How to Measure

1. Chest: Measure around the fullest part of the athlete’s chest, arms down while taking a deep breath, keeping the measuring tape horizontal. 2. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of the waist (typically where your body bends side to side), keeping the tape horizontal. 3. Hip: Measure around the fullest part of the buttocks, feet together, keeping the tape horizontal. 4. Torso: Measure from the center of the shoulder, down the torso, through legs, and back to the shoulder. This is the most important measurement. 5. Inseam: Measure from the crotch to one inch above the floor, without wearing shoes. |
