Online measurement form

Stand barefoot on a hard floor, back against a wall, looking straight ahead. Have your helper mark the wall at the top of your head and measure from the floor to that mark. Don't look up or down. This is a sanity check — we cross-reference it against your other measurements to make sure everything adds up.

Find the bony bump where your neck meets your shoulders (vertebra prominens). Have your helper place the tape end there and run it straight down your back to the floor. Stand tall, don't slouch. This sets the overall suit length — if it's wrong, the suit will bunch at the ankles or pull at the crotch.

Start from the middle of your shoulder — halfway between your neck and the edge of your shoulder bone. Measure straight down to armpit level. Don't follow the curve of the shoulder — go vertically. This determines where the underarm gusset sits, which affects arm mobility underwater.

From the same neck base point as #1, measure down the spine to your natural waist. Keep your back straight. This measurement, combined with #7, helps us position the suit's waist and ensure the torso proportions are right.

From neck base, measure down the spine to the top of your hip bone (iliac crest — the bony point you can feel on the side). This determines where the suit's hip panel falls and affects how the suit drapes when you bend.

Find your natural waist — the narrowest part of your torso, usually just above the belly button. Measure straight down to the floor. This helps us proportion the upper and lower body of the suit correctly.

Have your helper stand behind you. Measure from the bony tip of one shoulder (acromion) to the other, across the back. The tape should follow the natural curve of your upper back, not pulled tight in a straight line. Too narrow and you won't be able to reach forward; too wide and the suit will have excess material bunching at the shoulders.

Arms straight down at your sides, relaxed. Measure from the bony tip of the shoulder (same point as #4) down the outside of the arm to the wrist bone. Don't bend the elbow. Measure both arms and use the longer one. This sets your sleeve length — critical for seal placement at the wrist.

This is your inseam. Place your hand flat, palm up, and push it snugly into your crotch — the tape starts from where your fingers meet the body. Measure straight down to the floor. Stand with feet about 30 cm apart. This is one of the most important measurements — it determines leg length and where the crotch seam sits. Too short and the suit restricts leg movement; too long and material bunches behind the knees.

Feel for the top of your kneecap. Start the tape just above it and measure straight down to the floor. This helps us position the knee articulation panel — pre-bent knees are built into quality drysuits for easier finning.

Start from your belly button, run the tape down between your legs, and up to the equivalent point on your lower back. For some people the belly button doesn't align with the natural curve-in point of the back — if so, use the middle of the small of your back as the end point. Keep the tape snug but comfortable. This sets the crotch depth of the suit.

Wrap the tape around the widest part of your chest, usually across the nipple line for men or the fullest part of the bust for women. Breathe normally — don't puff up or suck in. Slip one finger between the tape and your body. The chest is the widest part of the suit's torso and gets the most stress during arm movement, so this needs to be right.

Wrap the tape around your natural waist (narrowest part of torso), or around the widest part of your belly if that's larger. Be honest — the suit needs to fit the real you, not the gym-ready you. Slip one finger under the tape. We'll add room for your undersuit on top of this.

Wrap the tape around the widest point of your hips/buttocks, usually about 20 cm below the waist. This is often the widest point of the lower body. Slip one finger under the tape. The suit's hip area needs to be roomy enough for comfortable leg-lift when finning.

Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your upper arm, about halfway between elbow and shoulder. Arm relaxed and straight down — don't flex. Slip one finger under. Measure both arms, use the larger. This determines how much room is in the upper sleeve.

Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your forearm, usually about a third of the way down from the elbow. Arm straight, relaxed. Slip one finger under. Measure both, use the larger.

Wrap the tape snugly around the wrist bone — right where a watch sits. Do NOT add a finger for this one — the wrist seal needs to be tight against your skin to keep water out. This is a critical seal point, so measure to the millimetre. Measure BOTH wrists — they're often slightly different, and we'll cut each seal to match.

Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your thigh, usually right below the groin crease. Slip one finger under. This measurement determines the leg width at the top — too tight and you'll struggle to fin; too loose and air pockets form when diving.

Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your calf. Slip one finger under. Measure both, use the larger. This affects how the suit fits inside your boots and whether you can pull the legs on easily.

While seated, place two fingers flat on top of your leg at the crease where your thigh meets your torso (the hip joint crease). Start the tape immediately after those two fingers (toward the knee) and measure along the top of the thigh to the centre of the kneecap. This tells us how much length to allow for when you're in a seated/finning position — drysuits need extra material here compared to standing.

While seated at 90 degrees, wrap the tape around the knee, going through the centre of the kneecap. The knee is flexed, so this circumference will be larger than a standing knee measurement. Slip one finger under. This is critical for the knee articulation — the suit must have enough room for comfortable finning.

Your normal shoe size in EU sizing. If you're between sizes, round up. If ordering rock boots, we'll use this to size the integrated boots. The optional foot length in cm helps us double-check — measure from heel to longest toe while standing.
