Turnout Gear Measuring Guide

 1. CHEST

Measure at chest, just below armpits. Bigger is usually better for fit and comfort. Even numbered sizes only (32", 34", etc.) When ordering general sizes, you will receive chest size pertaining to size charts (See sizing chart pages). For general sizing, the larger of the two numbers in each category is manufactured.

2. SLEEVE

Measure sleeve lengths from the middle of the back from the vertebrae at the base of the neck, over the shoulder and down to the base of the thumb. Longer is usually recommended for better protection. Do not bend arm. If not standard size, an additional “custom” sleeve length charge will apply.

3. WAIST

Waist is measured at the point where pants will be worn. Add 6" for pants onto normal waist size. Bigger is usually better for fit and comfort. When ordering general sizes, you will receive a waist size pertaining to the size charts. For general sizing, the larger of the two numbers in each category is manufactured. The inside of the pants, at the waist, will measure the dimension you place on the order. Even numbered sizes only (32", 34", etc.)

4. INSEAM

Inseam is measured well up in the crotch area to that point on the foot that is required. Choose a shorter length than you usually wear for better fit and comfort. Standard inseam is 28" 30". This is appropriate for anyone between 5'9" and 6'2". For inseams 33" to 36", add 10%, 37" and up, add 20% to shell and liner.

5. HIPS (Ladies Only)

Measure hips at widest point.

6. SUSPENDERS (Measuring Instructions Not Shown)

Suspenders are measured from the rear suspender post over the top of the shoulder to the front suspender post. Correct rise pants and rear bib size need to be used
