MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS

1.Have someone measure you, never measure yourself.

2.Keep the measuring tape snug to the body, but not too tight. Do not add to measurements nor "ease" or for comfort, as the desired fit will determine that.

3.Take all measurements with the intended clothing or protective gear you plan to wear under your leathers. If you do not have your back pad, let us know what kind you will wear and we will make allowances.
