Would size 46 Tackla 9000's fit me?

[beanhead 22]

I am 5'6, 135lbs, 32in waist measured at the hip bones. If I reference the Tackla sizing chart, I am a 48. I am wondering if these would be too long for me, being only 5'6. Could I fit into a 46? Anyone wearing a 46 or a 48 willing to give me their measurements to help me decide which size to get?

I wore Tacklas in high school and liked the protection. I just can't remember what size I wore. That was over 20 years ago, and I gained 20lbs since then anyway.

I'm 5'7-1/2" / 33" waist and wear a 48. My waist has gone up and down from 32-34 and they always fit fine (maybe a bit snug when 34 lol).

I'm 5'7 32" waist used to wear tackla 951 sz48

Almost a perfect fit only issue I had was they were a tad too long. Reason being I've got shorter legs and longer torso. My current pants to compare fit perfect bauer one80 sz small which fit me perfectly. Length and width wise

Tackla offers +/- inseams, so you should be able to get shorter leg length if you need it. Can you try some on at your LHS? They would be able to order what you need.

I have not seen any in the smaller sizes at my LHS. I think I will have to mail order.
