifting around.

I have a 34" waist and have the medium belt, which at times I feel like the small might have been a better chose. So I think the medium would be about right since I always tighten it down to get support.

I got the large and my son is a 34-36 waist. Another thing you might want to know is they are gathered and a little full looking, but if the XL is too big you can exchange, but I would do the XL for 38 to be comfortable. JMHO.

I would recommend the regular. My son is a 28x30 and we got the small regular. There is Velcro at the waist to tighten. The pants really look good.

I wear a 38 and ordered a large which fits, but tends to be snug in the waist. If you are closer to 40, a size larger will be more comfortable.
