These shorts are quite comfortable. I use them with riding jeans and/or riding cargo pants.
Make sure to get the cargo pants and jeans one size bigger than you usually wear to make room for these.
These shorts don't give me the impression of being particularly strong in the protection department (the tailbone padding is short, way up high and a bit useless where it is, the hip protection is a bit thin) but it's better than nothing and it's more comfortable than the padding that comes standards with Draggin Jeans and certainly better than nothing.
They seem to work fine in hot weather as well.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Spent 3 days in Death Valley and road 600 miles, 3/4 of that off road on a DR650. Shorts performed better than I hoped.
Very comfortable, fit great, feel nice!
Do your boys and cheeks a favor, pick up a set of the Klim Tactical Shorts

Not the protection I would like to have but they are comfortable enough that I will wear them.
The quality seems very good from my initial impression, and fit should not be a problem for almost anyone. I ordered medium for a 32 inch waist. They fit nicely but I can see them working for someone several inches larger.
I only wish they were less expensive since I want a couple of more.

Good fit and very comfortable - sizing spot on. Could be more protective pads on the side of the leg but pretty good coverage. Chamois promises long ride comfort. Recommended

Tried the klim tac shorts on under some riding pants. They fit with no problems and felt very comfortable during a short ride around the block.
The tac shorts are fairly thin, and flowed air well. The thicker foam pads seemed to be made of a fairly durable material, and on my drz400sm, the foam crotch pad is a welcome addition.

The Klim Tactical shorts are a great, low profile pair of armored shorts. The provide reasonable protection, but are invisible under jeans. They breath well, and the comfort seam on the leg keep them from riding up.
The padded seat is great for added comfort on the bike, but is uncomfortable while walking around.
The padding is non-removable. Whether the pads stand up to water/washing long term is yet to be seen.
As others have mentioned, the tailbone protector is small and might be a bit out of place. The other padding seems well placed.
If it weren't for the seat cushion, I'd say you could easily wear these all day. But, plan to bring a change of shorts if you're a commuter.

Answers

Answer: 
Based on the Klim size chart and the measurement that you provided we would recommend the size SM. If you are expecting your son to grow quickly, the MD may be a better choice since it will allow for some growth. Below you will find the recommendation from the Klim size chart:

XS: waist 24-27
S: waist 28-31
M: waist 32-35
L: waist 36-39
XL: waist 40-43
2XL: waist 44-47
3XL: waist 48-51
4XL: waist 52-55
5XL: waist 56-59
