While individual brands of body protectors may vary slightly in measurements and fit, the following are some basic pointers about the general fit of a body protector. Body protectors should be fitted over light clothing, heavier garments and outerwear should be worn on top. Take measurements of your chest, waist, back length, and over your shoulder (waist-to-waist) and then refer to size charts of specific brands and styles. Before trying on what you feel will be the correct size, loosen the chest and waist fasteners and flex the body protector to loosen the foam. Once on, fasten the chest and waist ensuring a snug fit and make sure there is still room within the fasteners for further adjustment. With the body protector fit securely around your chest and waist, begin to choose the length appropriate for your height. The shoulders and neckline should lie flat against your body; if this cannot be achieved then you may need a shorter length. Check the back length by sitting in a saddle (if possible) and simulating all riding positions. There should be approximately a hand's width between the saddle and the base of the body protector in the back. At the front, the body protector should reach your breastbone and cover your bottom rib at mid-chest level.

For individual size charts and meaurements, please refer to the "Size Guide" link that appears on the product page.

I LOVE this vest! At first I looked at it and thought it didnt look comfortable at all, but when I tried it on it molded to my body. I would highly recommed this. It is the most comfortable vest you wil find and lasts long too. And it's ceritified. Many of the certified vests are very uncomfortable, but this on is so comfortable I sometimes forget I am even wearing it.

I highly recommend this vest because I had gotten the Tipperary and a staff member had pointed out to me that it is no longer certified for sanctioned events. But I was directed to this one and it mold perfectly to my body and fits well. Also while I was able to fit into a Tipperary S, I fit into a Charles Owen Child's XL saving me about $50. :)
