Size Guide

Measure over the layers you actually wear. If you are between sizes, size down for sport climbing and up for alpine use, where you will be wearing more underneath.

How to measure

  • Waist (harness): around your body just above the hip bones, not on your trouser waistband. The harness sits on your skeleton, not your waistline
  • Leg loop: around the fullest part of your upper thigh
  • Chest: under the arms, across the fullest part, tape level and not pulled tight
  • Torso (pack): from the bony bump at the base of your neck down to the level of the top of your hip bones

The fit test. Done up, you should not be able to pull the waistbelt down over your hips, and you should be able to get a flat hand — but not a fist — between the belt and your body. If the buckle ends up within 8 cm of the end of the webbing, size up.

Pack fit is set by torso length, not height. Load the pack with roughly what you will carry before you judge it — an empty pack tells you nothing.

Shells are cut to go over a midlayer without you sizing up. Down pieces are cut as belay layers and will fit over a shell.

Still not sure?

Send us your measurements and what you are planning to use it for. A person who climbs will answer, and we would much rather spend five minutes on that than process a return — particularly on life-safety gear, which cannot be returned once used.
