1. Neck circumference – Men: Around neck, just below Adam's apple. You might add a little herefor comfort. |
2. Shoulder Width – Take your finger, and find the bone on the outside of your shoulder (about half way around your arm). Measure from the center of that bone to the same point on the other arm. Note: If you’re very thick, take this measurement to the widest part of your shoulders – not necessarily where the bone stops. |
3. Neck to waist: (front) – Measure from the hollow of your neck, to the string (top of navel). Note: Please, please, please! Get this right! Triple check this measurement! If it is too short, your suit WILL NOT FIT! |
4. Chest Circumference (Male) – Raise your arms, and put the tape around your chest, at its largest point. Breathe in, and then take the measurement. It is fairly important that you’re able to breathe when riding. |
4a. Bust Circumference (Female) – Raise arms and measure around chest with the tape passing directly over the nips. Breathe in, and then take the measurement. |
4b. Under Bust Circumference (Female) – Around chest with the tape passing just under the breasts. Breathe in, and then take the measurement. |
5. Waist Circumference – Measure around your waist and level across your back. Note: If you are thick through the middle, and the string is in a . . . valley (we’ll call it), take it from the thicker point so your waist isn’t too tight. |
6. Hips Circumference – Measure around the widest point of your hips and butt (typically around the point where your hip bone can be felt). |
7. Thigh Circumference – Measure around the widest part of your thighs, typically about 4 inches below your crotch. Measure both thighs in case of one being larger, and take the larger measurement. It would be a good idea to sit down and take this measurement, as your thigh tends to expand when sitting. |
8. Knee Circumference – With your knee straight, put the tape around your knee. Then bend your knee so your leg is in your typical riding position, allowing the tape to get longer. Take the largest measurement. |
9. Calves Circumference – While flexing your muscle, measure around thickest part of calf. Measure both calves in case of one being larger, and take the larger measurement. |
10. Ankle Circumference – Measure around your ankle, over the ankle bone. |
11. Sleeve Joint Circumference – Measure around where (tight) t-shirt sleeve joint would sit. (Note: the sleeve joint is the seam where the sleeve attaches to the main body of the t-shirt – aka – your armpit). Give yourself a touch of extra room here. |
12. Shoulder to Wrist – From top of shoulder bone to center of wrist bone. Note: You may measure longer or shorter here depending on where you prefer the sleeves on your suit to end.
|
13. Biceps (Flexed) Circumference – Measure around thickest part of flexed bicep. Measure both biceps in case of one being larger, and take the larger measurement. |
14. Elbow to Wrist – Bend arm. Measure outside of arm from the apex of your elbow to the wrist bone. Note: You may measure longer or shorter here depending on where you prefer the sleeves on your suit to end. |
15. Forearms (Flexed) Circumference - Around thickest part of flexed forearm. Measure both forearms in case of one being larger, and take the larger measurement. |
16. Wrist Circumference – Measure around your wrist over the wrist bone. |
17. Neck to Waist (Back) – From the string tied around waist to base of neck (where the vertebrae protrudes from spine.) If you have very thick shoulder muscles that go higher than this point, take from the highest point. Note: Please, please, please get this right! Triple check this measurement! If it is too short, your suit WILL NOT FIT! |
18. Neck to Ankle (Back) – Standing straight w/ feet together, measure from center of ankle bone to base of neck (where the vertebrae protrudes from spine.) Same rules as above. |
19. Waist to Ankle (Back) – Standing straight w/ feet together, measure from the string tied around waist to center of ankle bone. Make sure the string is straight around the waist. |
20. Crotch to Ankle – Measure inside of leg from Crotch (measure to your “junk”, not to the base of your leg) to center of ankle bone. |
21. Knee to Ankle – From center of knee cap, to center of ankle bone (note, don’t wrap the tape around your leg. Either measure in front to the level of the ankle bone, or on side to the level of the center of the knee cap). |
22. Total Height – Pretty self explanatory. How tall are you?
|
23. Crotch to Knee - Measure inside of leg from Crotch to the level of center of knee cap, |
24. Navel to Knee – From center of navel, to center of knee cap. |
25. Neck to Crotch (Front) – From neck in front (same place as usual) to your crotch (where you began your crotch to knee measurements). |
Neck to Crotch (Rear) – From neck in back (same place as usual) to your crotch (where you began your crotch to knee measurements). |
