Most returns in sportswear are about size, not quality. Five minutes with a tape measure saves you a trip to the post office.
What to measure
- Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms, tape level.
- Waist: at the natural waistline, the narrowest part of the torso.
- Hips: around the fullest part of the seat.
- Inseam: from the crotch to the ankle, best measured on a pair of pants that fits you well.
Measure over thin underwear and don't pull the tape tight. Write the numbers down: you will use them again.
Reading the fit
Every product page says how a piece is cut. Compression and training tops are close to the body: if you are between sizes, take the larger one. Regular fit has room for a base layer. Outer jackets like the Storm Shell are cut to go over a fleece, so take your usual size.
Shoes
Our shoes use US sizes. Measure your foot in the evening, heel against a wall, from the wall to the tip of the longest toe, and add about half an inch (1-1.5 cm) for running shoes: feet swell on long runs and toes need room on descents.
- Road running: half a size up from your casual shoes is normal.
- Trail shoes: the same or half a size up; a snug heel matters more than length.
- Football boots: a close fit, no more than a finger's width in front of the toes.
Still not sure?
Order the size the chart suggests. If it doesn't fit, exchanges and returns within 30 days are free, and the new size ships as soon as we receive the first pair. Details are on the shipping and returns page.
