01 How to measure
Measure over light clothing, keep the tape level and snug, and write the numbers down. Check them against the measurements on each product page rather than guessing from the label.
Chest
Around the fullest part of the chest, under the arms, with the tape level across the back.
Waist
Around the narrowest part of the waist, with the tape level and snug, not tight.
Inside leg
From the crotch to the top of the boot, standing straight with your feet together.
Foot length
Stand on a sheet of paper, mark the heel and the longest toe, then measure between the marks.
02 Jackets and trousers
The same chest and waist measurements choose a jacket and trousers, but the fit around them matters as much as the number.
Jackets and tops
Chest first
Start with your chest measurement and the size that matches it, then check the fit notes on the product page.
Layers
If you wear a mid layer under a shell, check the fit with that layer on.
Arms
Reach forward and up: the cuff should stay over the wrist and the shoulders should not pull.
Between sizes
Size up for layering, or down for a closer fit.
Trousers
Waist and seat
Sit, stand and bend. The waistband should stay put without a belt.
Inside leg
Check the length with the boots you will walk in, not shoes.
Knees
Look for a cut that lets the knee bend without the fabric pulling.
Between sizes
Size up if you wear a liner or thick socks.
03 Boots
Boot sizes vary between makers and lasts. Measure your foot, then try the boot with the socks you will walk in and check the fit on the kind of ground you walk.
Foot length
Measure both feet, standing, and use the longer one.
Socks
Try boots with the socks you will walk in, including the thick socks you use in winter.
Toe room
Leave a little room at the front so the toes do not jam on a descent.
Heel
Lace up and walk: the heel should stay in place without lifting.
Between sizes
Size up for thick socks or a wider foot, and check the fit notes for that boot.
