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.
