HOW TO MEASURE
|
|
In all instances, hold tape firm and level, but not tight. |
| Head |
Using a flexible/soft tape measure, start 1" above the ear. Follow around head staying 1" above the ear. This will give your most accurate reading. Then refer to the chart for size. |
| Neck |
Wrap tape around to the base of your front neck and allow room for wearing comfort OR measure the collar length of a favourite shirt. |
| Sleeve | From the centre back of your neck with your arm slightly bent, follow the tape around to your wrist bone. |
| Chest | Wrap a tape measure evenly around the fullest part under your arms. |
| Waist | Wrap a tape around your natural waistline, or where you actually wear your trousers. |
| Seat/Hip |
Standing with your feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hip (approx. 7-8" below the waist). Don’t forget to keep the tape level. |
| Inseam |
Best taken from an existing pair of trousers you like. Measure along the garment inseam from the crotch seam to the hem. |
| Glove |
Measure all the way around the flat part of your hand, excluding the thumb, and around the widest part at the knuckles. Refer to sizing on product page to convert this measurement in inches to your corresponding glove size. |
| Waders |
In general, waders have a looser, roomier fit than normal apparel. They should have enough room to allow you to layer up in cold weather and move comfortably in and out of water. |
