How to find your size of a wetsuit?
1. To
select the correct wetsuit size, you need to take the following measurements:
- Height.
- Chest
circumference.
- Waist
circumference.
- Hips circumference.
2. To make
your measurements as accurate as possible, follow these recommendations:
-
Measurements should be taken in underwear.
- It is
better to take measurements not on your own, but with someone else’s help, as
this will allow you to get a more correct result.
- At the
time of measurement, you must stand without tension, maintaining your usual
posture.
- The
measuring tape should fit snugly to the body along the line being measured, and
it should not be allowed to sag or tighten.
3. How to
take measurements correctly:
- Height.
Stand with your back to the wall, feet together. Straighten up. Your heels,
back, shoulders and head should be touching the wall. Tuck your chin in and
look straight ahead. Make a mark on the wall above your head with a pencil. Use
a measuring tape to measure the distance from the floor to the pencil mark.
- Chest
circumference. Place the measuring tape across the back of your shoulder
blades, across the armpits and across the nipple points at the front, making
sure the measuring tape runs exactly horizontally.
- Waist
circumference. Lay the measuring tape horizontally around your torso at the
waist line, taking into account the protrusion of your abdomen. The waist is
slightly below the level of the ribs and just above the navel.
- Hips circumference.
Place the measuring tape through the prominent points of the buttocks
horizontally around the torso.
4. Check
your measurements with the size chart.
